I I? p I! i 4 i a A SELLS'JUITOR. "Xed" Raymour Is Now Living in Omaha. An Example of His Burning Love Letters. SIXTY TEAK OLD LOYER The Aged Lothario Has Lost llis Fortune. lie Now Lives With His Grand children. Slore Testimony Given About Shadowing Sells Home. Ned" Raymour, the "Uncle Ned" of the Sells divorce case who was reported to be dead, is very much alive and lives with his grandchildren at Omaha, Neb. Of the five men who are charged by the plaintiff with having' sustained re lations with Mrs. Peter Sells, wife of the millionaire circus magnate, Kay mour is probably the most interesting, lie was a man of 60 w hen he first met the defendant. He was then a stock agent for the Missouri Pacific railroad, with headquarters at Detroit, Mich. He met Mr. and Mrs. Peter Sells at the home of Mrs. Sells' father in Clayton, 111., and at once became a favorite com panion of the husband. Both Raymour and Sells were Masons, Mr. Raymour being a thirty-second degree Mason at the time. He was invited by Mr. Sells to visit him at his home in Columbus, and promptly availed himself of the in vitation. The Knights Templars held a conclave In Columbus and Mr. Kaymour attended. He called on Mr. Sells, and was invited to take up his headquarters at the Sells residence. From this dates the acquaint ance with Mrs. Sells, which apparently quickly ripened into infatuation on his Iart. His letters bear internal evidence to the fact that his attentions were ap preciated, if not reciprocated. It does not appear from his letters how long his acquaintance with Mrs. Sells con tinued, though the fact that, according to Mrs. Civalls' deposition. Mrs. Sells kept the letters and gave them to her to keep while on the Australian tour shows that he held his place with her for several years. MADE A FORTUNE. Several years ago Mr. Raymour gave tip the railroad business, and went to E. "Uncle Ned," H. RAYMOUR, of the Sells Divorce Case. Mexico to make a fortune. He had some money, and for a time made more. He bought a coffee ranch, and thought, as did his friends, that he was on the high roaa to ricnes. nut the coffee crop fail ed, and business disasters descended upon him. In the end he lost all he had and returned to Omaha, where his daughter now lives, an old man. broken in pocket and health. He still lives there with his daughter and his several grand children. If necessary he may be pro duced on the trial as a witness. No one would suspect, however, from the character of the letters written by him, that he was 60 years old when he met Mrs. Sells. His epistles contain con tradictions of this indisputable fact. Judging from the fervor of his declara tions of passion, his heart must have been that of a boy. He does not indulge In the extravagant protestations of ever lasting fidelity which characterize the letters of Harry Lyons, the "blue-eyed boy" who turned state's evidence, in a manner, when on the witness stand. He does not declare Mrs. Sells to be his "angel queen" nor his "sweet sad-faced sweetheart." To him she is always "his Mamie." and to her he is "Uncle Ned." Neither does he remonstrate with her upon an apparent failure in the well springs of affection, as does Dr. E. S. Potter, the dontist. who is mixed up in the case. When it became apparent that "his Mamie's" affection was slip ping away from him. Mr. Raymour con ducted himself in the truly philosophic manner which marks the man of the iworid. Here are one or two choice excerpts from his letters of passion: "Bless your dear heart, and if I could reach you I just have an idea that ray darling would think Ned not onlv loves the darling, but fully appreciates this letter. Such nice things in it even though you did think Ned was a little rough; but say. darling, don't you worri er fret or feel hurt one particle for here a good big kiss first. And now let me tell you. There is no one whom 1 love as I do you. and you know this. Yes. blind worship, not stopping for any thing. Not a question who, which or why, whether or how it is to terminate Only happy in the fact that it is so' happy, O, so happy to think Mamie is not averse and cares, too. and feeling this, my darling, I would not say a word, perform an act that would give you pain or annoyance for the world if I knew It. Love does not do that. But, en the contrary. I would do al! in my power to make you happy, lift the load that every one has to carry and make the sun shins brighter all the time through cioud and storm and make your fcsso-t as light as childhood. HE TRUSTED HER ify darling-, once for all, don't you ever fcositate to talk right out openly and Ci W me because of any regard you y V may have or may have had In the past for any one, for it will make no differ ence to me not one particle. I am not jealous of any one, and it is enough for me to know that I stand in my Mamie's regards well enough so that she trusts me with all that woman can trust to a man, and darling, I will tell you now that I do know more than you might think of your married life, and that all has not been roses and sunshine, and now, what I do, all my efforts will be to make you forget the past and enjoy all you can in the future; and now as far as your favors to others are con cerned, those things are none of my business or any one's else. You have and have had the right, and darling, with your confiding, loving nature, lov ing caresses, petting kisses, your old failings are left alcne If you have had intrigues by the dozen it is no one's business but your own. So darling, as I said before, do not have any fears to say or talk about these things to me as you like. It makes no difference to me if you have had a thousand, I love my darling as she is, for what I see in herself alone. Not what she was, can, be or can give. I have had all that only to make her still dearer to me. No, my darling, do not make any mistake in this or misunderstand me. Read whatl say carefully, very carefully, and in, the future you will have no need of secrecy or anything else, only I, Ned, want all the love Mamie dear has to spare. Ned will guard it carefully and fully appre ciate it as no one else can. I have the rest, but it is the love Ned wants, too. "One might as well go up town, buy what he wants and go about his busi ness, make a business transaction of it, same as buying dress goods and I did enjoy it so much and did so hate to see you go. but you. of course, told me you must, and I could not say a word, think ing that you knew best how you were circumstanced. "But had that been out of town, away from home, then we could have done as we liked, as much as we liked, but it is all right, darling; these things will keep, and next time I come we will, if we can squeeze out' a little more time. Surely, anyway, on that account I am sarry about that night, and had I had known for sure that it was so I could have told you what to do. "Now from what you have seen and what you know, w hieh do you think that Ned loves Mamie for? Her person, a passionate love love of person or an honest, true love for Mamie herself, for what Mamie is. be it called passionate or lukewarm? Now, my dear, you've a woman's thoughts and you can't fool a woman one bit; her intuition alone al ways tells rightly. Say, now, what say you? What impression has it left on your mind as to how and what kind of love Ned has for Mamie? Then you think such a little wee short visit did not hardly pay me for my trouble, eh? Well, I guess you have concluded from my letter that no minute wth Mamie is a pleasure only to take her hand." At the fifth day of the Sells trial the examination of Detective Mahoney was completed. He was -asked what he w as paid for shadowing Mrs. Sells. His an swer showed that it is somewhat ex pensive to have a wife watched by a private detective agency. It would be cheaper to do it himself. He was paid $5 per day and expenses for each man while in the city and $7 and expenses while out of the city. He had been paid $600 and there was still $500 due him. In answer to the question what other detectives were employed on the case, Mahoney said that no one, so far as he knew, except "the fellow with the show." This was Detective Smoot. He came to Mahoney's office on November 13 and 14 and did some work on the case. He watched at the Sells residence for a night or two. Mahoney thought he was now in the city. Mr. Page, at torney for William Bott, here took a look at the reports, and they were then put in evidence after they had been iden tified. On some of the reports w-as the nota tion "H. 1" or "H. 2." He was asked what this meant. "Oh, there were two "H.'s" called at the house." "Two?" "Yes; Hardesty and another," an swered the detective, and even the judge smiled. Mahoney was asked if he had ever had any conversation with Miss Florence Sells, and he said that he did not know the young woman and had never talked with her. Mahoney said that there w ere lots of reports which had not been put m evidence. At this point Judge Hag erty and Mr: Huling held a conference, and then Mr. Hagerty called Mr. Bott into the back room for a short time. Mr. Huling asked the witness, "Did you not have a conversation with Mr. Bott and Mr. Cannon some six weeks ago?" "Seems to me I was in. to see Mr. Cannon." "Didn't Mr. Cannon bring Mr. Bott up to see you?" "Not that I remember of." "Mr. Mahoney, didn't you tell Mr. Cannon that you didn't want to testify in this case, and that if they would make it all right with you that you would leave the state and keep out of the way?" Mr. Mahoney grew Indignant. "No T didn't. There ain't nobodv can make it all risrht with me." The witness was then dismissed, but told to come back in the afternoon and bring with him the books and records he had spoken of as being in his possession. Frank Mahoney, ageci 16. son of De tective Mahonev, was the next witness called. Frank was the first shadow placed on the Sells house. He told of following Bott on the night of the 23d of October. 1.911, and of seeins: him en ter the house. He then telephoned his father. He told of the other nights ne had watched the house, and of what he had seen. It was merely a repetition of the evidence of his father. On cross-examination, it was developed that for a part of the time he was engnged in watch ing Harry Lyons. The witness was dis missed and an adjournment taken for noon. There was the same rush in the after noon for seats in the courtroom as there had been in the morning. Seven women came in and took front seats. They were greatly interested in Mr. Bott and every time his name was mentioned they would tret their heads together and whisper They asked that Harry Lyons be pointed out to tnem. but the blue-eyed ooy was not present. One of the women wore glasses and took notes of .the evidence. Another had a head of golden hair and listened most intensely to everything that was said. The attorneys were late anil court was not opened until after the hour. There was even a larger crowd in the lobby than during the morning session. Peter Murphy, partner of John Mahoney, was plaeed on the stand, and Mr. Sater, attorney for Mr. Sells, questioned him. He gave a history of his life and then began on his part of the watch kept on the Sells home. He told of the taking of Bott's bicycle from the side entrance of the house bv Mahoney and described how Mr. Bott came to the house and left it. His evi dence was in line with that of Mahonev and nothing new was elicited from hini. During the time this witness was on the stand. Mrs. Sells, her mother and her brother came in. He was turned over to Air. Huiing for cross-examination, but nothing new was brought out. Mr. Sater asked him a few question on redirect ex amination in regard to the windows of the Sells house and the shadows on the blinds. Henry Ehret, another of the band of LContinued on Sixth Page, EXIT BLIND TIGERS They Give Way to Open Bars in Topeka. Jointists Appear to Have Lost All Fear. MASKS THROWN OFF. No Longer Necessary For Bar keepers to Hide. Topeka Again Faces Open Sa loon Problem. NEW PLACES STARTED Several "Cigar Stores" Turned Into Saloons. Are Gambling Houses Also Become Strangely Bold. The Topeka jointists' "blind tiger" has left town. This efficient ruse that has done duty for about a month has been discarded gradually within the past few days and over Sunday disappeared en tirely. Since the search and seizure decision gave the jointists a respite, when they were hard pressed for a time after the in stallation of Chief Stahl, and since they have been reading more hope in the out come of the local election, they have been getting bolder and bolder. "Blind tigers" were put in when the law-breakers were scared. A laxity in raids gave them renewed audacity and today the open bar is flourishing again. No ner vousness is manifest and watch-dogs on duty have abated their vigilance some what. Two new joints were opened in prominent places on Kansas avenue, roulette and other gambling games are going in two Kansas avenue resorts also. About the time Chief Stahl was installed in office and prosecutions were started thick and fast, the jointists learn ed some modesty. They put up screens reaching from the bar to the ceiling. The whole bar was thus boxed in. It was not a thing of beauty. Floor boards that knew no paint and no varnish were dove-tailed together into a rude parti tion. The combination looked like nothing on earth. It was not a dry goods box, it was not a manger.it was not a shuffle board, it was not a refrigerator. In some respects it resembles parts and parcels of all of them. As a whole the structure was box-like. It may have sat in a corner of the room and presented two rectangular faces to habitues. It may have been projected right out into a room, showing three sides of a box, or it may have been a simple wooden partition from wall to wall of a room. Elementally all were of similar construction, however. The par tition reached from the top of the bar to the ceiling. In place of the ordinary flat bar there was a trough about six inches in depth. This trough was bisect ed from end to end by the partition, but the lower edge of the partition rested on cross-pieces on a level with the top of the trough, so that glasses could be moved freely underneath from one side of the trough to the other. In practice, it is almost needless to add, the glasses moved from back to front filled, and from front to back empty. About midway in front of the struc ture a nickelled cash register would be mortised into the partition. In some in stances there was a little curtain-flap behind the top glass of the cash regis ter at which an eye appeared within for a peep at the thirsty individual waiting without. Above the cash regis ter in bold black letters appeared the instructions to: LAY DOWN YOUR MONEY i AND CALL FOR WHAT YOU WANT Since the designation "it" could not for long suffice to designate this crea tion of the woodworkers' art, some one exercised the prerogative of old Father Adam, giving "it" an appellation and a name. There was nothing poetically suggestive in the appearance of the thing, but there were attributes. One of these attributes made itself known if by any chance the concealed drink dispenser became impatient or anxious to serve slothful customers. The poetic, confused Adam before whom the thing seemed to pass had euch an experience. He heard an ominous rattling behind the screen. There was a low growl that sounded like the snarl of a whelp. "It's a tiger!" he exclaimed. "And it's blind. Tiger (hie. blind (hie). Blind tiger! Hooray! That's it blind tiger!" Adam, the namer of things, is not the only one to have his little joke on the Topeka joint. The facetious drummer who "makes Topeka" exhibits his wit in this wisfv "What's that curious animal you have on exhibition here" he. remarks in an I-made-a-big-sale-today-come-and-have something tone of voice. "Yes; that an imal, I mean, whom nature has slighted, whose orbs the iight of day never pene trates. Ah, ha! the one that cannot see." "An owl?" "No; the owl sees by night." "Oh, I know; you mean a mole." "No. no, no. Not a mole. Yes, let me see. This animal is blind. Oh. now I know. A tiger, is it? Yes, that's it a tiger, blind tiger. That's it. Ha, ha, ha!" Alas! the drummer that makes Topeka now has missed viewing the animal. But ;f the "blind tiger" was a joke, it was by no means a myth. It served its day and generation until the "search and seizure" decision annulled the city ordinance and blocked the machinery of the law. Then came election and. with or without reason, the sick tiger took heart again and recovered sight rapidly. Last Wednesday five joints in the heart of the city had up blind bars. Today the masks are all down and the tiger's patron looks him square in the eyes once more. The present attitude is boldness again. New resorts are springing up thickly right on Kansas avenue in the heart of the city. Is.it possible that the trend of events is to make these enter prises thrive? There is "The Senate." a few doors south of Fourth, on Kansas avenue. It began business a week ago last Thurs day. In the entry is the cigar stand, then comes a large room with three bil liard tables set up and the rubbish of plaster repairs and alterations still staining the floor. In the rear is a par titioned room with a plain board bar, shelf with glasses and liquor to be bought. "We were going to put in a fine hardwood bar and" fixtures," says the bartender. "We had the bargain, all made with the wholesale agent. It was to cost $1,000, and we would take all the risk, but the agent declined to furnish it finally. Then we were going to put up a "blind tiger." But what's the use? This is all right." Right opposite the postoffice, on Fifth avenue, there used to be an eating house last summer. The restaurant bar and shelves are still in place, but there are no festive ham sandwiches and toothsome pies on them now. The front room is bleak and bare. Save for these skeletons of trade there are no remind ers left of the rushing business that was open and abovebo&rd in the sweltering months. But in the rear room, until last Saturday, there was a "blind tiger." It was typical of all that were. Here the bumptious scribbler left his mark upon the bare partition, more than else where, perhaps. "This is a stahl" reads one inscription among the rest. The others were: "Do not feed the tiger anything but money. Ferget It." "This tiger is not blind in, both eyes." 'If you ain't got no money, Why you needn't come 'round.' "Hi Ki, the wild man." Klauer's at No. 526 Kansas avenue sported a "blind tiger" until a few days ago. There is an open bar in oper ation now. Two doors from the Sixth Avenue ho tel is another resort. Back of the cigar stand and billiard hall a big placard by an open door into the rear room reads: "The Capital City Club." Contraband fluids are dispensed over an open bar. Several "loud" pictures adorn the wall behind it. s Next door to the Crawford Opera House, on the north, is. the flashily adorned Apex cigar store. In the rear room is an open bar nowadays. Until Thursday morning last it also was a "blind tiger." Up on Kansas avenue, between Sev enth street and Eighth avenue, the Roy al Billiard parlors are in full blast. Here is a back room with oil cloth covered bar and shelf. Last week it was a blind for the real "blind tiger,"that held forth on the second floor immediately over head. Not long ago a doorkeeper was stationed at the foot of the stairs, who would close and lock the door if an alarm was given, leaving to view the deserted barroom down stairs just as it was left after the last raid. This morn ing, after the latest raid, the open bar in the back room was in active opera tion, and the upstairs apartment closed. On the Royal "blind tiger's" side, on view last week, there was an echo of the election in the scribbled words: Will bet as follows: J5 MeKinley is elected, $5 Stanley is elected. $5 Hazen is elected. $5 Nichols is elected. Take all or none. Another resort has" reopened since the events of the last few weeks have said "Open sesame." In the rooms on the second floor over Keene's drug store, at 803 Kansas avenue, is a splendidly fur nished resort. At the head of the nar row stairway the door leading into the rooms is kept locked. The door has a window in it which has been boarded up. An aperture about two inches square is opened by a slide for the door tender to take a look at applicants for admission. In ..the large room are billiard and poker tables and a roulette game goes on. In the next room a hard-wood bar and refrigerator shines with its new coat of varnish and the bartender is silhouetted against a gorgeous, reddish-pink, felt wallpaper. There is also another side room containing card and drinking ta bles. These are some of ths principal resorts an excursion around the city reveals. The "blind tiger" as an institution was short-lived. It was conceived and put into execution in a time of turmoil and trouble, but since the hands of the law are bound, the scales dropped from the eyes ot the sightless animal, and anoth er chapter in the clandestine rum traf fie of Topeka is ended. RAILROAD DESTROYED. Chinese Do Great Damage to the Manchuria Line. St. Petersburg, Nov.19 Dispatch from Vladivostock says the Chinese have de stroyed 300 versts of thesouther.n section of the Manehurian railroad. All the sta tions were burned and much rolling stock was destroyed. The damage is es timated at ten million roubles. Shanghai, Nov. 19. The governor gen eral of the province of Szechuen has been ordered to join the court. This causes excitement in Povincial official dom, as t is regarded as a further in dication that the imperial family is go ing to Szechuen. Canton, Nov. 19. Refugees who have arrived here report that anti-Christian riots have broken out in the province of Kiang Si. The non-Christians are wear is badges and all persons not so decora ted are in danger of death. The viceroy of the province has appointed a -deputy to settle the French claims, and three French gunboats will accompany the latter w-ith the view of enforcing his or ders. LOOK OUT FOR SNOW. Weather Bureau Promises First Fall of Season Tonight The weather bureau promises a snow storm for tonight and Tuesday. The same was forecasted Saturday for Sun day. There was snow Sunday in northern Kansas. The forecast sent out today is "snow tonight and Tuesday. Colder Tuesday." There is a bad mixing of the conditions in the northwest and the ele ments seem badly muddled. The result will probably be a storm. The maximum temperature today up to noon was 35 and the minimum 32. The wind has been northwest blowing 4 miles an hour. FRANK CASE GOES OYER. Preliminary Hearing Postponed Un til Saturday. The preliminary hearing of Mr. and Mrs. Samuel Frank in the city court for the robbing of T. P. Cully's house on. the evening of November 12 was post poned this morning until Saturday morning. The state requested the continuance on the grounds that all the work of pre paring the case for trial had not been completed. The attorneys for the de fense, Ersmintter and Hungate, made a strong plea for the case to go ta trial at once. ESTELLE IS GONE. Murderer and Convict Compan ion Succeed in Escaping. Cravens Got Supper at Farm House Saturday. DODGED THE POSSE. Left the Barn Before It Was Fired. Believed That the Two Fugi tives Have Separated. Convict Smith, Shot by Deputy Warden Thompson, Vies. Special to the State Journal.! Lansing, Kan., Nov. 19. The indica tions, based upon reports received by Warden J. B. Tomlinson, up to nearly noon today, are that Estelle and Cra vens, the escaping convicts, have sepa rated and that Estelle is making an ef fort to reach Kansas City, Cravens heading for Wichita, or at least the south. One mile west from where the bam in which the two men were supposed to be hiding, Cravens got supper Saturday night, at a farm house. WThen the barn in which the men were seen by the owner of the property, Mrs. Moore, was fired, a large posse was ready with guns to shoot the two con victs when they emerged, but the barn burned to the ground and the men did not appear. Aware of the desperate effort bein: made for their capture, Estelle and Cra vens had disappeared while the posse was on its way to surround the barn. Hundreds of rumors reach the peni tentiary as fast as special messenger and telephone and telegraph wires can E. F. ESTELLE, Who Planned and Executed the Escapa From the Penitentiary. carry them, but few of them are to be trusted. On occasions of this kind ev ery one sees in hiding in the brush, the convicts and the prison authorities are immediately notified. It would require two or three regi ments -of soldiers to furnish posses to run down every rumor. Warden Tomlinson is convinced that the two men are not cornered, but is in clined to believe that they have escaped from the pursuing posse. The warden's opinion is based upon the information which he has received, none of which indicates that the men have been again cornered in the woods. Samuel Smith, the third convict, who while attempting to escape, was shot by Deputy Warden William Thompson of Topeka, is dead. Smith, according to the Wichita police is the most desperate criminal in thi3 section of the country. In July, 189S, Smith, together with a half breed In dian named Tom Wind, boarded a Fris co train at Andover, 4 miles east of Wichita, and after it had gone about a mile from the station, the two held up the passengers by threatening them with their pistols. The passengers de livered their money, amounting to sev eral hundred dollars, after which the desperadoes made their escape. The train was stopped and a posse of Ando ver farmers, led by a young man named George Belford, was organized and be gan a search for the robbers. They came upon the pair in the woods nearby and when cornered Smith shot and killed Belford and then both robbers escaped. The railroad company's best detectives and those of the Wells-Fargo company, together witn united states secret ser vice men, were detailed on the case. Af ter a search that took them all over the territory and adjoining states and con tinued for four weeks, the robbers were finally located and arrested 25 miles south of Coffeyville, in the Indian Terri tory. Smith was taken in chains to the Butler county jail, but both men were taken to Wichita for safe keeping. There Smith was placed in solitary confine ment, and during the year he was in jail an extra guard was placed over him constantly and at night he was put in cnains. l ne omeers nere knew that he would make a desperate attempt to escape and they took no chances. Smith was serving a life term in prison for the murder of Belford when he was killed. AiiSSMW The half breed turned witness for the state and is now serving ten years. ESTELLE' S RECORD OF CRIME. E. F. Estelle, the leader of the trio who escaped from the coal mine in the penitentiary Friday and the man who planned the daring deed, has been in the hands of the officers of the law several times within the past year. This is his second escape. Estelle is an old timer. He was re leased from the penitentiary in Septem ber, 1S99, after serving a sentence for r-bbing the postofRce at Belleville, Kansas. He was out of the convict garb but a few days when he married a girl in LaFontaine, Kansas. He nad met her before going to the penitentiary and while in prison he had coresponded with her by sending his letters to a friend in Texas who forwarded them to the girl. Estelle told his sweetheart that he was making his living as a book agent and to prove it had his friend in Texas send the girl a Eible. The couple had been married but a few weeks when Estelle and his wife came to Topeka and secured rooms at a small botei on East Fourth street. He left his wife at the hotel for a few days, saying that he was going on a business trip. She had a bicycle and spent much of her time riding about town. She was from the country and there was much to amuse her in the capital of the state. She was happy and had not thought to question her hus band as to his means of making a liv ing. Her husband was gone but three days and returned. He looked and act ed Just the same. A few nights after he returned the hotel was surrounded by police. There was some one battering the door of Estelle's room. Mrs. Estelle opened the door. There stood Chief Ramsey and several officers. They had the drop on Estelle and took from him two large 45 calibre revolvers and two belts of cartridges. He was taken to the city jail and locked up. It was all a surprise to the wife. During Estelle's absence from Topeka a general merchandise store at Irving, Marshall county, Kansas, had been broken into, the safe blown and $100 in money and $700 in notes taken. Cards describing the robbery wTere sent out. Chief Ramsey received one. The card stated that there was about $100 in silver and that it had been badly mutilated by the explosion. That day it had been re ported to the' chief by Officers Pavey and Donovan that a man had been pass ing mutilated money. Ramsey decided that Estelle was the man wanted for the robbery. He had several pals staying at the hotel with him. That night the arrests were made on no other evidence than that of the mutilated money. Then Chief Ramsey went to work to secure the evidence. He directed the move ments of two detectives and a postofnee inspector and in a few days had Estelle': movements from the time he left Topeka until he returned marked on the map. The evidence against him was certain. The rest of the crowd was allowed to go as there was no evidence to hold them, Estelle was taken to the county jail at Marysville, Marshall county, to be tried on the charge of robbery. He was bound over at the preliminary examina tion, and while being held for trial he and another prisoner escaped. Sheriff St. Claire Guthrie formed a posse and pursued the two escaped prisoners. He kept close to them for 36 hours but could not overtake them. Finally he tel graphed ahead to the sheriff at Council Grove to head off the gang, and the rob bers wrere stopped near that town by posse. The gar.g lortinea tnc-mseives un der a railway bridge and stayed there all day surrounded by the posse. After dark Estelle told his companions that he w as going to escape, and crawled out into the darkness and started to walk awav down the road. He met Deputy Sheriff J. E. Dunlap, and mistook him for the sheriff, and shot him dead in his tracks, Estelle escaped in the dark ness and made his way to Emporia, where he was discovered and surround ed in a thicket. He made his escape again by a clever strategem, but had not gone far until he was recognizea by one of the officers and was cap tured. He was tried for the murder of the deputy and was sentenced to hang, which in Kansas means life imprison ment. He is a Texan by birth, tall lanky, and about 30 years of age, and to look at him one would not think nim capable of killing a chicken. Cravens, who is with him, was serv ing a twenty years' sentence for rob bery. He has the look of a desperate man. but not much is known of hi past history. He was sent up from Chautauqua county. XOFTZGER IS THE MAX. Lot Ravenscraft is Finally Defeated For State Senator. Lot Ravenscraft, the Clark county representative in the lower house, can not respond to the call to the senate, be cause the Republican candidate has the majority. Ravenscraft was presumed to have been elected by a tmall majority, but the vote from the State Soldiers' home electa T. A. Noftzger by a majority of 2. Returns indicating this result, official, have been received at Republican head quarters. A SIOOTOOCT MORTGAGE. It Was on Part of Oakland and Declared Invalid Today. A $100,000 mortgage on 400 lots in the heart of Oakland was held to be invalid by Judge Hazen today. The mortgage was originally for $60,000 but the accrued interest makes the total amount $100, 000. The mortgage w-as given to the old Kansas National bank by John Norton and J. B. Bartholomew and the action to foreclose it was commenced by A. H. Bates, receiver for the bank. Judge Hazen held that the foreclosure of the mortgage was barred by the statute of limitations. GILKEY IS COXYICTED. Man Who Shot Officer Lucas Found Guilty.- The jury in the district court this morning returned a verdict finding Cale Gilkey guilty of attempting to commit manslaughter. The penalty is from six months in the county Jail to five years in the penitentiary. Last summer Mr. and Mrs. Gilkey, colored, assaulted Officer Lucas who) was trying to arrest them. Lucas was fhot but not seriously hurt. Gilkey escaped and that night was captured by a prsse of officers on the river bank three miles west of town. The trial was commenced Thursday and the jury went out Satur day afternoon. When the evidence had all been submitted the state nailed the case against Mrs. Gilkey and it was dis missed. Gilkey served a term in the penitentiary for" a similar assault upon a policeman who trit-d to arrest him in 1S90. The jury considered all charge from attempted murder to assault and battery. On account of the fact that Gilkey has a penitentiary record for a similar offense he will probably receive a severe sentence. POLICEMEN ON TRIAL.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL., MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1900. SPORTING NEWS. Kansas Lost to Nebraska by Score of 12 to 0. Crippled J ay hawkers Did Bet ter Than Expected. SCORE WAS A SURPRISE The Visitors Scored But Twice in Fifty Minutes. Lincoln Eleven Now Decides Not to Play Washburn. Lawrence, Kan., Nov. 19. The walk away which the football prophets had in advance awarded to the Nebraska elev en was not forthcoming when the Corn Huskers met the Kansas Jayhawkers on McCook field Saturday afternoon. The Nebraskans defeated the Kansas univer sity team by a score of 12 to 0, but their victory was "not an easy cne. The" Jay hawkers gave the men from Lincoln a lively '0 minutes, despite the fact that they re crippled by the loss of Tuck er, Odie and Morton, and handicapped by the injuries which Captain Wilcox and Alpie bore through the game. Had K. U. been able to put on the field the team of a fortnight ago. Coach Booth's men might have carried home their first defeat. As it was only a few attempted trick plays on the part of the Kansans caved the-Corn Huskers their boast of a goal line never crossed. The game was principally a line buck ing contest. Quarterback kicks were used occasionally to advantage, but Kansas soon found that Quigley or Cop ping with a tackle over and Jenkinson s terrific plunges were what counted, while the Corn Huskers learned that the Kansas line could be assailed to more advantage than the ends. Both the lines were weak on the defensive and strong on offense. The linemen were pretty closely matched, although, the Com Huskers were several notches ahead of the Kansans. The work of the Nebraskans showed experience, while the playing of a few of the Jayhawkers smacked very much of the novice. Neck hugging and tack les waist high were some of the modes employed by the Kansas players to bring down their men. The linemen were the guilty ones on each, occasion. Then the Nebraska ends on punts by K. U. had a trick of tangling up Hart and Algie, thus delaying them in getting down the field. Coach Booth's backs on the offensive all take the sprinter's start, a scheme which enabled them to strike the line very low and hard. The game was remarkably free from waits, but little time being taken out in either half and but few men being in jured. Kansas lost one man, Breese, whose knee gave out early in the first half. He was succeeded by Hart. Capt. Wilcox of if. T.J.. though injured, lasted the game out, while Pouppit and Shrant, contrary to expectation, played the whole 50 minutes and came out still full of fight. Botsford kicked off for K. TJ. and Crandall of Nebraska was stopped well back in hi? territory with the ball. Ne braska kicked out of danger and K. IT. secured the ball and advanced it down the field, using tackles, back plays and the five men interference. The Corn Huskers could not stop the rushes of the K. TJ. backs and the bail was shoved clear down to their ten yaijd line, but there they rallied. The K. 17. rooters crowded behind the goal line were shouting "Come on. Kansas," but Kan sas at the critical moment couldn't come. Nebraska secured the ball on down and rushed it out of their territory by a fierce attack on the Jayhawkers' line. Then once again Kansas took the ball. End runs and bucks pushed the ball down the field until Botsford tried a quarterback kick. The Jayhawker halves failed to get the ball and" it went into the possession of their opponents. This time Nebraska held it and fought its way through the Kansas line for a touchdown. The first half closed short ly after K. IT. had kicked oft. The second half was more exciting than the first. The teams surged back and forth, line bucks being used to ad vantage by both sides. Once the ball THE ARMY OF HEALTH. The Army in the Philippines Insig nificant Compared With This One. If all the people in the United States, Canada and Great Britain who make daily use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets could be assembled together it would make an army that would outnumber our army of one hundred thousand by at least five to one. Men and women, who are broken down In health, are only a part of the thou pands who use this poular preparation, the greater number are peoDle who are in fair health but who know that the way to keep well is to keep the digestion perfect and use Stuart's Tablets as ularly as meal time comes to insure good digestion and proper assimilation of food. Prevention is always better than cure- and disease can find no foothold if the digestion is kept in good working order by the daily use of Stuart's Dyspepsia Mr. Thomas Seale. Mavfield. Cal ays: "Have used and recommended ftuart'a Tablets because there is noth ing like them to keep the stomach ngnt." Miss Lelia Divelv. 4627 Plummer Kt Pittsburg. Pa., writes: "I wish everyone to know how grateful I am for Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. I suffered for a long time and did not know what ailed me. I lost flesh right along until one day 1 noticed an advertisement of these tab lets and immediately bought a 50 cent box at the drug store. I am only on the second box and am gaining In flesh and color. I have at last found some thing that has reached my ailment." From Mrs. Del. Eldred. Sun Prairie. Wis.: "I was taken dizzy very suddenly during the hot weather of the past sum mer. After ten day3 of constant dizzi ness I went to our local physician, who aid my liver was torpid and I had everheated my blood; he doctored me for two weeks without much improvement: I finally thought of Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets (which I had used long before for various bad feelings) and the first three tablets helped me. "They are easily the best all around family medicine I ever used." The army cf people who take Stuart's Tablets are mostly people in fairly good health, and who keep well by taking them regularly after meals. They con tain no opiates, cocaine or any cathartic or ir.jurious drugs, simply the natural peptones and digestives which every weak stomach lacks. Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets are sold by dr-aggists everywhere in u nited States, Canada and Ureat Britain. aa onS. TJ.'s five yard line; but a well directed kick by Quigley sent it 20 yard3 un the field, where it was fumbled by a Nebraskan and secured by K. TJ. Ne braska's second .touchdown, which was scored some three minutes before the close of the half, was the spectacular play of the game. K. TJ. had punted and Drain of rsebraska caught the kick on Nebraska's 40 yard line. Coolly and with deliberation, Drain waited until a half dozen men had formed an Interfer ence in front of him and then away he went. One after another the K. TJ. tack les were brushed aside by Drain's inter ference and after a run of 70 yard3 the ball was placed between the K. TJ. goal posts and the goal was kicked. Manager M'ukey or Nebraska oas can celed the game which was to have been played with Washburn Tuesday. His wisdom in taking that step is apparent. It was plain to those who have seen Washburn play and those who saw this game that the Nebraskans would im peril their colors most dangerously by a game with the Topeka team.

