4 4 rf i i s TWO CENTS. LAST EDITION. TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, MAY 21, 1901. TUESDAY EVENING. fti iff n x r t V .1 1 if i i i I SUTTON LET OUT, Auditor of Santa Fe Pacific Is Displaced. Action of Officials Followed At tempt at Suicide. MANY HUMORS AFLOAT. Reported That 3lr. Sutton Had Lost Heavily in Stocks. Fought Doctors Who Worked to Save His Life. The Los Angeles Express of May 15 con tains the following: C. S. Sutton is no longer auditor of the Santa Fe lines in this jurisdiction, hav ing yesterday been succeeded by Li. Miller, who has been chief clerk in the ofrice for several years. Mr. Miller is. however, acting but temporarily. The permanent appointee for the place will rot be announced for several days. Mr. Sutton tried to end his life by mor phine last Saturday night. That fact was known to his friends several days afro. They, however, hoped to keep the details from the public In the expectation that by a suppression of the news Mr. Sutton miht be allowed to retain his position. There have been several stories atloat upon the subject ever since Monday, near ly all retailed by Mr. Sutton's neighbors out on West Twenty-third street, where the late auditor of the Santa Fe resides, and some of this gossip has reached Santa Fe headquarters in Chicago and has been flashed back by wire to Los Angeles. One story from this source is that the company's late auditor of its western lines lias been speculating in Wall street arivl that he is snort in his accounts, ami b'irin unable to conceal the facts any longer he had decided in desperation to end his life. This lory was positively denied at Santa Ke headquarters in this city to day, as was also the further statement that Mr. Sutton owed his forced resigna tion to the fact that he had permitted certain vouchers, u hich should not have been paid, to slip through his ofhce. It is further oemed here that Mr. Sut ton has b'-en reiieved because of any thing wrung in the conduct of his oftic? iind as proof of this denial it is positivelv stated that Mr. Sutton was not relieved from duty until late yesterday, when tel egraphic orders reached here from Chi cago, suspending the late auditor, and turning his otlice over to Lu Miller, his late chief clerk. It is pointed out in proof of these de rails that the company's auditor does not personally handle any funds of the company, so that he could not possibly be short in his accounts. That he has ben dismissed is. however, conceded. a3 is also the tact that his experience sinco last Saturday night is the result of a de liberate attempt at suicide, brought on. it is Insisted, because of domestic difficul ties, and for no other reason. general Manager Wells of the western Santa 1-' lines is in San Francisco and ail information was positively refused terday from his ofiice. Chief Clerk Fred B. Henderson insisting that he was un authorized to discuss the matter from any standpoint and deploring the fact that any of the details in the unfortu nate circumstances had to be made public at all. Mr. Henderson did sav emphatically that the late auditor was not short in his accounts, and he also took occasion to deny the rumors that Mr. Sutton had been cauuht In the re cent Wail street squeeze; that any offi cers of the system are en their way to Ls Angeles to overhaul Mr. Sutton's books, or that he is no longer in the company's employ because of anv of these alleged tacts. The official state ments appear to be borne out by the facts, for Mr. Sutton was not relieved from the duties o his present position until yesterday, four davs after his un successful attempt upon his life. Ho could not. therefore, have tried to com mit suicide because of a reason which did not then exist. C. H. Whitehead, general auditor of tho Santa Fe system, is now on his wav to L,os Angeles. He is due here tomorrow, and is coming alone. It is admitted that his visit is in connection wit it the retire ment of Mr. Sutton from the company's employ, but his overhauling of the books of the latter is stated to be a customarv proceeding. always incidental upon such a change as the one that has just been made. It is stated that Mr. Sutton was dronned out because the comnanv realized that, in view of his attempt at self-destruction, his usefulness as a Santa Fe employe had, for the time bein. ended. The domestic difficulties between the Suttons are said to have originated at To peka. which was the husband's station before he was promoted to tile Los An geles ofrice one year ago. The two tinaliv separated. tnd Mr. Sutton, who was verv fond of his wife, is stated to have brooded ov'T his troubles until he became convict ed that life no longer hail any attractions for him. He was reported as being out of danger today. Charles S- Sutton Is a native of Cam bridge. England, and began his railroad carter as a messt nger boy with the New Orleans Mobile railwav in 170. tie first entered the service of the Santa Fe in 3mi as, chief clerk of disbursements. U later went to the New York and New K.igland. and in Januarv, 17, returned to the Santa Fe and California. When that line consolidated with the Santa Fe proper Mr. Sutton was made auditor ot ir-:sht receipts. He was promoted to chief auditor of the company's western lines last June, succeeding W. K. liailev now assistant general auditor of the whole Santa Fe system. The Los Angeles Times says: "C. S. Sutton, auditor of the" Santa Fe railroad lines west of Albuquerque, is at his home at Twenty-third street recover ing from an overdose of morphine taken Sunday evening. Tr. Fred K. Sutton, assistant surgeon Of the Santa 1-e. w ith others, worked from i p. m. to daylight next morning to save the hie of the auditor. The doctor end the auditor, though ot" the same name, are not relatives. "Since Monday morning there were ru mors on the street that a prominent busi ness man. who had lost heavilv in stock had attempted suicide and had fought vigorously against ail efforts to save "his life. 'His associates In the Santa Fe offices all tefuse to discuss tiie unfortunate af fair, and they will not r.dmit that thev know- anything of the facts. Thev speak in the highest terms of the auditor and ell hope mat his close approach to death's door will deter him from any subseau-'nt mistake ot this character.'" The report current In Toneka is to the effect that in the permanent retirement f C. s Sutton, as auditor of the Santa Fe-Pacine, J. S. Jennings, auditor of the Colorado, Gulf Santa Fe. will succeed xlr- "tton at Los Aneeles ami that J. W V hue chief clerk of I. S. Lauck, aud itor oi disbursements at Topeka will suc ceed Mr. Jennings at Galveston. In the general offices of the Santa Fe here but little is known of the attempt of C. S. Sutton to commit suicide, be yond what is contained in the newspa per reports. It is admitted that the business of his department is now in the hands of his chief clerk and that J W Whitehead, the general auditor, is on his way from Chicago to Los An gelas. Since? the attempt at self-destruction as at first reported, rumors have been life concerning previous attempts made ill-. Sutton lived in Topeka. Years ago while ho was a clerk here. It is said, he first threatened or actually atte.Tipted suicide; and again later it is given on credible authority that ho locked himself in the bathroom and threatened to kill himself. These dif ficulties, however, were covered up by his friends so that they were never made public. Expressions of regret at the occur rence are general among the officials who knew Mr. Sutton, and the hope is held out that he may still be able to clear up matters and Anally be rein stated. He is regarded as an exception ally competent accountant, and it is believed that nothing but domestic dif ficulties have led up to the late occur rence. Mrs. Sutton was In Chicago until a week ago, and it is thought is still there. SOLDIEliS ARE COMING. Battery of TJ. S. Artillery Will Arrive In Topeka Thursday.

Only Two Firms in New York Refuse Nine Hour Day. Strikers Returning to Work Satisfied in Cincinnati. Washington, May 21. The storm cen ters of the general strike of machinists throughout the country today are in the vicinity of Cincinnati, O., and on the Pacific coast.

Save in one or two in stances, as at Seranton, the allied trades have not yet been affected. It is claimed at general headquarters of the machinists, however, that where agreements are not effected by this af ternoon or tomorrow many of the men in the allied trades will go out in the individual shops where the machinists already are out.

The indications ae that the great majority of firms will have reached agreements with the men today or tomorrow. The dispatcher coming in from various cities indicate that conferences will be held today with a large number of firms. Many men who were working yesterday went out today. The additions made last night and this morning to the list of strik,eri and the number that will return to wor'.t this morning with ineir demands grant ed will about balance each other." Today's reports show that only three railroads in the United States are now affected by the strike, namely the Cen tral Vermont. Lehigh Valley and Dela ware, Lackawanna Western. The sit uation, according to reports received to day at headquarters is summarized as follows: Practically all the trouble between Kansas City and the Pacific coast has been adjusted.

At a special Jt ing of the directors of the Chicago board of trade today the Peavey Elevator "B" was declared irregular pending an in vestigation of charges made by Slaugh ter Co., to the effect that grain stored in the elevator was not regular. The an nouncement caused a stir on the board as the action is said to be without pre cedent. Following is the notice sent by Slaughter Co. to Secretary Stone of the board of trade: "Aa the Peavey Grain company can not or will not deliver No. 2 corn for which we now hold loading orders, we hereby notify you we will not receive as regular delivery any wheat or corn in Peavey Elevator "B" on regular con tracts made on Chicago board of trade." These charges are said to be the direct result of the Phillips deal in May corn. The Peavey company, it is said, ten dered to Phillips on delivery warehouse receipts calling for 648,000 bushels of No. 2 corn. Slaughter Co. applied for this corn on loading orders from Phil lips, but the grain offered out of Ele vator "B" was refused on the ground that It was not up to contract grade. As a result of the directors' action none of the 607,000 bushels of corn in the ele vator can be delivered and therefore a new excitement was fomented in May corn. Most of the grain in Elevator "B" is said to have come from private ware houses and an investigation as to how it passed inspection is among the prob abilities. In this elevator are also 428, 000 bushels of wheat and 163,000 bushels of oats. TROOPS TO RETURN. Half Dozen Vessels to Bring Home Tolunteers. Washington, May 21.