Cashier Steals More Than Double the Capital Stock Cincinnati, Nov. 19. United States Bank Examiner Tucker today took pos session of the German National bank at Newport, Ky., and posted a notice that the bank would remain closed, pending an examination. Examiner Tucker also announced un officially that Frank M. Brown, the as sistant cashier, was missing, and that a partial investigation showed that Brown was short about $201,000. Blown had been with the bank eigh teen years, was one of the most trusted men ever connected with this bank, and H is stated by the experts that his op erations extended back as far as ten years. The capital stock of the bank is only $100,000. Brown's shortage is double that amount, and more than the reserve and all the assets, including their real estate. While Alvord got away with $700,000 in New York, he did it in a large bank. Brown did not have so much to go on, and seems to have gone the full limit for a small bank in a city of less than 30.000 inhabitants. The First National bank of Newport was wrecked two years ago by Cashier Youtsey and now, with the German. Na tional closed Newport has only one bank left. Far two weeks there have been rumors that Brown was short, and some de positors withdrew their accounts. Three weeks ago the bank examiners made a good statement for the bank and the officers and directors allayed suspicion by referring to the report of this exami nation, and to their last statement, in which all of Brown's defalcations were covered up by him. Last Wednesday Brown left, and it was announced that he had gone hunting on a vacation. He did get a ticket for Odin, 111., but it is learned now that he did not go there, and it is generally be lieved that he is out of this country with plenty of money in his possession. It is learned that Brown was suspended last Tuesday, pending an investigation, and that experts have been at work all the past week, while the olllcers and di rectors have been making announce ments that everything was all right. Last Friday the officers and directors published in the papers of this city a statement that the bank had been found to be all right, and that the rumors about Brown were false. They continued making these statements to the press as late as last midnight, but the statements were not accepted by the Commercial Tribune, which exposed not only Brown, but also the bank officers, and caused a panic in Newport today, so that the bank had to be taken in charge by the examiner. The wildest scenes were wit nessed in Newport today, and serious trouble is feared tomorrow when the officers and directors will be confronted by the people, who have hunted them in vain tcxiav. Brown was living a fast life, with wine, women and gambling In his reper toire. His career was not cut short by any discovery at the bank until a jeal ous woman gave him away. Brown is a widower, with one son. aged lu yearn who lives with Brown's father, Paris C. Brown, ex-mayor of Newport, and one of the leading business men of Cin cinnati. Last summer Brown visited Yellowstone Park and a woman whom he is said to have lived with in Cincin nati wanted to accompany him, but this was denied her. When she ascertained sometime afterward that another wo man was with Brown on his western trip, the Cincinnati woman gave the bank officials some information that brought about a crisis. The only fare well letter that Brown is known to have left was to this woman, whose apart ments are on Ninth street, in Cincinnati and in this letter he admits that he had secured about all that he could get and that the time had come to say fare well. Brown was a great poker player, with the limit never too high, and he had been a plunger on horse races for years. His bets on the races were fre quently too high for the pool rooms in Covington, Ky., and he had brokers la both Chicago and New York. The officers of the German National bank are: President, Henry Weidener. vice president, Jamess M. Southgate; cashier. E. C. Remme. All of them are wealthy and responsi ble men, and they will be able to make the losses good, but the fate of the bank is in doubt, owing to intense feel ing among the depositors. Among the directors is Paris C.Brown, the father of the defaulter, who is known from Pittsburg to New Orleans as the head of the stores for boat supplies. The cashier of this bank is also' the paying teller and Brown relieved him as paying teller when the cashier went to his dinner. It is stated that Brown did most of his work during the noon lunch of the cashier. There was quite a run on the bank Saturday, but the usual announcement was made, as it continued to be made to the press till after midnight, but more of a ruh is expected at tne bank today even if there has been a notice posted that the bank is closed pending investigation and some fear that there will be serious trouble, even to the ex tent of violence.