AYRES. Mrs.LuIu Bonine Says She Killed Pension Clerk Ayres Who Died From Pistol Wounds in a Washington Hotel. NOT PREMEDITATED. Was Lured to His Room by the Young Man Who Then Threatened Her With a Kevolver. Washington. May 21. The mystery at tending the killing of James Seymour Ayres, a census office clerk, in the K-n-more hotel early Wednesday morning, and which because of the peculiar cir cumstances surrounding it. has aroused Washington more than ivny tragedy in several years, has been solved by a volun tary confession from Mrs. Lulu I. Bonine, a married woman and a guest at tha house, that she had fired the three shots which ended Ayres' lite. Mrs. Bonine was entirely self-possessed, when she made her confession, and did not exhibit any evidence of either present or past unusual excitement. She is appar ently about 32 years of age and says she; was born in Macon, Mo. She then moved to Hamilton, in the same state, and after wards to Richmond, where her husband, was engaged in the ug business. Sub sequently she went to Brunswick. Ga..aml then to Florida, where her husband was engaged in orange growing. She says that it was at her husband's solicitation that she learned to practice with a re volver, and that he had made the sugges tion that she should learn this art for self-defense against possible assaults. She said she had twice in her life tired a re volver to frighten burglars, and that she had brought a bulldog revolver with her to Washington, but had given it away to a negro man. After her statement, which was made to the chief of police and a number of other officials, Mrs. Bonine was placed under arrest and taken to the house of detention, where she will be held pending the result of the coroner's inquest, whioh has been in session since Saturday and at which Mrs. Bonine was to have ap peared at a witness. The tragedy which resulted in Ayres death became known about half past S o'clock last Wednesday morning, when his dead body was found in his room at the Kenmore. a small family hotel of moderate prices, situated not far from the capitoi. The dead man's full name was James Seymour Ayres. He was between 20 and 21 years of age and lived in Port Austin, Mich., before coming to Washing ton as a clerk in the census office. His father is a man of some standing in Re publican state politics in Michigan. An examination of Ayres' body showed that he had been shot three times, one ball entering the left leg. another the left arm, and the third penetrating the heart and causing death. Suicide was the first theorv advanced. but statements from two witnesses that on the night of the murder they had seen a woman descending a tire escape leading lrom in tront ot Ayres room at the hotel and disappear into the parlor of the house, ended this theory and the killing quickly developed into a mys terious and sensational affair that baf fled the police. The police were hamper ed m tneir etrorts to nnn tne person wno did the killing from the fact that it was eight hours after the crime was com mitted before It was reported to them. The whole detective force was put to work on the case and gradually farts were developed which pointed to Mrs. Bo nine as the guest of the hotel with whom Avres had been on very friendly terms arid with whom he had had a falling out. Saturday the coroner began his inquest, summoning guests and employes of the hotel, experts and others, but no substan tial clue was found to connect any per son specifically with the tragedy. The in quest had developed nothing directly bearing on the tragedy except that Mrs. Bonine was much in Ayres' room, when it was suddenly adjourned on information that the district attorney and others were wanted at police headquarters to hear a statement made by Mrs. Bonine. Detective Ed Horne, who was assigned to observe Mrs. Bonine s doings and to keeo in as close communication with her as possible, had subjected her to several rigid examinations, but without result until she told her story, to him in his pro vate capacity and then asked his advice as to what was the best course to pursue under the circumstances. He promptly ad vised her to tell all she knew, and in the presence of District Attorney Gould and the detective she again told the story of the deed in her own words. Mr. Gould would make no promises as to immunity from punishment, however, and arrange ments were made for a complete and full recital of the deed at the office of Major Svlvester, the superintendent of police. Before going to police headquarters, how ever, Mrs. Bonine a.ked that she be al lowed to tell the story to her husband, who was at the police station at the time. She was permitted to do so. She as serted wTith much feeling that she went to Ayres' room simply at the latter's re quest, and without any evil intentions. She then went to police headquarters where a stenographic report was taken cf what she had to say. Her statement was entirely voluntary and during its recital she appeared perfectly calm and collected. Its substance as related by Major Syl vester, chief of police, is as follows: Mrs. Bonine acknowledged that she was present when the shooting occurred. She said that pome time prior to March 4 there had been a disagreement betweon herself and Ayres and that their friendly relations had been broken until the morn ing before the tragedy, when she became friendly with him again. She said sho had no watch or clock to tell the time, but some time in the morning, presumabiv about 2 o'clock, Ayres knocked on her door. She opened it and he told her he thought he was going to have a chill and wanted to know if she had anything that would prevent it. She said that she thought she had some laxative quinine and went to her boy's room, adjoining hers, to get it. In the meantime he was standing in the hall. He was dressed in his trousers, coat and undershirt. When she came back she paid she could not find the quinine. Ayer.s threw his arm over her shoulder and asked her if she would not come to his room where they would talk over their differences. To this she assented, saying she would go as soon as she could dress herself. She had been in bed in her night robe when he aroused her by knocking at the door and went to the door in her night robe. Ayres left her then and went back to his room. She dressed herself, putting on all her clothing except her corsets, including a wrapper. She then went to his room, opened the door and entered. Ayres stood behind the door and as soon as she entered he slammed it and bolted the lock He was attired only in his undershirt and had a revolver in his right hand. She was very much agi tated and attempted to make a break toward the window to get out. He went over and threw his left erm around her saying: "I guess you will listen to me now." Ayres still had the pistol In his right hand. She grabbed it with her right hand and threw it u: and it went off. In the struggle which followed she got hold of the weapon with both hands. She does not know how many shots were fired and does not rememBer anything about what took place until Ayres fell over against her and his blood spurted over her shoulders. Mrs. Bonine said it was she who cried for helD and moaned. Miss Minas.who occupied the next room, had testified to hearing moans but said she was too frightened to give an alarm. Mrs. Bonine then went through the win dow and down the fire escape to the sec ond floor, where there is a landing. She passed through the parlor and upstairs to her room on the fourth floor. She then washed hor hands and the wrapper which she wore. Mrs. Bonine declared that she had never been intimate with Ayr s, but that when she went into the room that night he made a proposition to her which she resented. This was the first time he had ever made such a proposition. Prior to March 4 he had sometimes ben affec tionate in his remarks, but had never made any sort of improper proposition. She said that the reason why she had never said anything about the crime before was that she wanted to preserve the good name of her two boys. Mrs. Bo nine's statement will be submitted to the coroner's jury and on their verdict will depend the course to be pursued toward Mrs. Bonine. She has engaged an attorney. MRS. BONINE HELD TO GRAND JURY. "Washington, May 21. The coroner's jury that has been investigating the murder of James S. Ayres, the census office clerk, returned a verdict this af ternoon to the effect that Ayres was killed during a conflict between himself and Mrs. Lola Ida Henri Bonine.