Mrs. John F. yon Herlieh Will Enter Grand Opera. POPULAR IN CHURCH. Husband Will Spend 810,000 on Her Education. A Three Years' Course Finish ing in Europe. Kansas City, Kan., Nov. 19. Much in terest attaches to the announcement that Mrs. John F. von Herlieh, wife of the rector of St. Paul's Episcopal church had decided to fit herself for the op eratic stage. The report was confirmed by Rev. Mr. von Herlieh, who said that he fully approved of this and was pre pared to spend $10,000 in paying the ex penses of the necessary instruction in vocal music which Mrs. von Herlieh con templates. Mrs. von Herlieh Is only 21 years old and she is a woman of great beauty and has always been popular as a church worker. She has never sung in public except at charity benefits and her voice up to six months ago was not trained. Although only a beginner in voice cul ture, Mrs. von Herlieh gives promise of wonderful development, and both she and her hu3band are firm in their re solve that she shall yet be a stellar vocalist of the first magnitude. Her instructors say that she has a range of three octaves and that her voice is of a pure mezzo quality which charms all who have had the pleasure of hearing it. That she has made re markable progress in her lessons is at tested by her instructors Mrs. von Herlieh had intended to go to New York this winter and enter a special class there, but she has decidedd to re main in Kansas City until spring. She will then begin a three years' course of instruction, finishing in Europe. Mr. von Herlieh has abundant means to see that hi3 wife has every advantage of education. Before her marriage to Mr. von Her lieh she was Miss Hossfield. whose father is a large trunk manufacturer. She lived in Wichita, where Mr. von Herlieh was rector of St. John's Episcopal church. They have been married just a year. ADMIRES THE WIDOWS. Wichita Women Victims of a Bogus Arizona Millionaire. Wichita, Kas., Nov. 19. Walter C. Myers, who claims to be a millionaire cattleman of Tombstone, A. T., was ar rested here on the charge of presenting alleged forged checks to a number of widows of Wichita from whom It is said he had exacted a promise of marriage. Myers came here some weeks ago, and because of his prosperous appearance and gentlemanly manners he soon man aged to receive invitations to the social functions of the upper set in this city. In this manner he became acquainted with a widow, whose bearing was charming, and the Arizona man imme diately planned to lay siege to the heart of the Wichita lady. It was definitely decided that the two should wed in the r.ear future. During the days in which he was telling the first lady of his inten tions, Myers met another Wichita widow and the same story was related, Myers continued his court to both women and within a few days more a third widow was placed on the list of those who would go to his Arizona home and live in luxury. From each of these he exacted a promise that the engagement would be kept a secret for a few weeks. But meanwhile he took them to different jewelry store to select the engagement ring, which was to be purchased later. Two of them, Mrs. Kay and Mrs. Allen, were given checks with which he in sisted thpy should purchase their wed ding outfits. In this manner the fraud was exposed. The checks were for $500, on the First National bank of this city, an institution which does not exist here. The managers of the stores to w hich the widows had gone informed them of this fact and they avowed that they had not known this before. Mrs. Kay at once became suspicions of the millionaire cattleman and she reported the matter to the police. She had hardly left the police station -when- Mr Allen eame to make a similar report to the chief. De tectives were detailed to arrest Myers and that individual was soon brought in. He confessed that he was not worth anything, that he had signed the checks and made love to the three widows only as a part of a game he was playing. Just what his game ia he refused to tell.

The case, now before the circuit court asks fyr J10.000 damages, instead of !5,000, as. was orig inally claimed, the ground for the raise being that Mr. Schmidt died in great agony and additional money is asked for hia suffering. TO REDUCE WAR TAXES. Congress May Cut Off Some $20,000, 000 of Revenue. New York, Nov. 19. A dispatch to the World from Washington says: The house ways and means committee proposes to introduce a bill for the re duction of the war taxes. The measure will be thoroughly discussed in commit tee during the next two weeks. Representative Da'zeil, of Pensylva nia, one of the members of the ways and means committee, said: "It is our intention to take off be tween $15,000,000 and $.'0,000,000 of the war taxes. The committee will give no hearings upon the subject. Secretary Gage and the commissioner of internal revenue have been asked to furnish a schedule of the articles upon which war taxes are collected, with the amount of the receipts. "Until these statements are received no exact estimate can be made of the amount of the war tax to be removed or the article to be favored. There will be no prolonged debate in congress over the subject." Mr. DalzeH's remarks regarding the limiting of debate are significant, as he is a member of the committee on rules, which controls the time of debate. STEEL 31 EX'S WAGES CUT.

The mem bers of the board of education in a pri vate conference which preceded the reg ular session last night dtm-useed the work of Willis Brown of Chicngr. in the public schools and dec ided that he must stop his anti-cicarette crusade In the schools. The criticisms which have be-n made of Mr, Brown's methods of con ducting his work in the schools were, considered and the adverse decision fol lowed. "We do not take any stock In Mr. Brown," said a commissioner. "His agi tation puts the smoking Idea into the heads of boys and girls who have never thought of it, and his idea of making the pupils take a pledge is calculated to make a pupil lose his wlf-respect if he takes a pledge and then breaks it."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. NOVEMBER 19. 1900. r. .AILROAD NEWS. California Fruit TraElc Will Soon Be on the Move. Railroads Make Extensile Prep arations For Carryiug. CONCENTRATING CARS. Santa Fe Built Six Hundred New Fruit Cars. Bushing Last of Them Oat of Chicago Shops. Within two weeks' time the movement of California fruit will begin and all the railroads that handle this class of business are making extensive prepara tions to carry heavy shipments. ine yield this year has been unusuai.y pro lific and the demand fur transportation facilities to eastern markets will De so-metning enormous. With its isnes running- rieht into tne heart of the fruit growers' paradise, tne Fanta Fe road will handle a large buia cf the- business. F-r a month past this road has b-en concentrating its fruit cars at available points in Cauiornia. No opportunity to load advantageously the new refrigerator cars that have been built esneUa.iy for this trarfic m tne past summer, with sundry classes or freight to Pacific coast points, has been allowed to go unimproved of late. For the fruit traffic the Santa Fe has built, or is having built. 6oO new re frigerator cars. Two hundred or sucn have been constructed or remodelled at the shop here in Topeka. A contract for four hundred was given out in Chi cpo, of which one hundred and f- rty have aireadv been delivered. Carbuildei 'Charles Pwar.son. of Topeka, is now in Chicago superintending the construction of the remainder. "WATCH INSPECTION BECOKD. Excellent Time-Pieces Carried by Railroad Men Generally. The November number of the Santa F contains the following interesting bit cf Information: The annual inspection of watches for the Santa Fe has just been completed and has tven remarkable for the few poor watches f tuni. l.fJ-5 watches are carnal by err.p.oy-s who have the han dling' of trains on the A.. T. k S. F. rail way iprcpen, S3 watches carried b engineers. i by crnductcrs. 1SH by yard f. remen. Tb by yard masters and 6 by piiots; of this number ail have been found correct excrpt 163 which are now In the hands of local repairers or fac tories. The total number of condemned end new watches ordered to take their place was 10, which shows that the watches carried by the m-n are the best the market produces. Whn you con eider that in rating and testing a watch it requires 3 days for each watch, you can readily see that the position of H. S. Montgomery, general watch inspector, is no small task. The above figures do not include the washes on the Gulf, Colorado Santa Fe. Southern Cali fornia railway. Santa Fe Pacific and the San Joaquin Valley railroad. K3. MEADS IS PBESIDENT. Roadmaaters Appreciate Talk on "Chemical Treatment of Cross Ties." Probably the most interesting of all the questions that came lf.-re the convention of the Koadmasters of Amer ica, at Los Angeles, was that of "Chem ical Treatment of Cross Ties,' presented by J. M. Mea io, of Topeka, resident en gineer of the Santa Fe. Mr. Meade had with him a s-cticn of mountain pine cross tie taken from the main line of the fanta. Fe. which fifteen years ago was chemically treated and put into the roadbed. The tie is preserved in almost perf-ct condition, is scarcely at all in dented by the rail plate, after all these years of pounding, and it is apparently pood for fifteen years more. The natural life of the tie. without being treated, is i but four years. The expression was strongly in favor of soft-wood ties, chemically treated. The life of a white oak tie is but eight years. The process cf treating a tie is brieny given as fol lows: vs e generally lt the ties season about six month?: they are then run into 1 ong cylinders, the doors are closed, and the timbers steamed from two to three hours to get cut the natural sap. Then the condensation is drawn off and a vacuum pump put cn to secure as much Fpace as possible, then the chloride of zinc is let in. which, after taking up ail the vacuum it will, a pressure is put on with a force of about one hundred pounds per square inch. This pressure is left on about three hours. The ab sorption is about 2 per cent of chloride of zinc. Ail the solution that is not then taken up by the wood is pumped back into the vats and the glue and tannin are applied. The glue and tannin seal the ends of the ties and keep the solu tion in the grain of the wood." The Santa Fe railroad has now four plants fr treating ties, with a total capacity of over b'.OOO ties per cay. In the election of officers of the as sociation Mr. Meade was elected presi dent: vice presidents. Charles M. Eniry r-f Cedar Rapids. Iowa, and George E Hayward of Mankato.

Mudge and party of officials Pueblo learns definitely that its present depot w-ili be enlarged, the yards extended, and an eight-mile cut-off to avoid a hill south of the city soon built. Aftr the completion of the extension of the present yards, it is the intention to abandon the oid C. S. yards. This is taken as an indication that the ties between the two roads are becom ing stronger, and that the joint track agreement between Pueblo and Denver Is a permanent institution. The improvements are expected to cost in the neighborhood of $150,000. HOCK ISLAND BUYS LAND. Three Acres Bought in Armourdale Tor Switch Yards. Ttoe Chicago. Rock Island and Pacific Railroad company has purchased nearly three acres of land along" the company's tracks in Armourdale from the heirs of Thomas Vickroy for S15.?ilS.

(First uncensored news by cablegram since the American occupation). Last week witnessed a very considerable increase irr rebel and Ameri can activity in the field. Many skirmishes occurred and several small engagements in Northern and Southern Luzon. The termination of the rains permits a re sumption of operations on both sides. The Americans are undertaking a series of aggressive movements against the in surgents, notably upon the Island of Sa mar, against General Lukban, whose forces hold the enWre island, with the ex ception of three coast towns, each of which is garrisoned by two companies of the Twenty-ninth infantry and a platoon of artllierv. The rebels are continually shooting Into the garrisoned towns, and our forces have not been sufficient to retaliate effeetivelv. Commerce in Samar has been at a stand still, and most of the influential inhab itants have departed. General Hare has arrived there with 250 men. He will .bring eicht companies of the Second infantry from the Island of Marinduque as they mav be needed, and will proceed energet ically to crush General Lukban. Mean while. United States gunboats will patrol the coast to prevent the escape of the in surgent leader. Lukban still holds three members of the Forty-third regiment pris oners. The rifles which the party of Captain Devereaux Shields, of company F. Twenty-ninth volunteer infantry, lost last Sep. tember in Marinduque at the time of the capture have not yet been recovered from all the insurgents. All of the Marinduque garrisons are being continued. The Fourteenth infantry, which recently arrived from China, will relieve the Twen-tv-first infantry from duty in Manila, and the Twenty-first will relieve the Thirty eighth infantry in Southern Luzon, the Thirtv-eighth infantry proceeding to the island of Panay to reinforce the troops there- The Twenty-eightk infantry will rinforce the garrisons in the island of Mindanao, particularly at Kagayan, where an armed truce between the rebels and the Americans has existed for months past. General Wheaton. commanding in the department of Northern Luzon, is sending reinforcements to General Young's prov inces, where the natives under General Tinio and Aglipav, the ex-communicated Filipino priest, are showing signs of rest lessness, deserting the domiciles that they have occupied during the rainy season, and joining, under compulsion of fear, the insurgents in the mountains. Notable among the week's engagements was General Grant's advance with Mac cabebe and American scouts upon a rebel stronghold, thirtv-five miles north of Ma nila, which was defended by C'-O insurgents armed with rides. After skirmishing and fighting for the greater part cf a day and night, the enemy was dislodged from the mountain fastness, and immense quanti ties of rice and stores, with ammunition, were destroyed. Fifty Filipinos were kill ed and many others wounded. The insur gents carried off their dead. The Ameri can losses were eleven privates and one officer wounded and one Maccabebe killed. Lieutenant Frederick W. Alstaeter, of the engineers, who was captured by the insurgents in Luzon last September, has sent, with the permission of his captors, a letter to Manila asking for food, meney and clothing which will be forwarded to him by a native runner. His health is broken and his release is problematical. General MacArthur has gone to Subig bay with Admiral Remey on the United States cruiser Brooklyn for the purpose of examining the locality. It is probable that l.K") marines now in Philippines wa ters will be used to relieve certain army p-?sts, rendering the relieved soldiers available for other and more urgent du ties. It is understood that General Mac Arthur is considering the question of es. iablishing more marines in the vicinity of Subig. He is expected to return here to morrow.

Unimportant Gossip Still Floating Around. New Tork, Nov. 19. The order for the new yacht to defend, the America's cup in the match of August next against the Shamrock II. was placed with the Herreshoff3 on Wednesday November 14, the contract required in the case be ing signed in this city on that day. Now the work of building will be car ried on as fast as it is practicable. An earty launching of the boat will be re quired, because of the early date of the races, so it i3 probable that the new craft will be afloat the latter part of April or the 1st of May. The material of the hull of the new boat is, of course, a secret and is iikely to remain so for some time to come. The new boat will be thoroughly built, but it will assume shape more rapidly than the Columbia, because of the addi tional experience of the buildera and the urgent necessities of the case. The committee of the New York Yacht club in charge of the challenge still re frains from making public the person nel of the syndicate that is building the new cup yacht. There has been, how ever, no denial of the published state ment that Vice Commodore August Bel mont is at the head of the syndicate and that Mr. Cornelius Vanderbilt is in it. It is generally understood, though.that the younger element of the club is well represented. It rests with Commodore Ledyard, who is the chairman of the New York Yacht club committee on the challenge to make public the names of the full syndicate. BY PARTIES UNKNOWN.

Johnson of Den ver, President Slocum of Colorado col lege. Rabbi Friedman, and the Rev. Mr. Coyle of Denver; Mrs. Sarah Platte Decker, prominent in National Woman's club circles, and others. They all spoke in strong terms, con demning what was termed the "Limon atrocity," and also denounced the sen sational display of the writeups con cerning it in newspapers. The audience was stirred to almost riotous demon strations of approval at times. Resolu tions adopted admit the difficulty of ad equately characterizing the crime for which Porter was punished, but declare that, however much the negro, by his crime, merited death, no crime can jus tify recourse to such barbaric methods, and while the action of the people of Lincoln county is attributed to excite ment and passion, it is none the less condemned and discountenanced. Hope is expressed that a law will be speedily enacted in Colorado providing effective punishment for crimes such as incited tn tortu-e of Porter and atso that rp after each and every one will be punish ed for taking the law into his own hands. The remarks of Governor Thom as in part follow: "I do not believe the people of this state are worse than the people of any other state. This is as civilized a com munity as any state in the union and from all of them we hear of occurrences like this, when the people have been suddenly aroused to some such terrible act, w-hen some such awful horrible crime as this negro's cries to heaven for ORIENT. nm n ii i m i -v t --tVs-r -n rA rO :f""U N G vengeance. For the agonized parents and whatever they have done, I have no words of blame or censure. Put our selves in their places and we can un derstand their wiid desire for vengeance. My remarks today are addressed not so much to the fact that death has been in flicted, as to the manner in which it is done. I do not, by this, mean to justify lynch law. No well regulated citizen can ever justify a departure from the law. But every state has these affairs, and we are not an exception." The governor then disclaimed any re sponsibility for the affair, saying that he understood that Sheriff Freeman had agreed to leave Pcrter in jail for eight days, and he had gone out of town so believing, only to return to meet the an nouncement that the sheriff and his prisoner were on the way to Limon. "This awful offense has been commit ted by an entire county," he continued. 'There is no way of reaching these peo ple. As Lord Chatham said once, 'You can not indict an entire nation." In Lincoln county these offenders would have to sit on the juries, indict them selves, pass on the indictments, convict themselves, and then the chief offender of all, the sheriff of the county, would have to conduct them to the penitentiary. So all we can do is to declare that we, as citizens of the same state, deplore and condemn this act of barbarity." GOOD ROADS CALL. Meeting Will Be Held at Topeka January 15. To the members of the Good Roads as sociation and other citizens of Kan sas who are in favor of good roads: There will be a meeting cf the Good Roads congress held at Topeka, Kas., at 10 a. m. on January 13, 1901, at which time a bill or bills for the improvement o- the roads in our state will be sub mitted for endorsement There will be papers read by persons of advanced ideas upon the subjects. We would like for the county commissioners, township officers an other county officers, as well as any citizen interested in the matter, to be present and take part in the meet ing. If you have good ideas don't leave them at home, but bring them along. If you can't come yourself, send them This organization is not a eloe cor poration, but a voluntary association in which a number of citizens are devoting their time to perfect the laws and to mold public opinion so as to obtain the best results with the least expenditure of money in the direction of good roads. We ask the co-operation of the news papers and the public and private citi zens to help us in thi3 movement. The commercial clubs of the cities and towns of the state are cordially invited to participate in our meeting, as it is the intention to make this one of the most attractive gatherings that has been held in this state. In fact, it is a non-partisan organization for the benefit of all the people, by the people and for the people of our state. Come and help make it so. If you can not come, write out your views and send them in, and they shall have due consideration but come if you can. JOHN K. WRIGHT. President. ROBERT STONE, Secretary. FAILS TO SECURE BRIDE. Young Woman's Grandfather With a Shotgun Keeps the Husband Away. Shelbyville, Ind., Nov.19. Armed with a writ of habeas corpus, Addison Fields, in company with Constable Crosby. went to the home of Benjamin Dake this af ternoon to secure Mr. Fields' young wife, who is being held by Dake, her grand father. The husband and officer were forbidden entrance to the premises at the point of a shotgun and no amount of persuasion would induce Dake to re lease the young bride, who married without his consent and who. he says, shall leave his home only over his dead body.

TICT0R1 FOR "1IAILK0ADS. Alleged Sc&Ipers' Agent Lroses Suit Against Passenger Mea Fails to Show That He Owned a Ticket Left at Central Agency Official Will Now Prefer Serious Charges Against Man Many Ruses Employed by Brokers to Secure Transportation. The scJpers and their agents are u ing all ss.rts of schemes to Ret the best of the railroads which issued provisional rebate excursion tickets during the late Grand Army of the Republic Encamp ment. Yesterday Benjamin Xewwitter, sail to be an employe of the scalpers, tiad Commissioner Donald, H. Koehler, F. E. Brodhe'.t and J. E. Jenkins of the Cen tral Passenger Association arretted ami brought into court on a charge of with holding a ticket belnine' to him. val ued at $17. Newwitter alleges he secur ed the ticket in Washington. D. C, Aug ust 26, at the ofTice of the C. O. Rail road, and on arriving here September 1 deposited it with the association agenrv, 2Z& Clark street. He sa.i i he paid 50 cents for the extension of the ticket. CASE IS DISMISSED. On the witness stand Newwitter was unable to tell in what part of Washing ton -the C. O.'s office is located anfl failed to describe the station at which he took the train for this city. Attorney Coulter, for the defendants, offered a ticket in evidence, bearing the name of Newwitter, and apparently in the sajre handwriting as the dispute! ticket. This was sold in Pittsburg:, but Newwitter declared positively that the signature was not his and that he di 1 not dispc.sit the ticket for extension and validation. After examining both tick ets closely. Justice Martin became satis fied that the signatures were identical and dismissed the case. Commissioner Donald will swear out a warrant charg ing Newwitter with perjury and for gery. Mr. Koehler of the Central Pas.ene-er Association yesterday discussed the many ruses employed by ticket brokers in try in? to gt hold of Grand Army of the Republic tickets. He said that in many cases handsome young women were employed, and frequently members of the broker's family came to the office of the association to sret tickets, which were sol i to the brokers for a. small con sideration by the orierinal depositor. BROKERS EMPLOY AGENTS. Some of the brokers bad agents In New York, Washington. Pittsburtr and other Iarire cities. Mr.Koehler said. They snaaowei men wno purchased excursion tickets in those cities, ani after thy had left the city ticket otflces in thos- places neeotiated for the purchase of the ncKei. -me original purchaser of the ticket entered into a contract with the asrent f the scalrers tr deposit it for extension at the Central association of Chicago and at some future date redeem it and then give it to the scalper. m some cases brokers themselves went to the office of the passenger asso ciation after having purchased a certain ticket and tried to redeem it. In order to tret the ticket the signature of the original depositor must be duplicated, else the officers of the association will know that the person who makes appli cation was not the depositor. Therefore, it was necessary for the brokers or their agents to forge the signatures of the de positor in order to get the ticket. The passenger association will arrest New witter on that charge. Hundreds of per sons who applied for certain tickets at the association's office were forced to go away without them because the two airaaturea on the tioket did not corres pond.

The date for the reunion of defeated presidential candidates of 1900 has not yet been announced. Wharton Barker got but 47 votes for president in his home city, Philadelphia, running behind every other candidate In the field. In one township in North Takota in habited by Mennonites the vote on presi dent stood: McKirdey, 22; Bryan, Iebs, 16. Clark of Montana has an extra sen. atorship at his disposal. He now has an, opportunity to get back some of his money. It will take a long time for England to get out of the South African mines what she is spending to obtain posses sion of them. The people of the United States have not only rejected the Populist party, but the Populist principles as well, although offered in the gui?o of "Democracy. A congress composed of delegates from the various political parties, which would decide upon what was settled by the recent election might be a good thing. The Pittsburg Chronicle-Telegraph perpetrates the following ghastly pun: If the emporor of Russia dies from ty phoid fever, he will have to be put Into czarcophagus." There is some complaint about high jirices, but not nearly so much as there always is during an era of low prices. High prices and good times always go hand in hand. Low- rrices and hard times seem to be inseparable. St. Louis Star: During 1399 the Eng lish public di posited with the Briti&h postoffice savings bank 39,000.000 pounds and drew out 35,000.000 pounds, thus l aving 4.000.000 pounds ($20,000,000) to its credit. It would seem that a poptal ravings bank system would be a good thing In the interest of the people of the United States. The cost of the Boer war to date is rumrrej up by the Pittsburg Dispatch as follows: "The British treasury estimate Is that another oO.OOO.OoO pounds cter ling must be voted to finish the Boer war. Not less than 30,000,000 pounds l',as already been voted, which will make the total about 2,000 pounds for -ach Boer in the field during the con llict. This is the most expensive war making in history and the Boers may well feel they have made good every promise they made before beginning the fight. The $10,000 per man en gaged, on their side, Is not the heav iest cost to Great Britain. for the British casualties have exceeded one man for each of the 40,000 in, the Boer armies." TOO MANY ELECTIONS. From the Cincinnati Commercial Tribune. This country suffers from a corroding evil in the demoralizing frequency of elections. We have city, state and na tional elections, not to speak at all of primaries and conventions, each suc ceeding the other with such rapidity as to keep the citizen who follows politics with any interest in a constant tension. No sooner, in fact, has one campaign terminated than another begins, and the voter has little, if any, release from the anxiety involved in making choice of candidates for office. This deleterious frequency of elec tions nas two deplorable results. It be Kets, on the one hand, the professional politician, and, on the other, keeps the iietter elements of citizenship too often out of politics. The professional poli tician is to be found, unfortunately, in every town, city and county of the Uni ted States. He lives well, his purse is ever plethoric, but frequently he does nothing useful of which any one is jiware for a livelihood, unless, per chance, the proprietorship of a saloon r gambling resort may be so termed. He is in evidence at primaries, still more fu In conventions, and plays the part of a czar in getting out the vote to the iKiliS. The professional politician is a good man to stand in with. His fellow citi zens having favors to ask from boards of aldermen and other such bodies cul tivate his good will. Part of his duty is to "rix" these boards. He does it for a consideration in votes, or money, or both. Few care to quarrel with him. He can get even with opponents by de Tiying their properties just share of benefits from public improvements and In various other ways. His Influence goes sometimes as far as courts of Jus tice. "He is. in fact, a power for evil and a canker on the body politic. There is but one way under present conditions to get rid of the professional politician or boss, and that is by the in tervention of every sound element of citizenship in ali elections. The boss does his best, by the nastiness he injects into our politics, to keep these healthful elements out of the arena. He knows that if they take interest in political contests his influence vanishes, his use fulness disappears. Let a truly re spectable candidate for office be men tioned and he opens at once a campaign of mud slinging which will keep other good citiens effectively out of the tur moil of politics. He surrounds himself with representatives of fraud, slander, lawlessness and vice, and. by means of these, often retains a hold for years of a ward, a town, city or county. To rid the country of this intolerable evil and to secure the participation of il good, citizens In elections, there should be fewer of the latter. A presi dential election once in six or seven years, restricting the successful candi date to one terra only, were appeal frequently enough to popular suffrage for that high office. Congressional elec tions should be held not oftener than four, and city, county and borough or town elections not more frequently than every three years. Clean politics cer tainly demands some change in this di rection. GLOBE SIGHTS. From the Atchison Globe. Everyone in love has a right to change his or her mind. An Atchison woman who bosses her church is called "Mother Eddy" by the members. It is said that down at the bottom of his heart, every citizen of a small city longs to be mayor. Do you treat your friend3 worse than you treat your enemies? It is alleged that a great many do. Most colored people never feel hard up unless there is a minstrel show in town, and they are shy the price of a ticket. Don't get the notion In helping the poor that you can do more with a "cheerful word" than you can with a. dollar. When a man Is having a particularly hard time, his kin like to hunt him up, and tell him to try and be "patient a little longer." An Atchison man has broken another record: he says he can lie oftener, and get caught at it, than any other man in the world. A man who can digest farm sausage and buckwheat cakes,needn't envy John V. Rockefeller, who is nothing but an old, dyspeptic millionaire. It has Just leaked, cut that when Day sey Mayme Appleton was away on a vis it recently, she told her new friends that her father was the wealthiest man in Atchison. If anything for dinner is burned, there Is always the same excuse: company came, and caused the woman to forget what she had in the oven. In a town the size of Atchison, where so many women do their own work, the women who go visiting at meal times should be arrest ed. POINTED PARAGEAPHS. From the Chicago News. Agreeable adviceis seldom useful ad vice. The fisherman's wealth depends on, his net profits. The world is like piano full of sharps and flats. If a musician utters false notes tie la a counterfeiter. PlntOTlif Inun te a H i tt u r l nothing but soup is served. No man Is truly wise who denies that he ever made a fool of himself. Success is the one crime some people refuse to forgive in their friends. Some men are always feeling for the handle that will enable them to pump you. But few people have enough confi dence in themselves to believe all they say. Toung ladies should set good exam ples if they want young men to follow them. If you are not satisfied with your lot put it in the hands of a real estate dealer. The Inexperienced maid wants to be a man's first love.but the wise widow pre- rers to be ins last. Fully two-third3 of a woman's trou bles result from reasoning with her Heart instead or her head. Mother Eva may have invented curi osity, but she is the only woman on rec ord who never turned around to eee what the other woman had on. "A wise guy" once said: "Every fail ure is a step toward success." This may explain why the oftener some men fail the richer they become. QUAEEB REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. It isn't always safe to bank on what a bank teller tells you. Lots of farmers can raise ahnu evrv- thlng except money. The fellow Who can't hrtrrnm nnhi'no- else can usually borrow trouble. It's queer how moths can transform a smoking jacket into an eaten jacket. The mosquito, the football player and the surgeon are all out for blood. The salesman for a broom manufac turer should be armed with sweeping arguments. Hoax "I understand liquor is exclud ed from your club." Joax "Not exact ly excluded, but It's barred." The nolIceTnan who ia mmnQlio pa trol a cemetery must expect to have ref- ciciiceB iu aeaa oeats curled at him. Harduppe "I always do my hardest work before breakfest." Borrowell "What's that?" Harduppe "Getting it" Blobbs "Bjones used to be very pro fane, but he doesn't seem to swear any more." Slobbs "No; tie's given up golf and joined church." Wigwag "What excuse do you usual ly give your wife when you stav out late?" Rotrox "Oh, a diamond ring or a sealskin coat, or something like that." "When a girl wishes to leave the world behind her," says the Manayunk Philosopher, "she becomes a nun. All a man has to do is to learn to play ciiess." Laugh and the world laughs with you: Weep, and in vain you grieve: For it's ten to one that just for fun The world laughs in its sleeve. LAFE PENCE RETURNS. Comes Sown From Cape Nome on the Oregon. Seattle, Wash., Nov. 19. The steamer Oregon has arrived from Nome with 145 passengers and J300.000 in treasure. The Oregiwi was compelled on account of a severe stcrm just prior to her deisarture to put to sea, leaving 75 of her booked passengers on the beach. Arrangements were made to bring them down on the Centennial, which was to leave Nome a day or two later. The loss of the schooner Rube L. Richardson, on No vember 2 on a reef below Sinrock City, is reported by the Oregon's officers. The crew were saved. Among the Oregon's passengers were Charles D. Lane, the California million air", ex-Congressman Pence of Colo rado, and, several well known Seattle men. IN HOTEL CORRIDORS. "Talking about idiotic election bets," said a gentleman at the Fifth Avenue ho tel, "reminds ma that I saw a man pay ing one of the most absurd bets that was made this election. I was in a little town In Missouri and the merchant to whom I was conversing asked me if I would not walk up to the end of the street with him and see the champion Idiot of the county pay an election bet. The man the merchant had called an idiot was an en thusiastic supporter of Bryan and he had made a bet with another inspired Idiot which was to the effect that the man who lost would roll a peanut up a hill with his nose. The hill was at the end of the street and the distance the peanut was to be rolled was about a block. The men were both supposed to be sensible business men, and prior to the bet had never evinced the slightest trace of imbecility, but the election had gone to their brains and they made the bet. In order to clinch the bet they had put up $100 each, ar.d the loser could either push the pea nut with his proboscis or forfeit the money. The town was out to see the man display his assininity and they appeared to enjoy the sport. There is no longer any doubt that we should have fewer elec tions when it i.s so evident that the ex citement is effecting the brains of so many of our people. Every place I go 1 find addle-pated men who have made bets which they consider either smart or hum orous. The man who can not shave for lour years is again off the reservation and is making sick the hearts of the bar bers. By the way, the barbers have got a way of making business out of election bets. They bet fifty shaves and five hnir cuts against the same number at double price that a certain party will win and then turn around and make the same bet with the winner reversed. In this manner they get about ten bets on each side, so that it does not matter to them which side wins: they are bound to have that much increased business. To get back to the men who make foolish bets: I have come across but one man who made the old time bet of whitewashing a ton of coal. He lived in Macon, Mo., and was paying his bet on one of the principal streets, watched by a crowd of boys. I have heard of the jays who live in almost every town and made the wheel barrow bet. In one place 1 heard of a novelty in this line: The men had made the bet on the basis of 5 to 1: that is, the man who lost wheeled the other man five blocks and then the winner would wheel the loser one block. The men who are compelled to wear "kick me" signs from one end of the town to the other are not so much in evidence. That chestnut has been cast aside for more recent and more foolish bets." "I noticed in a Chicago paper a few days ago that an old friend of mine, G-eorge French, had made a lot of money in a real estate deal." said one of a group in the Copeland lobby. "French is not exactly his name, but it will answer the purpose for this story. "When we were bo$o together back in Indiana he was considered the worst boy in the town and, as is usual in such cases, all the good people predicted that he would eventually find a home in the peniten tiary; and. as is also usual, he did just that which they had predicted he would not do: he became a successful business man. honest and respected. To show that he had a schemer's head I will tell you of one of the trips that he made when he ran away from home for a change. George and another boy were In Fort Smith in the boom days on the runaway trip, and they were running short on money. They had a few dollars left, but did not know how they would get more when that was spent. They thought over the matter and finally agreed upon a plan to raise money without working. They went to a second-hand dealer and pur chased a fiddle. Then George took the fiddle and went into a restaurant where he got his supper. He left the fiddle with the proprietor telling him that he would call for it the next day. Shortly after he had gone his chum went to the res taurant and. after eating, got into con versation with the proprietor. He casu ally asked to see the fiddle and had no sooner opened the case than he became greatly excited. He told the restaurant man that the fiddle had belonged to his father who was a great violinist and that it had been pawned on account of lack of funds. They had tried in vain to find it and it now seemed that Providence was smiling on him. because he hsd discov ered the long-lost treasure. The chum was a very impressive young man who wore long hair and was fluent. He went into raptures over the fiddle, but did not over-do his part. He offered the restaur ant keeper $10 for the instrument on the spot and was very much cast down when he was told that it belonged to a custo mer who had left it there. The chum raised the price of the fiddle to $25 and finally left with the understanding that he would call in a few days and get the address of the man who owned it. When French called the next day the proprietor asked him if he would sell the fiddle, and after a good deal of dickering French asrreed to let It go for $18. Of course they never went near the restaurant again anil I suppose the fellow still has the $2 fiddle for which he paid $1S." They were talkins: of experiences with 'snakes when one of the men said: "I have lived both in the west and in the south and have seen a good deal of creep ing and crawling reptiles and I am thor oughly convinced that the black snake has more sense than all the other rep tiles combined. A black snake is not vi cious ar.d its bite is not poisonous at least no one has ever been known to die from its bite. It is easily domesticated and make a very valuable pet, as It will drive away other snakes and will keep the premises clear of mice and rats. I was ranching out in Colorado a few years ago, and the man who sold me the ranch also sold me a domesticated black snake which had lived on the ranch five or six years. The snake did not take to the change very readily, but in time he became very fond of me and would come when I would give a peculiar whis tle, which his former owner had taught me. The snake was a monster, being fully seven feet long. He slept in the house in tlje winter time in a box that was heavily padded and which was kept as comfortable as possible. In the sum mer he slept in one of the barns in order to guard the horses. It was the onlv snake that I have ever seen that would drink milk and I don't believe that the cat ever lived that was as fond of fresh milk as was that snake. It would hang around the cows when they were being milked and would hiss and run between the men's legs until a quantity of milk was poured into a pan for it to drink. It would drink a quart of milk both mornlnsr and evening. To show how Intelligent the snake was and to prove that it knew where the milk came from it is but neces sary to relate a little incident. One even ing the men were late and the cows hud not been driven In from the pasture. I was coming from town and at a distance saw the cows walk out of the pasture Kate and go towards the lot near the house where they were milked. I did not see any of the men and could not surmise how the cows had got the bars down, but as I got closer I saw that the black snake was following them to the lot. He had let the bars down and was driving the cows in to be milked as he was get ting impatient for his milk. I followed and watched his movements. When a cow would lag behind the rest the snake would run beside her and coiling with hi head down would strike her with his tail. The blow was hard, for It sounded just like a whip. After that we let the snake bring in the cows everv night. He learned to put up and take down the bars and could do It with his strong coils as easily as a man could. In putting the bars up he would crawl on the fence and coll around the top rail: then he would reach down and coil around the bar. He would then draw the bar up and p Jn llace- The poor fellow was killed by one of the cows accidentally stepping on him. and I would rather have lost the best horse on the ranch GOLD DEPOSITS IN ITALY.