McNeal Delivers the Ad dress of Welcome. ?IUCH MISUNDERSTOOD. Says People Do Not Appreciate the Druggist. Reception For Visitors and Ban quet Tonight. The delegates to the twentv-soooml annual convention of the Kuiu-ia I'u.ir maceutical association are in session here today. The sessions today opened with prayer by Rev. A. S. Kmbree at 10 o'clock. He was followed by T. A. McNeal who ma H; the address of welcome Mr McNeal said "We seem to be the dentures of habit, and to be influenced by heredity. This is probably true of the human, but more so in the lower animals. You have prob ably noticed that when the she her.l iltx lies down in the evening he ft.ilov.s his tall around several times. TIkiv is ar parentiy no reason for his so U"ing. it is simply a habit of hereuity. Were u e to take the trouble to truce back we would find that when the wolf lived in the high grass counties he trarnt'l.Mi around several times to nuike a 'l';;i' space in which to lie down. When ics became civilized and lived in civiiiz-d countries they had no need to make their resting place in that mnnriT but the habit has clung to them to :his day. "Several hundred years aso it was the custom to have all the cities surrounded byi stone wall. These wails were pro vided with draw bridges. And w Ivn an outfit was seen approaching the city a courier would be sent out to learn Ue cause of the visit of the party. If every thing was satisfactory the bridges would be let down over the trenches winch were dug on the outside of the wail and filled with water, and the people wouid be allowed to pass into the city. As they would enter the city the warden on tne top of the wail would call a welcom-" to them. There has been nothing like that for a long per iod of time f.r th reason that those conditions have cenjvd to ex ist.

NOW IN GRAND SHAPE Goes Route on Heavy Track and Is Anxious For More. McJIeekin's Chances Are Con sidered Good by Many. New York, May 21. Will Banastar win the Brooklyn handicap? The event will be run four days hence. Candidates for the classic contest lack but their final trial, which will be given them either Wednesday or Thursday, to com plete their preparation. Banastar had a preliminary trial yesterday before the first race at Morris park. With a sta ble boy up he was sent a mile and a quarter in 2:13. The track was heavy, yet he finished with mouth wide open and fighting for the bit. Horsemen await his performance on Saturday with eager ness. Following are the probable starters in the great classic: Banastar (122) Odom McMeekin (.116) O'Connor Standing (113 y.Piggott Alcedo (112) Walsh Rafaello (111) Mitchell S. Lucas (110) Van Dusen Star Bright (110) Burns Gulden (10) Henry Brigadier (104) Mounce K. Bramble (104) Bullman Bonnibert (100) Landry Watercure (100) Shaw Withers (100) Slack Herbert (90) Smith Bellario (MS) Brennan If Banastar is beaten his conqueror will be McMeekin. No apparent effort has been made to keep from the public MeMeekirr's good condition. He had a public trial for the race in a mile dash Saturday at Morris park. He defeated Star Bright, a facjtor, trainers Bay, for the big event. O'Connor held him under restraint until the stretch before he gave him his head. The game little son of Fonso ran into the lead easily and won by a length and a half. As a line on his form it was significant. He car ried 122 pounds in the race. His allot ment is six pounds less in the handicap. The distance of Saturday's race, how ever, is more to his fancy than in the handicap. i McMeekin can go a mile and a quarter. If it is conceded that Banastar's chance is first in the big race McMeekin is certainlv the contender. Many critics urefer him to Clarence Mackay'a great horse. He Is a game, consistent horse and can be relied on to do his best. "The thoroughbred that beats Mc Meekin will win the Brooklyn handicap," said a prominent trainer today. His opinion is shared by many. Sntiirilav's race also served as an in dication of the latter's chances. Star Bright was "off" or it is possible he does not come to hand early. Last year he never faced the flag till late. Tne w nu-na-u- hni-co Via been afflicted for some time with a cold, which manifested itself in an aggravating cough. Trainer Rogers has worked assiduous ly over his charge. The race was in no wise disappointing to the statue. Mr. Rogers said today that the contest had served its purpose, proved that Star Blight's condition was progressing and gave encouragement that the son of Ain tree would give the best of the handicap candidates a bruising race. M'GRAW TO DRAW OUT. Johnson's Suspension May Drive Him From Active Baseball. Baltimore.May 21. Ban Johnson's ac tion in suspending John McGraw, one of the leaders and chief promoters ot tne new American league, will cause trou ble for the magnates in the new organ ization. It will certainly lead to a re organization of the corns of umpires and one or two will be dropped. A friend of McGraw'a says that he will probably withdraw from the game altogether and only act as manager. McGraw does not play ball for a living, but only through love of the game and a desire to please the patrons of the sport in this city. His aggressive man ner and hot temper are well known to all who have seen him play. His recent disputes with umpires are no worse than he has had hundreds of times be fore. McGraw has released Pitcher Yerkes unconditionally. pitcher Pfister has been released to the Marion, Ind., team BOSTON WANTS EXISTING. The Pitcher,However,Refuses toJump Quinn and Havener Sue Him.

The Boston National League club offers Husting $1,000 to jump his contract with the Milwaukee club and Quinn and Havener are to- receive the extra $500 'f Husting signs with Boston. Husting de clines and will fight the case. BASEBALL AT EMPORIA. Normal Wins Third Game of Series From the College. Kmporia, Kan., May 21.

Th3 former was made a prohibitive favorite with Dissenter a strong second choice. Dissenter made the running to the far turn, where Wax Taper went to the fore and won easily by a strength, Dissenter finishing- eight lengths in front of Felix Bard.