This territory was anciently covered by the waters of the Adda river, which it is now supposed deposited auriferous sands along its banks and in its bed. All the population is busily excavat ing. Large quantities of mica are found mixed with the gold. TIES BRIDE TO BEDPOST. Girl's Grandfather Drives Her Hus band Away With a Shotgun. Shelbyville. led., Nov. 19. Recently Benjamin Dake, residing in the north ern part of this county.forbid his grand daughter. Miss Carrie Dake, from keep ing company with Addison Fields, a young man of the community, since which time they have been meeting se cretly at the homes of neighbors. Out of respect for her prandparents the girl refused to elope, but last night agreed that if her lover would procure the li cense and a magistrate on the morrow she would marry him, she to be in wait ing when he and the magistrate appear ed. Field retired with a happy heart last night ,and this morning procured the license and the services of 'Squire Maze of Fairland and started' for the Dake home. Miss Dake saw them coming.and.Ieav ing the house ostensibly to empty a dispan, met the pair at the front gate of her home and was made the wife of Addison Fields, who informed her that he would return for her shortly, or after taking the 'squire home. He soon1 re turned, but, instead of being met by his bride, he was confronted by Benjamin Dake, who at the muzzle of a shotgun made the young man crawl back in his buggy and leave, while in the house, tied to a bedpost, was the bride of but a few hours. Fields came to this city, consulted a lawyer, and will resort to habeas corpus proceedings to secure his wife, over whom the grandfather stands guard and threatens to kill the first person who at tempts to take her from his home. The young woman Is the belle of the neigh borhood, and inherited a nice fortune through the death of her father, she be ing of legal age. TOWN IS SUED bFaCTORS. Wisconsin Theatrical Company Se sents a Quarantine Measure. Portage, Wis., Nov. 19. M. G. Dillen- baek, who travels through the state ar ranging home talent plays under the au spices of home benevolent or religious societies, with casts composed of home talent, has retained counsel and will bring suit against the village board of Fardeeville for its refusal to permit him to appear in the public hall at that place with a cast composed of Portage talent. The Fardeeville board claimed to have understood that there were more than fifty cases of diphtheria in Portage, and on that account refused to allow the people from Portage to appear in the village. Manager Dillenback claims to have assured the authorities that there was no truth in the repoit. SEAT SELLS AT 46,500. New York, Nov. 19. In sympathy with the tremendous boom which has animated the stock market since the success of the Republican national ticket at the polls, the price of New Tork stock exchange memberships has risen to a figure never before attained. A seat has been sold for $46,500, and so great was the feeling of confidence in future good business on the exchange that a bid of $47,500, a figure unprecedented, was made later for another seat. It has not yet been taken. Raiding Apaches. El Paso, Texas, Nov. 19. Dispatches received by the officials in Juarez, Mex ico, from Casas Grandes, state that a band of raiding Apaches from San Car los reservation. Arizona, assaulted the town of Pecheco, Mexico, sixty miles from Casas Grandes, yesterday. In a fight which followed twelve Indians were killed and six Mormons wounded. Pecheco is a Mormon settlement, and having no telegraphic communication with the outside world, the details of the fight are lacking. Troops have been forwarded from Casas Grandes and Juarea to pursue the Apaches. FINEST NEW TORK PULPIT. From the New Tork Herald. All Angels' Episcopal church. West End avenue and Eighty-first street has just acquired what is described a the finest pulpit in America, It is the work of Karl Bitter, and was given to the church by Mrs. Sarah Cornell in mem ory of her husband and two sons. The style of the pulpit is Italian renaissance, changed slightly to conform with the In terior of the church. Standing against a column, the pillar has far ita foundation a representation of Moses with the tablets of law, and corbels presenting the heads of the prophets, intended to symbolize that tha gospel preached from the pulpit is based upon the law and the prophets. A choir rail, which leads up to the pulpit rail and surrounds the pulpit itself, is decorated witft a procession of angela. Above the pulpit Is a canopy of oak, surmounted by art angelic figure holding a trumpet, and forming an apotheosis of what is begun below in the procession. There has also Just been used for the first time in the same church an altar and reredos, erected by members of the Hoffman family in memory of the most liberal patron of All Angels' church, the late Rev. Dr. Charles F. Hoffman. The altar ia surmounted by a canopy of brass, perhaps the only one of the kind in this country, although such are com mon in northern Italy. The new rec tory of the parish, costing $30,000, ia al most completed. Heavy Gales Continue. London, Nov. 19. Heavy gales contin ue to sweep over the channel. The con tinental mail boats report having en countered terrific seas and there have been a number of mishaps. The small Bremen steamer Duisburg which was disabled off Folkestone yesterday has been towed into the Thames. That is dyspepsia. It makes life miserable. Its sufferers eat not because they want to but simply because they MUST. They complain of a bad taste in the mouth, a tenderness at the pit of the stomach, a feeling of puffy fulness, headache, heartburn and what not. Hood s Sarsaparllla cured Joseph F. Line, Flanagan. Ky., who writes: I was troubled with dyspepsia for a number of year and took medicine that did me no good. I was advised bv frieads to try Hood's Sarsaparilla which I did and it put mT bowels in perfect condition, gave no strength and energy and made me feel like a new person." Promises to cure and keeps the prom ise. Beware of substitutes. Buy Hood's and only Hood's. OUT AT LAST. Figures of Water Works Engi neers Made Public. The Estimates Are Over $200, .000 Apart. HOW TIIEY DIFFER. Water Works Man's Figures on "Going Value." Estimates Are $468,000 and $698,000 Respectiyely. The water committee of the city council met this afternoon and compared the fig ures submitted by Kngineer Follet, em ployed by the city, and Engineer Cole, employed by the water company. The fig ures show that the engineers agreed upon the structural value of the plant, but that they disagreed upon every other point. The figures were as follows: Follett's fig. Cole fig. Structural value 1!U, 107.60 J491.1W.60 Depreciation 9u.032.47 11.696.S0 Present value 401,075.13 479,411. 3 J Going value 67.275.00 218,771. S3 Actual present value... 40S.3S0.13 69S.183.13 Useless property Harrison street station. J 55.000.00 55,000 00 Depreciation 27,000.00 It will be seen from the figures that the engineers did not agree upon the depre ciation nor upon the going value. The going value is a question that has been settled In court many times and is always to be taken into consideration In questions of this kind. It represents the value' of the establishment of the plant. For instance: The plant as now establish ed Is making say $20,000 a year for the company. If the city would commence the construction of a plant it would lose the income of the present plant for at least two years fully and for seven years partiallyso the water company says. The committee will report the figures as received to the council and will recom mend no action, but the entire committee is in favor of the city building a plant at once, as the difference between the esti mates is so great that it will be useless to appoint a third engineer, as waa sug gested. The report of Engineer Follett differs but slightly from the estimate of Engl, neers Barnes and Hinckley and can not be far from correct, while Mr. Cole's esti mate is almost $250,000 more. SEIZURE OF DIAMONDS. Uncut Stones Found in a Peoria Worn -an'a Trunks by Customs Officers. New Tork, Nov. 19. Noticeable among the passengers aboard the American liner New York from Southampton and Cherbourg, was a woman apparently about 35 years old, who wore a gray rainy day skirt and a sealskin sacque. She had the air of one who knew how to take care of herself, and a nonchal ance that even the inspectors who seized two of her trunks at the pier were un able to ruffle. She occupied stateroom 365, and, according to the passenger list, she is "Aliss M. Dorrance." It is said that she was escorted by a dentist, who appears on the passenger list as Dr. Franklin D. Kelly. Each was said to be from Peoria. The three trunks of Miss Dorrance were passed by the customs inspectors of Deputy Surveyor Cowling's staff and chalked. Then there was a stir among the inspectors. A young man, who refused to give his name, but who said he represented Collected Bidwell, went to Mr. Dowling and asked that a re-examination of the trunks should be made. The young man, assisted by three special men, who were strangers to Mr. Dowling and his staff, went through Miss Dorrance's trunks carefully and found a lot of unset diamonds and a smaller quantity of stones that were set. One of the latter was a stud attached to a fragment of a dress shirt bosom, which had apparently been cut out with a penknife. The collector's young man laid the diamonds out on the top of one of the trunks and ordered that the young wo man should be carefully searched by a woman inspector. She was taken into the pier superintendent's room. The dentist. It is said, was subjected to a similar search. It was said that the col lector's office had been apprised of the coming of the youngwoman and inform ed that she would have a quantity of small gems concealed in her teeth. The private examination showed that all the diamonds had been put In the trunks of Miss Dorrance. Her coolness never left her while the inspectors were over hauling her dresses and things, and she did not lose self-possession when they came upon the gems. She made one re mark which somewhat puzzled the in spectors. It was Just after they found the diamonds, and waa: "I'm some thing of a Republican myself." The estimate of the young man who superintended the Job of discovery Is that the diamonds are worth about $5,000. A bill of sale, indicating that most of them had been bought in Paris, was found in one of the trunks. Nothing be longing to Dentist Kelly was Beized ex cept a big gold tooth, which, it is said, he intends to use for advertising pur poses. Miss Dorrance's two trunks were sent to the public stores and she was per mitted to leave the pier with Dr. Kelly. She told a reporter who asked for her name that she was "Miss Brown" and that she was going to the Fifth Avenue hotel. She was not registered there either as Miss Brown or Miss Dorrance. It is not unlikely that the inspectors who passed the trunks will be asked to explain why they did not find the dia monds. Apparently no attempt had been made to conceal them in the trunks. Most of them were done up in small caskets in a little bag. HOW MUCH TO ASK FOR. The Question to Be Determined by the Good Roads Convention. Chicago, Nov. 19. Charles Truax, of the National Business Men's league, wu chosen temporary chairman of the Good Roads convention. About 150 delegates were present when the convention was called to order. Permanent organiza tion was effected and the various stand ing committees of the association ap pointed. It is stated by the leaders of the good roads movement that it is now practically assured that congress will make a large appropriation for the im provement of the highways of the coun try, and one cf the main objects of the convention will be to decide on the sum to be asked from congress and the des ignation of the main points of expendi ture. Unconscious on Railroad Track. Clarence Coleman, night agent at the Santa Fe depot in North Topeka. wa3 found unconscious lying across the rail road tracks in the Santa Fe shop yard, between 7 and 8 o'clock Sunday morn ing. The young man had left hi3 post of duty an hour before to go home. He was revived at the Topeka depot and sent to the Santa Fe hospital. It is thought he suffered an attack of heart disease. FROM A DIZZY HEIGHT. Chicago Man Drops Into a Gutter and Remains There 19 Hours. Chicago, Nov. 19. Temporary Insanity brought on by the fear of falling from a dizzy height is believed to have caused A. T. McKenzie of 9348 Cloud avenue to fall from the railing on top of the Ma sonic temple. Had the insanity lasted it would have urged him to hurl himself to the walk more than 300 feet below. But it did not. The fear which first caused McKenzie to start his mad flight was overcome by the fear of the death that awaited him. This brought back his true state of mind, and, throwing his feet in front of him, he caught on a gutter 325 feet above the street. There he remain ed until rescued yesterday morning. Dr. S. T. Richman, who is attending McKenzie, i3 of the opinion that the in sanity theory is the correct one. He says that McKenzie was not under the influ ence of liquor or of any drug as far as he could learn and that as great heights often affected persons with spells of diz ziness, he could assign no other reason for his patient's action. McKenzie also says he can not etand very high and look down. For more than 19 hours McKenzie lay In a roof gutter with but four inches of coping separating him from death. His continuance in this life is due to the fact that he yet had strength enough to pick up a small lath, attach a piece of paper to it, and wave it until the ten ants of an opposite store building saw the signal of distress. They notified De tective Henry Glaser of the Temple, who, with other officials, went to the roof and rescued McKenzie. To do so, it was necessary for Glaser to climb down the roof, tie a rope around the man's body, and pull him up to a place of safety. Had a few hours more passed McKen zie would have frozen to death. As It ia now his feet are rendered useless and numb by the exposure, and Dr. S. T. Richman of 6709 Wentworth avenue says that amputation may be necessary. Otherwise he is resting easly at the home of his brother, E. McKenzie, at 6751 Wentworth avenue. Just how it all happened McKenzie can not say, for the fall so filled his mind with vagaries that a clear under standing is difficult to recall. However, he remembers this much that he went up on the roof about 3 o'clock to get a good view of the city, and being of a curious turn of mind climbed over the fence that is there for the express pur pose of protection. He then became diz zy, then fell. Before his eyes passed visions of this life he was fast leaving, mingled with a half unconscious reck oning of what he was plunging into. Then all was dark as oblivion. And so It remained until yesterday morning. And all the time McKenzie was between two deaths, by freezing, or a crushng out of life on the pavement 325 feet below. A little longer wait would have brought the one; a slight move the other. Today McKenzie Is dazed. He seems to be in a semi-conscious state and was unable to give any account of his exper ience. DEAD IN BED. Frank Higgins' Corpse Found In His Lonely House. Frank Higgins, who lives a mile and a half southwest of Baughman's ice house, was found dead In his bed this morn ing. Higgina was about 45 years of age and lived alone. He hr-.d not been seen for a week and his friends became suspi cious this morning and Charles Redd and a brother of Higglns went to the house. The doors were locked. The door was broken open.. Higgins was not found on the first floor. The searchers raised a trap door leading to the sec ond story of the house and found Hig gins dead on his pallet on the floor. A few days before Higgins was missed he complained of heart trouble, and It is supposed that was the cause of his death. The coroner will make an in vestigation. Higgins was a bachelor and lived the life of a hermit. NISSLEY'S NEWSBOYS. They Are Preparing For Thanksgiving Feast Annual The newsboys are now anxiously awaiting Thanksgiving. For on Thanks giving they will sit down to the annual feast wheh is prepared for them by J. E. Nissley. Before the dinner and beginning at 10:45, a programme In the nature of an entertainment consisting of music and speaking will be given for them at the Auditorium. Congressman Charles Cur tis will speak to them and other features of interest which have not yet been ar ranged for will be given. An admission of ten cents will be charged to every one except newsboys. To the newsboy who sells the largest number of tickets Mr. Nissley will give a suit of clothes, an overcoat, and shoes. To all others who sell 20 or more will be given a suit of clothes. Last year Mr. Nissley gave each of the newsboys a suit outright. But this year he thought It would be wise to let them earn it so as to gve them a feeling of independ ence. Last year Mr.Nissley offered the news boy who had the largest bank account a prize of $25. As a result the newsboys- of the city have banked over $000 during the past year and quite an exhibition of rivalry has been manifested in the contest. To all the boys who have saved at least ten cents per week, Mr.Nissley will give them five cents for each week. Mr. Nissley will be out of the city for the greater part of the coming week but the newsboys may secure the tickets from Robert McCabe in the office of the commissioner of elections. The boys will begin their work of selling the tickets at once and there will be a contest for the overcoat and shoes which go with the suit of clothes to the one who sells the highest number of tickets. Mr. Nissley has for a long time kept up an organization of newsboys In this city and he has come to be known us the "Newsboys' Friend." He is proba bly as popular with the newsboys of this city as is Col. Hoagland with the news boys of the country. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. George W.

It Will Be Among the First Measures to Come Before Congress New Tork, Nov. 19. One of the first or ders to be considered when congress con venes, says a Tribune dispatch from Washington, will be the oleomargarine bill, reported to the house from the com mittee on agriculture by Mr. Henry of Connecticut. It was introduced by Mr. George Grout, of Vermont, in December, ISSia. It provides that all articles known as oleomargarine, buttering, imitation but ter, or imitation cheese or a.ny substance In the semblance of butter or cheese not the usual product of the diary and not made exclusively of pure and unadulter ated milk or cream, transported into anv state or territory, and remaining therein for use, consumption, sale or storage therein, shall, upon the arrival within the limits of such state or territory, be subject to the operation and effect of the laws of such state or territorv enacted in the exercise of its police powers, to the same extent and in the same manner a3 though such articles or substances had been produced in such state or territorv, and shall not be exempt therefrom by reason of being introduced therein in orig inal packages or otherwise. There Is a provision "that nothing In this act shall be construed to permit any state to forbid the manufacture or snle of oleomargarine in a separate and dis tinct form and in such manner as will advise the consumer of its real character, free from coloration or Ingredient that causes it to look like butter." In the second section it is provided that the tax upon oleomargarine as prescribed in section S of the act of August 2. liS. shall be one-fourth of one cent a pound w fieri me same is not colored, out when colored in imitation of butter the tax to oe paia Dy the manutacturer shall be 10 cents a pound, to be levied and collected in accordance with the provisions of said act. The committee in their report that that toe people nave ample cause lor alarm at the tremendous illegal growth of the oleomargarine traffic in this emmtrv in the last- few years, which now appears to nave reacnea proportions Devond the power of the states to successfully regu late or control, and the nresenf federal laws are apparently altogether inadequate tor me emergency. The members of the committee accord ingly recommend the Grout bill, as offer ing the best practical solution of the dif ficulty. This subject has attracted attention for a good many years, the dairy interests contending that the act of ls.v did not go far enough, and the oleomargarine manu facturers and dealers, that it afforded suf ficient protection. LI KE OUR WHISKY. .Germans Are Becoming: Extensive Purchasers of "Booze." New Tork, Nov. 19. A special to the World from Washington says: Germany is rapidly becoming a na tion of whisky drinkers, according to the report of Commissioner of Internal Rev enue Wilson. More distilled spirits are exported from this country to Germany than to any other foreign country. The Germans, apparently, are partial to Bourbon whisky, it being preferred to rye. For the year ending June 30, 1900. 411,489 gallons of Bourbon and 137,573 gallons of rye whisky were sent to the German empire. Africa buys more rum from the Uni ted States and leads the list in the ex portation of that article, having been supplied with 3S7.769 gallons. England ranks next in the consumption of Amer ican rum, with S03.534 gallons. Very little whisky distilled in the Uni ted States is sent to England. The re port shows that the subjects of the queen bought only 7s7 gallons of Bourbon and 2.822 of rye. The only countries which did not buy any American whisky were Japan, Spain and Venezuela. The Philippine islands are beginning to use the American product, as 11.264 gallons of Bourbon and 3.822 gallons of rye were shipped there during the last fiscal year, Japan, Canada, Central America.Mex Ico and China were the largest users of alcohol. OFFICERS PROTEST. Claim Frequent Changes in Naval Circles Impair Service. New Tork, Nov. 19. According to a special dispatch from Washington to the Herald, strong protests have been made to the navy department by the commanders in chief of American squad rons agairst frequent changes in offi cers an-J crews which have occurred 4n vessels under their command. Rear Admiral P.emey, commanding the Asiatic station, declares that "frequent changes of officers and crews have mili tated against the efficiency of the fleet to a serious extent, but every effort is now made to reduce these to tha mini mum of necessity." Rear Admiral Farquhar, commander-in-chief of :fe North Atlantic station, reports that "it Is painfully evident that frequent changes in the roster of both officers and crews of cruising vessels tends to lower their efficiency and n orale. In view of the deficiencv in the rurr.bera of commissioned officers and j the frequent changes made necessary j thereby, it is especially desirable that I at least- the chief ano firt plnu rtrv officers should be detailed for and Te main on board of the same ship for a full cruise whenever such cart be done." It has been decided that Rear Admiral Kautz shall remain in command of the Pacific squadron until he retires, In Feb ruary. When he hauls down hia flag Rear Admiral Casey will assume com mand. KITCHENER'S METHODS. Uncle Sam to Fight Filipinos Like English Do Boers. New Tork, Nov. 19. Forbearance has ceased to be a military virtue in the Philippines, according to news that comes from the war department. So says a Washington dispatch to the Her ald. Lord Kitchener's plan, of operations in South Africa, harsh though it appears to be. appeals to officials ot the war de partment, and during the coming cam paign in the Philippines no mercy is to be extended to those in active rebellion or who give aid and comfort to the in surgents. The administration, according to a high official, has become weary cf the long drawn out war. It has been con ciliatory in dealing with the insurgents, and thtf efforts to accomplish peace by this means have met with contempt. It is now r.' .cs,-1 to give them a taate of real war, end. though the innocent may suffer, it ;s only by this means, it is believed that the guilty can be reached. When Secretary Root returns to Wash ington final instructions will be cabled to Major General MacArthur relative to the operations to be conducted. There is reason to believe that General MacArthur contemplates devoting his principal attention at first to the north ern part of Luion. Aguinaldo is believed to be in the mountains of Benguet.

"filke5 Thompson's Resort Yields Rich Fruit. Twenty Men Caught at Gambling Tables. the WALKED BIGHT IN. The Police Climbed Into a Hall Window. Doors of the Rooms Were Stand ing Open. The police raided two gambling houses shortly after midnight Saturday and be sides the keepers they arrested 23 men who were frequenting the places. The gambling houses raided, "Mike" Thomp son's place at 712 Kansas avenue in the rooms lately occupied by the Pop ulist state headquarters, and Harvey Wheeler's place over E18 North Kansaa avenue. The first place raided was that of Wheeler on the North side. Chief Stahl, Sergeant Donovan and Officers Boyles, Hall and Carpenter made the raid. They ti'j iiouuic fet-.-.ea as the door was not locked. The only game In progress was craps and besides the man Wheeler who was running the game, the police arrested Roy McGrew. H. Elliott and Frank Jordan, who were playing the game. They found two dol lars in cash on the table. The big haul was made at Thompson's place. The police put a ladder up to t'ni widow in the alley and walked through the hall into the room. The door was not locked and when the police walked in the games were all going full blast. The roulette table, the poker table and the crap table were doing a good busi ness when the players saw the police en ter. They at once grabbed the money that was in sight so the officers only got 30 cents in cash. The officers participating in this raid were: Chief Stahl, Officers Carpenter, Ring, Bernard and C. A. Smith. The men arrested gave their names as fol lows: Mike Thompson. Amos Atkinson, Sill Carson. J. H. Wilson, J. F. Wilson, John Clark, H. Nichols. J. J. Thomas, Ben Reeson, Frank Elmore, L. Norris, B. Brown, J. Sheldon, Frank Nelson, J. Wright, P. Jackson, William Simmons. C. Bass, C. Graves, J. Henderson, K. Watson, and G. R. Burk. All of the men arrested in the gamb ling rooms put up a cash bond of $10 each and the keepers put up a cash bond of $30. The tables and other parapher nalia captured were taken to the police station except the crap table in Thomp son's place which was too heavy to move. The police had no warrants and would have been unable to get Into the places had the doors been looked. Since the search and seizure ordinance has been declared void, the jointiats and gamb ling house keepers have become careless and have left their doors open. It is like ly that they will now drop back to their old method of having a doorkeeper who will peek through a hole to Investigate the men who desire to enter. The cases of all the men arrested have been set for this afternoon, but the trial will probably be postponed as their at torney, Otis Hungate, is busy in the dis trict court. ELECTION A FARCE. Only Republicans Appeared ai the Polls in Porto Rico. Correspondence of Associated Press. San Juan, Porto Rico. Nov. 12. The Porto Rico elections, as already an nounced by cable, passed off without the riots and disturbances predicted. There were but one or two trivial rows on elec tion day. The days following, when Re publicans were celebrating the victory, in, federal towns, there were a few clashes between parties, and a few men were killed and much ammunition was wasted. But aa a whole, Porto Rico may go down on record as conducting a re markably quiet election, considering that it was the first time her people had voted without the presence of soldiers and police at the polls. In round numbers the total vote on the island was 53,000. Only 150 federal votes were counted. The leaders of the Fed eral party had ordered their followers not to appear at the polls and the order was generally obeyed. It was an elec tion in name merely as one party only voted. As the result Mr. Federico De Getan will be sent to Washington as commissioner to congress and the thirty-five members of the house of dele- Wficn iht nair Fails accompanied by mucous patches in the month, erup tions on the 6kin, sore throat, copper colored splotches.

THE S:FT SPECIFIC CO. ATLANTA, Up rv i i i i J if i-rS gates are all Republicans. In fact the entira legislative assembly is now of one party. Each of the seven districts cf the island sends five delegates to the house. Mr. DeGetan is well known on the Is land and abroad. He is an author, scien tist, lawyer and politician. He has pub lished several novels and scientific works in French and Spanish, but his com mand of the Knglish language is limited. He is a lawyer and a graduate rf the Central university of Madrid. He was always a Republican under the mon archy. Since 12 he has takpn part in the principal happenings of his country, in Madrid as well as in Porto Rico and was one cf the four commisRioncrs sent in ISSmJ to ask Spain for autonomy. He refused to enter into the "compact" with Sagasta. The district of Ponce then elected him a deputy to the Cortes In 1S9S. General Henry appointed him sec retary of the Interior. There is a great deal of speculation as to what the federal party here in tends to do. Had they voted, the elec tion, it Is asserted, would have been very close, as a year ago they carried the island with a majority of 6.000 votes. For reasons not generally understood they refrained from voting. They claimed that they had not a fair chance to register, that the Republican party was favored in the appointment of election Judges: that they were re fused registration and that the districts were gerrymandered. Those in touch with the party leaders believe that an attempt may be made in the courts to nullify the election on the ground that it was not a legal conte-st. Now that the elections are over, the people are beginning to lok for im provements. It was announced recently that a five-story building would be built on one of the most important business streets in the city; a New urk cap italist on the ground with plans to build a 2G0-room hotel, and promoters and men with capital behind thm are knock ing at the door of the executive council asking for franchises to build electric railways, to control water power rights, and to erect docks and wharves. Only one franchise of any importance has been issued so far. The company secur ing this franchise is to build a network of electric roads through the coffa and sugar districts to the porta COMING DRAMATIC EVENTS. "Zaza" with Mabel Hall In the title role will be at the Crawford tonight in the hands of Charles Frohman's com pany. In the first act of "Zaia" one gts a glimpse of the seamy side of lite as it may be viewed in one of the lower music halls that skirt the suburbs of Paris. Yet the incidents to this act are but Inciden tal to the larger theme, and quite essen tial to the drama's higher teaching. There Is nothing In "Zaza" that can tend to pervert our Ideas of right liv ing. In fact, it has been called by one of the best litterateurs of the day. "The epitome of morality." In that It has shown us how the Tightness of human nature may b redeemed by the power of sincere love. These few words hold the key to the entire work;love Is human and love Is right, and no matter how far t one poor woman strayed from the path of rectitude. It may be through this vry love that she is to be regenerated. This savine grace is the vital thme of "Za za" as a play; and that L is not built upon a mistaken or perverted notion of moral fitness is proved from th- fact that from the first act to the last, there is not a moment when Zaza does not hold the full sympathy of her hearers; and there is not a woman who views her wrongs and sufferings with which she pays for them, whi would not. if the character were called into question, rise warmly in her defense. Bandmaster Innes Is producing on his present tour his latest composition en titled "Prince Charming." a two-step march which is said to be In the hap piest vein of this most delightful writer, j The piece Is said to be nightly received with unusual favor by the audiences at tending Innes' performances and It promises to achieve such a popularity as promises to reinstate th two step march once more Into the public favor. Innes is said to have modelled the march largely on well known "Love is King" which ha3 received the doubtful honor of being ground out or, every barrel organ in the United States. One of the chief features ot the new march is said to be a sensational trio in wrhioh the cornets and trombones f the band are seen to march down in front of the stage and perform In unison a sort of a unique duet. The piece will he heard at Innes' engagement here at the Crawford on Friday evening. Charge Gnscom Sees the Sultan. Constantinople. Nov. It The sultan received in audience Mr. Lloyd Gris"om.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJENAI MONDAY EVENING, NOVEMBER 19, 1900. 6 ROGER'S COMING Tending Arrival of Oom Paul at Marseilles Is Attracting Much Attention Throughout Europe. WELL KNOWN PEOPLE Bjr the Hundreds Are Gather ing to Meet Him. Transraal President Will the Talking Hereafter. Do New York, Nov. 19. Dr. W. J. Leyds, the Transvaal minister to the courts of Europe has arrived at Marseilles, ac cording to a World dispatch from Paris. He comes to meet President Kruger, who is due to arrive soon on the Dutch cruiser Gelderland. The three Boer spec ial envoys who have been visiting Eur ope and America seeking intervention to restore peace in South Africa, will ar rive today from Paris. Dr. Leyds at Avignon, two hours distant from Mar seilles, said positively that Mr. Kruger will land at Marseilles, and not at Naples, or Genoa, as has been persist ently rumored. On being asked about Mr. Kruger'3 plans Mr. Leyds replied: "Really, I know scarcely more than you do," adding smilingly: "Hereafter you must apply to the president himself for information when he gets here. One man will represent the Transvaal and one man only." Several delegations met Dr. Leyds at the railway station in Marseilles- He postponed discussion of the Kruger re ception arrangements until today. When Dr. Ledys' carriage drove into the great interior court of the Hotel Noailles, al though great crowds lined the curbs, there was no demonstration. Dr. Leyds wnt directly to his apartment. He de clined to receive newspaper reporters ani began to dictate answers to a huge accumulation of dispatches. More than 600 prominent people from Paris. Berlin and Amsterdam have arrived at Mar seilles, Michael Davitt among others. ARRESTED FOR TWO CENTS Farmer Fails to Place Revenue Stamp on a Note. Mattoon, III., Nov. 19. Failure to place a 2-cent revenue stamp on a note for $25 precipitated trouble between Na thaniel Myers and F. A. Welch. two Clark county farmers. Myers gave the jnote to Welch as security for paEture rent, a difference arose over the terms, and Myers refused to pay. claiming there was no revenue stamp on the note and it was not binding. The justice before whom the case was tried upheld Myers' contention. Welch brought the matter before the federal authorities and Myers was ar rested on a charge of violating the in ternal revenue law. Today United States Deputy Commissioner Dyas at Paris heard the case and. while there was a technical violation of the statute, decided that Myers had not intended to defraud the government and he was dis charged. Bin i mif nnT m it i.iniLutniui in ii "Under No Circumstances" Senatorial Candidate. M. A. Low is out of the list of possi bilities for United States senator. Mr. Low, in a statement to some of his friends, said: "Under no circumstances will I be a candidate for United States senator. My present position in the service of the Rock Island railway company satisfies me, and I would not be disposed to change places for Senator Baker's seat, even if the opportunity should present ttself." This takes Mr. Low out of the con test. He may remain a dark horse, but for that matter the woods are full of inceptive candidates and they will con tinue to multiply until the end. It has been said that Mr. Low, to avoid com mitting himself, will go hunting next week and will remain away a month. Mr. Low goes on this trip every fall, and bis going this year is of no political sig nificance. He will be gone only two weeks. It is possible for him to be elected senator this winer. for there is no telling what the legislature will do, but it is certain that he will not in vite or encourage anything of the kind, and his acceptance is doubtful, even if elected. if' r n I II' 44 i'.' f. j. r ill' I it m X&'WM1? v mm Y3 hi S3.

The Ottawa university football team, which has been so crippled for the past few days, has rearranged some of the positions of in dividual players and will put up a much stronger game with the Kansas City Medics today than has been expected by those in close touch with the team. In fact, the line-up Saturday night and the vigor and team work shown was on a decided par with anything shown by the team this season. Peterson has gone to complete the season with Em poria and Cook will take his place. Bur nett will fill the position made vacant at full back, and King will probably go into the game in his old time form. He has been laid up with a sprained ankle received in the laskell game at Law rence, but is now back in the game. Lambertson is also in good shape for quarter. Thus the back field will not be weakened by the absence of Peterson. Captain Evans, who was slightly in jured in the recent game with Emporia, is again in prime condition and says he will be able to help defeat the Medics the second time. SIIAFFERJS" OUT. Murray Myers, of Wichita, the New Asylum Steward. E. L. Shaffer, of Council Grove, has given up the position of steward at the Topeka asylum and Murray Myers, of Wichita, has been elected to succeed him. Myers is a close friend of Governor Stanley and is prominent in the Republi can party in Sedgwick county. He is not a business man in the strict sense of the word, but is literally a politician, having held numerous local offices, the last one being treasurer of Sedgwick county. Myers Is to take charge of- the office as soon as he can give the necessary bond and arrange his affairs to come to To peka. Shaffer resigned as the result of a con troversy with the board of charities. The board at first removed Sharfer from office, declaring the position vacant when Shaffer was out of town receiving treat ment from a broken limb, the injury be ing sustained while he was umpiring a game of baseball at the asylum. Shaffer returned to the city, notwith standing the fact that he had been or dered to report to be checked out of of fice, and reported for his official duties. To this the officers of the asylum and the members of the board strenuously obiouted and insisted that Shaffer vacate. But ne refused and demanded an investi gation. He assumed this position in accordance with the provisions of a decision of the supreme court in the now famous ten ure of office act. under which John Breidenthal has been able to hold the of fice of state bank commissioner under a Republican administration. A majority of the members of the board of charities, agreed that there was cause for Shaffer's removal, but when confront ed with the legal phase of the preposi tion, which guarantees the steward the right to investigation, they deciined to a.ct, so the matter was patched up, the scandal which the members of the board alleged was hushed, and Mjr. Shaffer was permitted to resign. The resignation, at the time of the con. traversy placed in the hands of members of the board, named November 15 as the date upon which Shaffer's connection with the institution should cease. When that date arrived Mr. Shaffer packed his clothes and departed. Immediatelv the board of charities declared Murray Myers steward, but he has not yet reached To peka. While waiting for Myers to take charge Superintendent Biddle is bearing the bur den of the work of the steward. The in. stitution and the board are now awaiting the convenience of Mr. Myers. MARTIN IRONS DEAD. Director of the Famous Missouri Pa cific Strike Passes Away. Houston, Tex., Nov. 19. Martin Irons, who was once leader of the union labor organizations, and who directed the great Missouri Pacific strike in the eighties, died yesterday at Bruoeville, twenty miles south of Waco. Irons came to the county three years ago and, stop ping with Dr. G. B. Harris, the then Populist county chairman, he found con genial company and began organizing Social Democratic clubs. "Anti-Money-Rent" was the slogan used to arouse the tenant farmers, and in the course of a few months the en tire south border of McLennan, east part of Ball and northwest portion of Falls counties were organized into the clubs. The organization extended to the east side of the Brazos river. MRS. SIMPSON DEAD. Prominent Pioneer Kansas Woman Buried Yesterday. Norton, Nov. 19 Mrs. Emma Simpson, one of the most estimable ladies of Nor ton, was buried Sunday. She was the wife of Win. Simpson, who died about a year ago. The Simpsons were old set tlers of Norton county, respected and admired by all. The husband was a strong candidate for the Republican nomination for congress in the Sixth district, in the Phillipsburg convention, six years ago. The pall-bearers were those who served at the funeral of her husband.

.1 PPT -0 OUR GUNS ALL RIGHT. Chaffee Says So in Response to Official Inquiry. Washington, Nov. 19. Some disparag ing criticism upon the American field gun as exhibited in the Chinese cam paign led Adjutant General Corbin to address the following inquiry to General Chaffee: "Adjutant General's Office, Novembei 15, 1900. Chaffee, Pekin: Asserted our light artillery guns did not meet all re quirements service compared with other armies. What are the facts. "CORBIN." The following response has been re ceived: "Adjutant General, Washington, No vember 16. Replying to your No. 72, our battery better than any army in cam paign. German battery" just arrived; some features superior to ours. Powder charge in case fired with trigger like pistol. More rapid account result. Break arm also better, calibre not quite so large. Our battery highly praised, par ticularly so by General Linevitch, who said he felt like taking off his hat when ever he saw it. No battery so effective as ours in attacks on Pekin. "CHAFFEE." GOTHAM HORSE SHOW. The Sixteenth Annual Exhibit Opens in Madison Square Garden New York, Nov. 19. The sixteenth an nual exhibition of the National Horse Show association opened in Madison Square Garden today. Nearly $10,000 in excess of the prices offered at any pre ceding show are bid at the auction sale of box seats. Sixty-four box seats were sold at an average of $400, the highest price being $625.