Jimmy Manning will succeed "Bo" Needham as secretary of the Senators He will still hold the jobs of manager and treasurer. St. Louis fans have nicknamed their team "rag-time comedians," and refer to their exhibitions on the diamond as "throwing spasms." Jim McGuire thinks that Brooklyn will be so far ahead of the rest of the crowd in August that the Champa ct.n all take a vacation. i After the Philadelphia series, when the east will meet the west on the lat ter's preserves, there will undoubtedly be a large amount of fur flying. Manager McAleer, of Cleveland.is try ing to trade some of his men, but as he has not very good material to offer, he is not meeting with much success. Ted Sullivan, the veteran base-ball promoter, announces that he will not be connected with the Oshkosh team of the Wisconsin League this summer. The directors of the Columbus base ball team have released Manager Gard ner and placed Catcher Zinran in charge of the club as temporary mana ger. The papers generally throughout the country are commending the American League umpires for sticking to the rules and relegating men to the bench on the slightest provocation. Catcher M.ike Kahoe, of the Cincinnati team, declared last evening that he ex pected to join the Pitt&burg team as soon as his ten days' notice of release from the Cincinnati club expired. Among other things, Amos Rusie is using an electric battery to get his arm in condition. He said today that he would be good and strong and make his eastern debut in New York next Satur day.

Charles (Truck) Eagan, the infielder released by the Pittsburg club last week stated that he had accepted the terms of Connie Mack of the Philadelphia American League team, refusing the Columbus offer. Eagan will join the Athletics next week. Manager Griffith gave- Henry Reltz his release and the player will probably return to Baltimore. With both Mc Farland and Mertes hitting well, Grif fith was not w illing to take chances of breaking a good combination by trying Reitz at secotid. President Johnson of the American League, has issued a notice of suspen sion to Manager John McGraw, of the Baltimore club, for a period of five days the susrension to take effect at once.

A "Dove Party" was held Saturday night at a Harrison street residence. Just why it was called a Dove" party has not been explained. "Webster's def inition of "dove" does not reveal to those who have made a systematic re search why the gentle sounding name was chosen. It might have been called a bifurcated gathering of congenial spirits just as well perhaps with a good deal more meaning to the name. There were sixteen young ladies there, no matter what the party was called. It is nothing' unusual for sixteen young ladies, or old ladies for that matter, to gather for a little afternoon tea. a little, or perhaps a good deal, of gossip, and it is nothing unusual for sixteen girls to get together to decry the tendency of the present generation of young Amer ica to tease them with mice and bugs. These sixteen young ladies, however, were dressed in boys" clothes. Perhaps that's why it was called a "Dove Party." The little affair was pulled off Saturday evening and nobody was sup posed to know anything about it ex cept those who were in it. The neigh borhood had been ransacked and every big brother's wardrobe had been "touched" for a full outfit. The sixteen members of the "Dove Party" bunched up for the breakaway at S o'clock sharp. They had journeyed to the home of the sixteenth member of the dovecote clad in the bifurcated garments of their brothers, their papas and their best fellows, but over all they wore their usual every-day skirts. Like a coterie of jockeys, they stepped into the weigher's room at 7:43, weighed in and donned their regalia, or. rather, doffed their skirts, and just as the start er's bell rang at S o'clock they stepped from the paddock like so many Johnny Reiffs or Tod Sloans or "Snapper" Gar risons ready for the starter's flag. They were a little shy at first and had to be called back, but after they had said "how pimply great," and "isn't Nellie's outfit just grand," they commenced to warm up a little and the fun com menced. One little miss who carries a fifth reader under her arm five days in the week was attired in a suit of flannel. Two sisters were there. "They both wore suits of gray." Another had a very loud plaid vest and a pair of striped trousers, and one was a shirt waist man. They started in sliding down the banister with screams anil giggles and danger to their costumes. Then they gathered 'round just like so many men folks, college men, leaned on the mantel, lounged in big chairs, hammered a few popular strains out of the piano and talked about foot ball, base ball, basket ball, hand ball and things that were not balls at all. Tney were having "just the best time you ever heard of" along about 11 p. m. when the alarm was sounded that the house was surrounded: not by the po lice, but by the envious young men who may have been part owners of some of the wardrobes. Anyway, the doors and windows were hurriedly lock ed and the shades drawn. Supper was announced and they all tried "a good story by a good fellow." They did not tackle cigarettes and wine, but stuck to cheese straws and lemon ade, with a few ham sandwiches as a layer just in between. They kept it up until 12 o'clock and quit the game singing "We Won't Go Home Until Morning." And not a one of them told anybody about it until they woke up next morning and saw someone.