W'hitney and William H. Taylor for the evening performance. MAY BE COURTMARTIAL. Trouble Between Capt. MoCalla and Lieut. Com. ColwelL Washington, Nov. 19. The proceed ings in the case of Capt. McCalla is a court of inquiry and not a court martial. The navy department was advised some time ago that trouble had arisen between Capt. McCalla, commanding the Newark and Lieutenant Commander John C. Colwell, formerly naval attache at Lon don, and now executive officer of the ship. While the department was ac quainted with the fact it left the matter to the' commander-in-chief of the sta tion, Admiral Remey, to adjust. He has now found it necessary to appoint a court of inquiry, which will determine the merits of the dispute between the two officers. Should this tribunal recom mend a court martial in the case of Capt. McCalla it would be necessary to relieve him immediately from his com mand and order him to the United States, for there are not a sufficient number of officers of the required rank on the Asiatic station to form a court martial for the captain. BERNIIARDT'S PLAN. May Alternate With. Operatic Stars Upon Her Return to Paris. Paris, Nov. 19. There was a prodig ious coming and going of guests, trades people, dramatists, even of mere guests, at the residence of Sarah Bernhardt prior to her departure for America, and more plans were sketched out for what she should do on her return to France than the great artist will ever be able to accomplish, despite her tremendous activity. Beyond any manner1 of doubt one of the boldest of theses and its very bold ness, as well as its character of refined art, was well calculated to attract this most enterprising of manageresses a project of which no whisper has been published and which has to be tempo rarily abandoned in face of the enor mous! expenditure which it would entail, was to add next year to the Theater Sarah Bernhardt an, opera company whose performances would alternate with those "of the eminent tragedienne. To a few friends Sarah had begun to sketch out the elements; of the company she wished to gather the De Reszke brothers, who, as is well known, for a long time past have cherished the idea of establishing in Paris a model opera, to which they would lend their talents and their artistic sense; Mile. Breval, M. Plancon and many others. This plan, conceived on the eve of de parture for America, is perchance only a castle in Spain, but with Sarah the seemingly impossible has so often been realized that it is permissible to say, "chi la sa?" ROBBED THE FIDDLER. Joseph Eberle Is Being Tried For the Crime. The trial of Joseph Eberle, a Russian, for the holding up and robbing of Chris Schultz in June was commenced in the district court this morning. Last June there was a Russian wed din in North Topeka. Chris Schultz was the musician who furnished the music for the wedding dance. The festivities .lasted until early in the morning. Schultz claims that he was on his way home from the wedding and was held up near the north end of the Santa Fe bridge. He says the man who held him up smashed his violin and took $24.95 from him. He claims that Eberle was the man who robbed him. As all the parties to the case and the witnesses are Russians the trial is being conducted with the aid of an interpreter. WANTS THE COURT ROOM. Semi-Centennial Exposition Company Wants It Por a Work Room. County Treasurer Philips has filed a petition with the county commissioners asking that the Kansas Semi-centennial Exposition company be allowed the use of the court room to be vacated by the court of appeals. The court of appeals goes out of busi ness in January, and sthe north court room on the second floor of the court house will then be vacant. Mr. Philips asks that the exposition company be al lowed to use the room on the grounds that the exposition is a matter of pub lic interest and benefit to the city, county and state. There has been some talk of allowing the city court to use the court room. The city court is at present situated in a not over desirable room in the basement. If the commissioners decide to allow the city court the court room other quarters may be found for the exposition company. Lecture on General Grant by Con gressman Chas. B. Landia, of Indiana, Tonight The lecture course committee have been at great pains to secure Congress man Chas. B. Landis of Indiana, to de liver a lecture on General Grant at the High School assembly hall tonight. Mr. Landis made an enviable reputation as a public speaker in the memorable de bate on the Brigham H. Roberta resolu tion in congress last winter. Have you seen Smith? A SELLSSUITOR. TContinued From First Page. Sherlock Holmeses who watched the Sells house, was called. Ehret is now a sa loonkeeper and lives at 25 East Naghten street. He has beeen in Columbus for 2H years and was employed for many years at the Union station. He workea for Mahoney about four months. He knew William Bott. also Harry Lyons, He was first put to watch Lyons on the night of October 23. On the night of the 25th he followed Lyons from his boarding house to several places about town. Lyons about 8 o'clock took a car and went north. He got off at Buttles avenues, walked to the house at the southwest corner of Buttles and Dennison avenues (the Sells house) and rang the door bell. He talked for a few moments to some one at the front door, but did not go in, and then went back down town. The "shadow" was soon after taken off Lyons. On the night of October 27, he saw Bott come to the Sells house. He entered at the front door. The door was opened by a woman. He could not see her features, but she was the taller and older of the two women he had seen at the house. He also told of the lights and shadows in the house. On the night of November 3 he again saw Bott at the house. He was again a.dmitted by a woman, the same one as the former night. Ehret said that be fore Bott would leave the house the wo man who admitted him would come out of the front door, walk out on the porch and look up and down Buttles avenue. She would then go back in the house and Bott would come out. He said the woman always made an inspection of the street before Bott would come out. Bott was admitted to the house on November 9 by the same woman, and again on the 12th. On the night of October 2G he saw a man enter the house by the side door, but the lights were out and he could not recognize him. When he attempted to follow the caller gave him the slip and he lost him. Ehret said that on one night he was watching the house and was standing on the corner. A woman came out of the house and walked up to him. She took a good look into his face and then pass ing him a few steps, turned and walked back to the house. He was asked if he knew the woman. He said, "yes," and turning around in his chair, pointed to Mrs. Sells and said, "There she is." Mrs. Sells looked him in the face with a steady glance, while a slight smile curved her lips. RAID POVERTY HOLLOW. Strange to Say the Robber Got 161. Guy Roudebush was arrested this af ternoon by Sheriff Cook charged with, robbing Mrs. Harrison of $145. Mrs. Harrison and Roudebush live with Mra Caroline Hercules, mother of Mrs. Harrison, a mile west of Lowman Hill in a district known as "Hungry" or "Poverty" hollow. Mrs. Hercules and Roudebush claim that some time Sat urday night a man entered the house and took $9 from under Roudebush's pillow, $145 from under Mrs. Harrison's pillow, and while he was getting $5.65 from un der Mrs. Hercules' pillow he awakened her and she gave the alarm. Roudet bush claimed that he got his Winchester rifle and hunted for the man but could not find him. After hearing all the stor ies Sheriff Cook thought there was enough suspicion to justify the arrest of Roudebush THE ICE TRUST. Governor Roosevelt Answers the Van Wyck Charges. Albany, N. T., Nov. 19. Governor Roosevelt has prepared the following memorandum of the charges against Mayor Van Wyck of New York City in the Ice Trust matter: "There are three wholly distinct sides to the let Trust matter. "In the first place, there is the general question whether the American Ice com pany, dealing as it does in a necessary of life to the poor people of New York, is one into which it was proper for a public spirited man to enter. This is, of course, not a question for legal action in any shape or form. "Moreover, it is unnecessary to point out that, whether the corporation is legal or illegal, proper or improper in character, it is an act of utter hypocrisy on the part of any public man to de nounce trusts in general, and this trust in particular, in the platform and on the stump, while he at the same time, in his private capacity, holds stock, or has held stock, that he thus denounces. "Attention is called to this feature simply because an effort has been made to show that unless legal action against the trust or some of its stockholders can be taken, these same public men are to be exonerated. "Second There is the question wheth er or not the existence of this so-called let Trust is in violation of the anti trust law. This, of course, can only be decided by the courts. "On May 28, 1S00, the attorney general instituted proceedings to annul the cer tificate of the Ice company under this law. The corporation, through its coun sel, has fought the action at every stage on technicalities, not on the merits of the case. The first decision before Judge Chester was in favor of the state. An appeal has been taken by the defendants which was argued weeks ago, and the attorney general is daily expecting a decision by the appellate division on this appeal. The defendants obtained a stay of proceedings pending the appeal. "All possible diligence has been shown by the attorney general in the effort to secure the annulment of the certificate, and nothing could have been done by the state to expedite proceedings, which has not been done. The delay is due, of course, to the course of the corpora tion itself, whose stockholders include the public men above alluded to. "We now come to the third side of the matter, the only one in which the gov ernor, in his? official capacity, has any power whatsover to act, viz., the charges against Mayor Van Wyck. "Inasmuch as the question as to whether the lee corporation is or is not a trust or monopoly is before the courts, for decision, until they have acted, ac tion by the governor can only with pro priety be taken, under the Greater New York charter. So far as the charges are brought under this charter, it makes no difference as regards the mayor's con duct, whether the aforesaid corporation is or is not a trust within the meaning of the law." More Than Claimed. New York, Nov. 19. The board of county canvassers today completed the canvass of the vote in the Eighth con gressional district and announced the official figures: Creamer 10.330, Van Cott 10.079.

WHEAT The cables this morning, after our decline Saturday, showed an advance of 4d and were th firincipal factor in causing a high open ng. Notwithstanding the fact that a liirt-e short interest existed here, they felt se cure in their position fur the reason that cash mqiiirv was slow. The market hi Id fairly steady until the visible was posted showing an increase of over a million arm a half, much to the surprise of the trade, when there was a continuance of the li quidation which has been going on for the past week and prices were carried down to the low point on crop. Farmer" deliveries have been large while clear ances were only fair. There seems to be a feeling that prices are down to a basis where a demand will take place, and with lighter Russian and Argentine shipments this country is the only place for the foreigner to get his supplies.

C, Nov. 13. 1900. "Committee Commercial club, Topeka, Kaa. "(lentlemen I beg to acknowledge the receipt of your communication of trie Roth ultimo, iu regard to the enumera tion of the city of Topeka. and in re sponse thereto would state that I have no reason to believe that any mistakes were made in the enumeration of your" city, and will not take any action in ref erence thereto until you furnish positive evidence that the enumerators were derelict in their duties, and have omitted a number i f persons, giving me the names and addiesses of the persons you claim were emitted, and furnishing- pos itive evidence that they were residents of Topeka on June 1, iSOO, the date of the enumeration. "The comparisons made in your let ter from estimates based on the city directory can not be considered as evi dence that the enumerators, the sworn agents of this department, have been derelict in their duties. You state that the assessors' returns that were re ferred to in our former letter are not reliable, hut can not agree with you in this, as in many cases the work of the enumerators has proven that the as sessors work, w hile not absolutely cor rect, comes a f?reat deal nearer the pop ulation than any estimate based upon the city directory, the school census, the registration, or the vote. Verv respectfully. "W. K. MKKRIAM. "Director." Efforts will be made immediately to secure affidavits from some of the many persons whose names were omitted from the official count and the evidence will be sent to the director. The chairman of the committee is al ready in possession of a number of names of people who were residents of the city on June 1 and who were not -visited by a census enumerator; but for the purpose of making the list as large as possible it is urged that all those who were not counted, either send or take their name and address to the chairman of the committee, Mr. S. H. Downs, 304 Kansas avenue. Any one knowing of friends who were not counted will confer a favor upon the committee bv reporting the name. K.l'.MKRATOiiS MEKT.

Washington, Nov.19. Controller of the Currency Dawes has appointed Oliver P. Tucker, national bank examiner, tem porary receiver of the German National bank of Newport, Ky.

The officials here consider it astonishing that a de falcation amounting to more than the reserve of the bank could have remained undiscovered for any length of time but they attempt to offer no explanation as Mr. Tucker has not yet furnished any details. The last examination of the bank was made in May last. The fol lowing is a statement of the condition of the bank as shown by its sworn report to the comptroller of the currency un der date of September 5. 1900: Liabilities Capital stock $100,000; sur plus and undivided profits $50,630.47; cir culation $25,000; due toother barks, $16, 178.45; deposits $534,904; borrowed money $10,000.

The above notice appeared on the doors of the stately building of the German National bank of Newport, Ky., prior to the time for opening today. The Yemeni, latia ox uiiuat; or me notice had been known since Sunday morning and therefore there were none of the usual scenes accompanying a run on the bank by depositors. The alleged defal cation of Assistant Cashier Frank M. Brown to the amount of about $200,000 was a fact so overwhelming that no de positor was foolish enough to suppose that any good could be accomplished by attempting to get money from the bank today. National Bank Examiner O. P. Tucker, who is in charge, in an interview today said that the alleged defalcation was not discovered by him until 10 o'clock on Saturday night; that both he and the bank's own experts had been unable to find anything wrong until that time. The discovery was made in a compari son of Brown's individual ledger with the cashier's daily checking up. Here, he said, it was found that Brown had been forging balances from day to day until the total of $192,000 had been with drawn from the funds of the bank. The examiner further said that the matter of criminal proceedings had been referred to United States District Attorney Mil ler, of Louisville, who would cause a warrant for Brown's arrest to be is sued. The examiner himself had not taken this step because he knew that Brown was absent. The only bond which the bank holds is that of Paris C. Brown, the father of the assistant cashier, who is a well known river man and president of the Consolidated Boat Store company. This bond is an open one, conditioned to cover any shortage by the son. It is said that though Paris C. Brown has voluntarily offered his entire property to meet the obliga tion, not more than $20,000 can be re alized from this source. The examiner stated that he probably would be named as temporary receiver, but the appointment of a permanent re ceiver was in the hands of the comp troller of the currency. The stock, he says, is of no value, as a double liability assessment must be made. Depositors may receive a dividend as soon as the comptroller of the currency will author ize it, but this may be weeks and even months. Depositors will be notified of the amounts to their credit and they will be required to make proof of their claims. Examiner Tucker said he would employ a full force of clerks to arrange the business of the bank and make every effort to collect all the debts due the bank and in every way discover the bank's exact condition, but until that time he would not make a positive state ment as to the extent of the liability beyond that it now appeared to be $192, 000. The bank was the depository of nine building associations and of the adjoin ing corporations of Bellevue, Dayton, and other towns, as well as of about fifteen hundred individuals and firms. Therej are no indications 'of an accom plice, or of any one knowing about Brown's departure or destination. HARRIS GOES BACK. But Will Remain at Vienna Only Till March 4. Washington, Nov. 19.

MANY ACRES OF DAHLIAS. From the New York Sun. A visit to the dahlia farm of H. T. Burt of Taunton, Mass., must be a rev elation to any save a commercial grower of an enthusiastic, up-to-date fancier of the flower. The dahlia has had its ups and downs of popularity, but since that general fever of enthusiasm when the European gardeners had at last suc ceeded in semidoubling and doubling the newcomer from Mexico, garden lov ers, true flower devotees, have mostly been cold, when they were not hostile, to the "florists" flower,' the big, top heavy round-upon-round of petals fluted and quilled with depressing uniformity. Even its velvet surface, its superb tint ing, its fantastic freakishness of color combinations, even the pictorial help fulness of the plant in the garden scheme and even that strongest argu ment, its long season of bloom, rising to its greatest splendor after the autumn rains, failed to win it any warmth of ap preciation. That came first from artis tic, discerning flower lovers to the sin gle dahlia, when modern taste and feel ing began to Insist upon their restora tion to their true place in the garden. But that appreciation has persistently remained "caviare to the general," and the dahlia, in any form, so infrequently and scantily appears in the ordinary garden that a farm devoted to its cul ture seems as if it must be the indul gence to the craze of a wholly uncom mercial specialist. But Mr. Burt's seven acres of dahlias mean business and as, beginning with a single plant, he has gone on to the 1,200 varieties that crowd these acres and has been a dozen years in the work, it is plain that dahlias have a standingg and a future. All kinds there has been, but the addi tion of the cactus form to the single, great double and pompon ones familiar to most people, but the variations upon these four motives in color, texture, size, shape, curve and fimbriation of petal, in foliage, robustness and manner of growth of the plant, seem endless to the visitor treading these mazes of bloom. Single flower loyalists will not in the least be shaken in their allegiance by the masses of double triumphs of the florists' art and patience in Mr. Burt's fields, for there are long rows of single dahlias growing w-ith a freedom and decorative grace vouchsafed no other variety. As for that latest addition to dahlia varieties, the cactus, even the most pas sionate devotees of the single form must acknowledge the surpassing beauty of the newcomer. It is to the old double forms what the Japanese chrysanthemum was to the few formal Chinese varieties that were our earliest acquaintance a con tribution of airy, irregular grace and elegance. The petals are longer and lighter looking and the color oftenest yellow, but occasionally a reddish pur ple adds greatly to the effectiveness of the flower. According to Mr. Burt the dahlia is of the easiest culture. The same treatment that will produce an abundant crop of potatoes light, air. room, a thoroughly pulverized soil filled with food will pro duce an abundant crop of dahlias, bloom and tubers, thought not all varieties are of equal constitutional vigor. Some lav ish producers of the choicest flowers are meager root makers. To secure a fairly uniform size among his mailing stock Mr. Burt grades his varieties according to their characteristics, giving those most delicate the heaviest application of fertilizer rich in potash. He uses both barnyard and commercial fertilizers, the dahlia fields are plowed and cross plowed, the tubers are planted in rows precisely like potatoes, and after the young plants pierce the ground the cul tivator is kept going until their lusty growth forbids. Happily, with the dahlia there are no insects to fight, but the flower is very sensitive to frost. Mr. Burt constantly increases his col lection with the choicest of native and foreign novelties, the best coming from England, where, strangely, climatic con ditions seem to suit the native of Mexi co. September is the month when the dahlia is at its best in this country, but this year Mr. Burt's fields were in their fullest glory in October. BUNCOED BY A FIJI KING. Robert Mackay, in Success. The King "You Merican, you you?" I "Yes. your majesty, I am glad to say that I am an American citizen." "Ya halajaa Ku Fiji?" (How do you like Fiji?) "Your majesty, I am most pleased with this beautiful island. Like the other islands of the South sea, it is an earthly paradise." "You ketch him bacoco?" (tobacco.) "Yes, your majesty (deferentially), I have plenty of tobacco some tine old Virginia leaf. Maybe your majesty would like some?" "You give me bacoco, I give you big pearl." A pearl from the king! The deal was closed. Immediately I dispatched a man to the hut where my trunk reposed, and told him to bring me all the tobacco he could find. But surely there was not sufficient for a king's pearl, a priceless jewel! I tried to demur to change his it outherwise. Presently the man re- it otherwise. Preesntly the man re turned with three large boxes of long cut, and a bunch of Manila cigars which I had bought for moth extermination. The lot would have brought about four dollars in the Fiji market, and I reluc tantly passed it over to his majesty, who took it with that cry of delight that comes only from the breast of the man who has found gold after years of pov erty. Then he uttered some unintel ligible words in the Fiji dialect and from the deep confines of hi3 coat brought forth a thin ball of cotton. He unrolled it with a particular caution and picked up the pearl, white, dainty, supreme. He held it between his thumb and forefinger for a moment of admiration, and then, with uncovered head, placed it In my outstretched hand. I shall never forget how, many months later, when I landed in London, I went to the purser and got my cherished pearl from his strong box. I was going to have it mounted as a pin. I shall never, never forget how the jeweler listened to my story, clapping a magni fying glass to his eye, looked at it closer and closer and closer, and then said, in a tone that pieiced my heart: "My boy, this isn't a pearl; it is a fish's eye!" SNEEZE WOOD. From the Building News. Among its many peculiarities South Africa includes the "sneezewood" tree, which takes its name from the fact that one can not cut it with a saw with out sneezing, as the fine dust has exactly the effect of snuff. Even in planing the wood it will sometimes cause sneezing. No insect, worm or barnacle will touch it. It is very bitter to the taste and its specific gravity is heavier than water. The ninr is light brown, the grain very close and hard. It is a nice-looking wood and takes a good polish. For dock work, piers or jetties it is a useful tim ber, lasting a long w hlle under water.