I BAILROAlH.EiyS, Wabash Cansing Trouble Over Western Passenger Kates. lias Made Its Own Figures on Rates East of Kansas City. OFFICIALS TO MEET. Eastern and Western Men Will Discuss the Situation. Santa Fe Getting Oat Program For Ottawa Chautauqua. For some time the Wabash has been causing a good deal of trouble among western railroads by the low rate which it has been offering from Kansas City eastward. The persistency with which the Wabash has made its own figures has caused western passenger men much trouble and now threatens to spread even to the eastern roads. Eastern and western passenger offi cials will meet in Chicago next Friday to discuss rates via standard and dif ferential lines from Kansas City to New York. The Wabash rate of $22.40 over differential lines which went into efTect on Saturday has been met by its com petitors and will be followed by a fur ther reduction on the part of the WTa bash in order to preserve its differen tial. "The conference of passenger offi cials is only preliminary to a meeting of the presidents of the railroads." said a passenger official of one of the west ern lines. "It is a foregone conclusion that all the lines in competition with the Wabash from Kansas City to St. Louis and Chicago will not permit it to offer lower rates to eastern points than they do. The Wabash will hardly agree to surrender its differential from Kan sas City, for that would amount to an acknowledgment that the differential principle is wrong Undoubtedly the eastern railroads now enjoying differ ential rates will propose to the western lines that the question of the right ot the Wabash to differentials from Kan sas City be submitted to arbitration. "The reply of the western passenger officials will be that they are not auth orized to consent to arbitration of the question. This probably will end the conference of the eastern and western roads. The latter will continue to meet the lowest rate made by the Wabash. The fight over differentials, in all proba bility, will then be taken up by the presidents of the eastern lines. They can hardly do anything but agree to ai bitrate the question of differentials, as by that manner differentials came into existence. The indications are that they are soon to pass out of existence, and be succeeded by graded rates, according to the speed of through trains, all lines to be subject to a general rule." OTTAWA ASSEMBLY PROGRAM. Santa Fe Getting1 Out an Interesting Program For Ottawa Chautauqua. The Santa Fe Is getting out the pro gramme for the Ottawa Chautauqua assembly.

Santa Fe Improving at Atchison. Atchison, May 21. A Santa Fe con struction gang of a hundred men lias arrived from Topeka and are engaged in grading the wagon road on the south side of the Santa Fe tracks from Fifth street to the viaduct. The dirt is being loaded on ears, and it will be hauled three miles out of town and dumrjad. Forty cars of macadam will be put down along the road, making it almost as good as a paved street. The Santa Fe is doing it out of consideration for its customers who haul from cars stand ing along the road. i i RAILROAD NOTES The general offices of the Memphis are to be moved from Kansas City to St. Louis, and from there the road will be operated as a part of the 'Frisco system. This information was given out at Kan sas City yesterday by President B. F. Yoakum of the 'Ftisco. The body of Engineer Harry Stafford, w ho was killed in a wreck on the Union Pacific near Sharon Springs last week, has been recovered and was shipped to Steven's Point. Wis., today for burial. The Santa Fe and Missouri Pacific are on a deal for certain track privileges at Kansas City. The Santa Fe will have the use of the Missouri Pacific tracks for running its through trains in and out of the Union depot, and will therefore abandon the use of the Y in the south western part of the city. Under the present arrangement the Santa Fe loses about 30 minutes in getting its trains in to the union depot.