St- Petersburg-, Nov. 3. Ore of the most cherished ideas of the Pan-Slavic publicists is to detach Italy from the triple alliance. and a writer in the Ros Eiya, one of the newer of the St. Peters burg journals, proposes to accomplish this and to overcome the influence of Austria in the Balkans at one stroke. He suggests that Kussia shall put Italy in tiie way of securing a foothold, or perhaps, even dominant influence in Al bania. The editor of the Rossiya finds that this idea has its disadvantages. The plan, he thinks, however might be made acceptable if Russia had to deal with one Italy only the quirinal and political Italy. But there is another Italy to be reckoned with the Vatican and Catholic Italy, the ancient enemies of the ortho dox Greek church. To substitute Italy for Austria in the direction of Balkan affairs, would be. he thinks, like the change of King- Lear's daughters Jie gaji for Gonieril. The Rossiya thinks it seea indications of a possible recon struction of the triple alliance with Eng land in the place of Austria- It notes evidences of coolness between ttie courts of Rome and Vienna and attaches great significance to the forthcoming visit of the young- king of Italy to England among other countriea The result of it all may be the transformation of the Anglo-German agreement regarding China and Africa into a formal alliance into which Italy will be taken on ac count of her position in the Mediterran ean. Austria will be isolated. The nat ural result would be that Russia would have much easier sailing in the Bal kans. This conclusion no doubt explains the Rossiya's article. It is the wish, not the facts so formally marshalled that fathered this thought- The minister of finance issues figures phowing that although thev have not thrived particularly the Belgian joint utock companies of Russia are making a small dividend, taken as a whole. There are 14S companies with a capital of 494.000.000 roubles or nearly $250,000, 000. Of this number sixtv-four are less than eighteen months old. The annual report on the grain crop of Russia harvest of 1900, shows that of the winter grains, the rye crop is a little above and the wheat crop below the average. Winter wheat suffered from excessive humidity in the south west and "New Russia" spring grain is aid to be near the average. Twelve new" sugar refineries will b opened In Russia next season. Warsaw newspapers report that the agents of tlie United States are buying sugar beet seed in Poland. This seed will be given a trial at the agricultural stations in tae United States. Such seed has prev iously been obtained principally from Franca. WARM CONGRATULATIONS But No Honey Sent to JffcKinley by the Sultan. Constantinople, Nov. 19. TJ. S.

George Henry, the father of Ira D.. Henry, who is in the county jail at Albuquerque, N. M., charged with in fanticide and burglary, has returned to his home in this city. The Albuquerque Daily Citizen of Saturday relates the following incident of Mr. Henry's visit in Albuquerque: "This morning, before the train upon which he was to take passage arrived, the father entered the barber shop to get shaed, and while the barber was performing his work reference was made to the Henry case. The words reached the ears of the father, and the latter burst into tears, sobbing as if his heart would break, over the fate which has enveloped his son and daughter-in-law, both having left their respective homes in Topeka with the best wishes for a happy future from a host of admiring friends, who, to August last, had as sembled, at the Topeka depot when the newly wedded couple left on their jour ney for Albuquerque. At Tcpeka they were considered an exemplary couple, regular attendants at church, and the wife a member of a weil known church choir. Letters from Topeka people, some of which have been received at this office, show astonishment over the predicament into which the young mar ried people have gotten themselves." GOOD ROADERS MEET.

New Tork, Nov. 19. Plans are being made by the administration, according to a Washington dispatch to the Herald, to press with vigor for the ratification bv the senate of the Hay-Pauncefote treaty in its original form as the first step towaros constructing an imuiuuui canal. This action is likely to precipitate one of the memorable contests of the coming session of congress.- Opposition to the treaty is based on the fact that it pro vides that no fortifications shall be erected on the canal. The Hepburn bill, which has passed the house, provides for the construction and protection by the secretary of war of a Nicaraguan canal. In addition Senator Davis has brought before the senate from the committee on foreign relations an amendment that nothing in the treaty shall restrict meas ures which the United States may find necessary for the defense of the United States. The Davis amendment was copied from the tenth clause of the Constantinople treaty, securing the neutrality of the Suez canal. John A. Kasson of Iowa, special com missioner and formerly minister of the United States to Germany and Austria, supports the Hay-Pauncefote treaty. "It is manifestly absurd to attempt to make a private national 'snap' of the exclusive control and use of a great in teroceanic waterway," he said in an in terview. "To establish such conditions by law would be a challenge to all na tions to combine against us and to com pel us to do what we ought to do in the spirit of modern civilization, and in re ciprocity for the privileges we enjoy in the eastern world." No predictions can be made as to the vote on the treaty. RACING AT FRISCO. The Winter Meeting Opens Today With a Good Card San Francisco. Nov. 19.

Introduces the Speaker With Words of Endorsement. Judge Ewing Sajs We Live in a Practical Age. Twelve hundred people heard Judge Wm. G. Ewing, of Chicago, explain Christian Science at the Crawford opera house Sunday afternoon. Dell Keizer was chairman of the meet ing. In introducing the speaker, Mr. Keizer said: "The influence which has done more to strengthen and promote the true cause of Christianity than all other forces combined is the religious tolera tion which has come to us with the nine teenth century. The power of the church for good has grown just in pro portion as doctrines have broadened and creeds have ceased their tyranny. And so today the only vital and essential tests of true Christian life are an un derstanding and application of the teachings of Jesus Christ and a desire to comprehend and accept the sublime character whose light and love have pierced the darkness and superstition of centuries. "Christian Science, as I understand it, is not in conflict with any religion founded upon that principle, but seeks JUDGE WM. G. EWING, OF CHICAGO. rather to win from all humanity an ac ceptance of the divine love which Christ taught was ample for the ma terial as well as the spiritual well-being of mankind. From my own observation and investigation of its practice, I am strongly convinced that Christian Sci ence is bringing health, happiness and hope to thousands of lives and homes, where only sickness, sorrow and despair were known before. "For that reason It gives me the ut most pleasure to bespeak for the dis tinguished gentleman who will address us this afternoon the same consideration which he accords to those who believe differently from him, and to which his wide learning and lofty purpose entitle him. So wise and winning an advocate as Judge Ewing would justly bring great prestige to any cause which he espoused, but to his chosen work today he comes under circumstances which add pecu liar and extraordinary force to his posi tion," Mr. Keizer then introduced Judge Ewing. Judge Ewing said: "We live in a practical age and are satisfied only with facts. The world is weary of theories, it longs for facts; it is surfeited with arguments, dogmas and platitudes, and cries out for facts. Christian Science Is the religion of Jesus Christ ;the religion that He preach ed, taught and practiced; or it is not anything worthy of your thought or mine. If Christian Science is not this, we want to know it at the earliest possi ble moment; and if it is this, the good people of the old churches want to know it, I am sure, tonight, if it may be. The greatest difficulty that confronts me in presenting to you any new phase of re ligion, or new thought of God, is our inherited religious beliAfs, our fathers" thought of God. In our pride of ances try we have accepted, without investi gation, our fathers' belief as our own. It is a humiliating confession, and yet it is doubtless true, that less than 5 per cent of the millions of professed believ ers in the Christian religion are what they are, not by reason of any convic tion resulting from personal investiga tion of their relationship to God; they are Presbyterians Congregationalists, Methodists, Baptists, Episcopalians or Catholics because their fathers were. No one thinks it strange that we should discard our fathers' thought respecting dress, habitation, civil or religious gov ernment, or the inherent rights of men, and yet the thought seems to be almost universal that the child shall think of religion, think of God, as its fathers thought, or not think at all. And yet we know, indeed, that our fathers ques tioned the religious beliefs of their fa thers, and made us happier by it; that their fathers questioned the religious beliefs of their own fathers and made the world brighter by it. John Calvin questioned the religious beliefs of his Headache Pia back of your eyes? Heavy pressure in your head And arc you sometimes faint and dizzy? Is your tongue coated?

Why should we not have the independence, the in tellectual integrity, to think of God in the splendid light of today rather than in the bonds of ancestral thought? "As one means of clearing your minds of the prevailing prejudices of the old churches against Christian Science, let me remind you that there are many re ligious beliefs and religious practices, respecting which you of the old churches and Christian Scientists are in perfect accord. For instance, you and they are in favor of whatever makes men and women better, happier, more loving and lovable; you and they will aid to the utmost whatever will lessen the burdens and sorrows of men, banish supersti tion, minimize fear, and add sweetness and holiness to the home and home re lations; you and they believe in the one ever living God and Father of all, in finite in power, wisdom, truth and love, a divine incorporeal, spiritual intel ligence; you and Christian Scientists alike believe in Jesus Christ, the only begotten son of God, born of the virgin mother, who taught in the temple, preached the gospel, healed the sick, made the lame to walk, gave sight to the blind, hearing to the deaf and purity to the sinful; and with equal fervor we worship and glorify this dear, compas sionate, healing Christ, as Lord, Savior and Exemplar. You also believe, as we do, that the Bible is the divinely in spired revelation of God to man; that the ten commandments are God's laws of requirement and restriction, to be resolutely and absolutely obeyed, one not less than the other; that prayer is both a privilege and a duty; and with equal loyalty you and Christian Scien tists accept the great commandment, "Thou shalt love the Lord thy God with all thy heart, with all thy mind and with all thy strength, and thou shalt love thy neighbor as thyself." So it appears that whatever you may have thought be fore, you know now that you and Chris tian Scientists are in absolute accord respecting the essential requirements of the Christian religion.as you understand that religion. "The most potent objection urged by the older churches against their own concept of Christian Science is that it is sheer impiety for any man or woman to assert that he or she i3 clothed with the power of God to heal the sick. The striking weakness of this objection is that Christian Scientists do not profess, In any degree, any such power.Christian Scientists simply assert, as it was de clared in the time of Jesus, that the power that heals the sick is the power of God. Now if it is true that the health- giving power is of God, and it is also true that God's power and love are as great now as they were in the morning of the Christian era, then, tell me, is there anything Etrange in the fact that the lame do walk and the blind do see, today, as they did walk and see nineteen hundred years ago? On the contrary, would it not strike your human sense of justice as passing strange, with God's power and love for men unchanged, that He should not manifest that power and love to His children as He did in the time of Jesus? But, really, about the only difference between our thought re specting the power and willingness of God to heal the sick, so far a. I can dis cern it, is about this: You say you be lieve it, and we believe it; you say you believe it.and do not trust it; we believe it, and do trust it; you say you believe with Paul that in God you live and move and have your being and go to the doctor or the drug store for your life and health; we believe with Paul that in God we have life, health and im mortality, and go to God, and God only for life and health. "I assert that there is not a Christian religious organization in the world to day, and never has been one, whether Protestant, Catholic or Jewish.that does not hold and teach the doctrine of God's power and w-illingness to ileal the sick. You must believe, as a mere matter of might, that God has the power to heal the sick, for you say that by the word of His power He created all the worlds and all that is in them; you say that He fashioned the eye, and the ear, and if this is true, then you must believe that God can remove a little film from the eye He created; that the power that fashioned the ear can remove a little thickness from Its drum. It is very ap parent that you believe that God has the physical and mental welfare of His children in His keeping and is willing to make them well, because, every Sabbath in your churches, you openly, and some times elaborately, pray to God 'for the sick and the afflicted,' 'the poor and the distressed,' 'the widow and the orphan;' and you would not, I am sure, go to God with a petition for relief, where you doubted either His power or willingness to grant your petition. Really, do you not think that your professed belief and your practice should keep company with each other? And may you not wisely learn tonight, if you have never realiz ed it before, that a declared moral belief that is not, supplemented by what you do, is simply an assault upon your in tellectual integrity? I submit to you this simple proposition: If you really be lieve that you 'live and move in God,' then should you not, as a mere act of keeping faith with yourselves, trust your life and your health to their Infinite Keeper? "Christian Science is Indeed a 'key' to God's revelation of Himself to men; a comprehension of its truth enlarges the moral status of man; quickens the kind lier sentiments of his nature; makes the husband and father more devoted and affectionate: the wife and mother more tender and loving; works the negation of self and the development of love for our kind; moves the heart to pity; spreads the mantle of charity; and lifts the weary children of earth nearer to the great, loving heart of God." RUSS HARRISON OBJECTS. He Protests Against Sis Dismissal From the Army. Washington, Nov. 19. Lieut. Col. Russell B. Harrison, inspector general of the department of Porto Rico, has telegraphed a protest to the war de partment against his discharge from the army, which was ordered on November 13. Colonel Harrison has asked that he be retained in Porta Rico until he has finished up the work connected with his office. The order for his discharge was issued without warning to him. It was said at the war department that the only reason for Colonel Harri son's discharge was the abolishing of the military department of Porto Rico. The only duly available for Colonel Harri son, it was explained, was in the Philip pines, and as this could not last much longer than July 1, 1901, when the volun teer army will be discharged, there was no ground for retaining him in the vol unteer service.

(EEP RIGHT 01 Populists Will Maintain State Headquarters in Topeka. Already Organizing For the FU' ture Battles. THE "REGISTER" SOLD H. N. Gaines Consolidates It With the "Advocate." Secretary Curran of the State Committee Here to Stay. The Populists of Kansas, In the lan guage of the chief of Tammany Hall, were defeated but not 'discouraged, by the recent election. Aa a preliminary for the next battle to take place in two years, John H. Curran, secretary of the Populist state committee, has come to Topeka, and has opened headquarters for the purpose of organizing the party and getting the workers in shape for a victory at the next state election. The Advocate, recently purchased by 1. N. Gaines, ex-state superintendent is to be the official organ of this reor ganization scheme, a fact which neces sitated the vacation of the field by the btate Register, so R. M. Ruggles and E. li. btotts sold that paper to Mr. Gaines, and he is now in charge. The plan of reorganization which is now being followed- is for a sort of re generation of the Populist party. While some of the defeated candidates are talk ing of a new party, there is a very large element of the Populist party which believes that the emergency de mands, not a new party, but a straight- out People's party management, which has not been had in a state campaign since the fusiomists obtained control of the party councils. Those who are engineering this new movement do not admit that the cul mination of their plans and hopes means the abandonment of fusion, but under neath the surface some of the wise ones say this sentiment may be found. The Populist believe that many Dem ocrats helped the cause of the Republi cans this year, and they also admit the loss of much Populist strength, all of which is attributed to the opposition to fusion by both parties. The unexpected and disheartening re sults which attended the last election, from the standpoint of a Populist, need attention of some sort, and this reor ganization scheme has been adopted as the panacea for the ills which are not discernible to those who are in control of the management, except so far aa they are convinced that there is some adjustment, somewhere, necessary. John Breidenthal who, in absolute op position to Mb own wishes in the mat ter, yielded to the Importunities of the Democrats and some of his Populist as sociates to lead the reform elements in the last campaign. Is not in sympathy with the new party movement. He has not thus far expressed himself In ac cord with the proposition, and is main taining a strict silence on the subject. Mr. Breidenthal and other prominent members of the party have many times in the past suggested the probability of disintegration of the People's party, in the event fusion was persistently in dulged, because that political action gave the new parties the appearance of being in politics simply for the offices that were in It. Then, too, the failure of the fusionlsts, in control of the state government and the legislature, to enact laws which had been promised, notably a railroad law which was made subject to knockout blows from the supreme court. Now the effort at reorganization Is be ing made solely by the Populists. The officers of the Democratic committee have retired to private life and the headquar ters have been closed. By the way, it is hardly necessary to suggest that the Dem ocrats will not again move their head quarters to Kansas City. While all of them, publicly, profess great affection for Kansas City, they privately denounce the treatment which was accorded the high and mighty representatives of the Democ racy of Kansas during the maintenance of state headquarters in that place. The Populist reorganization scheme headquarters will be in the Advocate of fice and that paper will be the official distributor of the news and literature which will be sent out Secretary Curran will visit every county In the state. Of his plans and of the plans of the Populists to begin now working against fusion in subsequent campaigns, Mr. Curran says: "The People's party is not yet ready to be absorbed by the Democrats. Really, we don't now know which side the Demo crats will take in 1904. It may be con trolled by the eastern crowd. We believe that we have much strength left in Kan sas and we propose to keep our party or ganization going and to also keep the party together. "In the last election we polled over 150, 000 votes. A change of 10,000 would have given us the state. We propose to or ganize to produce this change and for these reasons permanent headquarters have been established in Topeka. "The state committee will be called to gether soon." FOOTBALL AT DENVER. D. A. C. and D. W. C. Play a Tie Game Then Mob the Referee, Denver, Nov. 19. There was more In terest manifested and a larger crowd at the football game played here Saturday afternoon between the D. A. C. and the D. W. C. than at any game of the sea son. There has long been a bitter ri valry between the two teams. Neither money nor time has been spared in any athletic contest between them. The great interest has always centered in the football games. Last year the Wheel club spent considerable money on their team, bringing a coach from Washburn college, but they failed. The score last year was 39 to 0 in favor of the D. A. S. Saturday, after two 35-minute halves had been played the score stood: D. A. C. 12. and D. W. C. 12. Both teams played their best and both teams proved to be in good condition. The D. A. C.'s unquestionably outplay ed the D. W. C.'s in the first half and the D. W. C.'s outplayed the D. A. C.'s in the second half. W. C. Sterne was very fair in his decisions as umpire. The referee was Dr. F. P. Tuxburv. He made anything but a good official. A large part of the time he acted as though he was out of his head. After the game was over he was surrounded by a howling mob of D. A. C.sympathiz ers. Some one in the crowd struck him. but it was not a D. A. C. man. The club members merely tried to argue with him and maintained themselves as gentle men.