One of the Kansas City morning dailies printed the following story of Major Anderson of the Topeka Com mercial club: "It has always been a mystery to Major Tom Anderson, of Topeka, why he was not appointed pension agent by President McKinley four years ago. He had a barrel of indorsements of all kinds and felt sure of getting the place. But he didn't, and thereby hangs a tale. Major Anderson nettled McKinley one time, although he doesn't know it to this day, and that is the reason his ap plication for pension agent was not given much consideration. In 1SH4 Mc Kinley, while governor of Ohio, made a swing around the circle. He w as fixing up his fences for the presidential nom ination at that time. He spent a cou ple of days in Kansas making rear plat form speeches. He went west through the state over one of the railroads along the southern border. Cyrus Leland was in charge of the train. McKinley fixed up a scheme with Leland concerning the movement of the train. When Mc Kinley pulled a handkerchief from his pocket while making a speech it was the signal for Leland to start the train. This was done to avoid long speeches and handshaking. Leland obeyed orders. The next day the McKinley party struck the Rock Island road, and Major Ander son took charge of the train. McKinley gave him the same instructions, but the major didn't pay any attention to them. He ran the train to suit himself and Mc Kinley became almost exhausted from making long speeches and shaking hands. Finally it became unbearable and he had Joe Smith, of Ohio, who was along, calLMajor Anderson down. Then to add to ?he blaze Major Anderson had his Modoc club serenade McKinley when the latter was tired and didn't want to be bothered. "McKinley was elected president, and in due time Major Anderson put in his application for pension agent and backed it up with a big bunch of strong indorsements. The president reached that appointment one day and called for the various applications. Joe Smith was present at the time. 'Who is this Major Anderson?' Mc Kinley asked Smith, as he reached his application. 'He's the fellow that wouldn't run the train to suit you in Kansas,' re plied Smith. 'That's enough, said the president. 'Major Anderson will never be pension agent while I am president.' He laid the major's application aside and the major didn't get the position." A reporter who happened to stroll into Major Anderson's office asked him if he had seen the story printed above. "Well I should say I did," the major answered. "Some one was reading' it in here this morning and upon its comple tion a horse which was hitched to the telegraph pole down in front was heard to utter a loud guffaw. "The facts in that case happen to be just the reverse than is told in that story." he continued. "'When I left the president at Omaha his last words to me were to 'See that Leland got right.' EXTENDING THE MAINS. Edison Company Enlarging Its Heat ing Capacity. Steam pipes are being laid this week by the Edison Light and Heating com pany through the alleys bounded by Jackson, Kansas avenue and Quincy street and Seventh, Eighth and Ninth streets.

PROTESTORS ARE AHEAD. Beat Petitioners in the Block Between Fourth and Fifth on Fillmore. People are so eager to object to more paving that they are beginning to file protests against the paving before the petition comes in.

To Prove what Swamp-Root will do for YOU, Every Reader of the State Journal May Have a Sample Bottle Sent. Free by Alail. It used to be considered that only urinary and bladder troubles were to be traced to the kidneys, but now modern science proves that nearly all diseases have their beginning in the disorder of these most important organs. The kidneys filter and purify the blood that is their work.

If you are sick or "feel badly," begin taking the famous new discovery. Dr. Kilmer's Swamp-Root, because as soon as your kidneys are well they will help all the other organs to health. A trial will convince anyone. Among xhe many famous cures of Swamp-Root investigated by interested persons, the one which we publish this week for the benefit of our readers speaks in the highest terms of the wonderful cur ative properties of this great remedy.

All symp toms were on hand; my former strength and Dower had left me: I could hardly drag my self along. Even my mental ca pacity was giving out. and often 1 wished to die. It was then I saw an advertise ment of yours in a New York paper, but would not have paid any attention to it, had it not promised a sworn guarantee with every bottle of your medicine, as serting that your Swamp-Root is purely vegetable. and does not contain any harm ful drutrs. I am seventy years and four months old, and with a good conscience I can recommend Swamp-Root to all suf ferers from kidney troubles. Four mem bers of my family have been usinK Swamp-Root for four different kidney dis eases with the same good results." Truly yours, ROBERT liKKXKH. Weak and unhealthy kidneys are re sponsible for many kinds of diseases, and if permitted to continue much suf fering with fatal results are sure to follow. Kidney trouble irritates the nerves, makes you dizzy, restless, sleep less and irritable. Makes you pass water often during the day and pbliges you to get up many times during the night. Unhealthy kidneys cause rheu matism, gravel, catarrh of the bladder, pain or dull ache in the back, joints and muscles; makes your head ache and back ache, causes indigestion, stomach and liver trouble, you get a sallow, yellow complexion, makes you f"s 1 as though you had heart trouble; you may have plenty of ambition, but no strength; get weak and waste away. In taking Swamp-Root you afford natural help to Nature, for Swamp-Root is the most perfect healer and gentle aid to the kidneys that is known to med ical science. Many women suffer untold misery because the nature of their disease is not correctly understood; in most cases they are led to believe that wmnto trouble or female weakness of some sort is responsible for their many ills, when in fact disordered kidneys are the chief cause of their distressing troubles. If there is any doubt in your mind as to your condition, take from your urine on rising about four ounces, place it in a glass or bottle and let it stand twenty-four hours. If on examination it is milky or cloudy, if there is a brii It dust settling, or if small particles float about in it, your kidneys are in need of Immediate attention. If you are already convinced that Swamp-Root is what you need, you can purchase the regular fifty-cent and one-dollar size bottles at the drug stores everywhere. EDITORIAL NOTE. Swamp-Root, the great Kidney, Liver and Blad der remedy, is so remarkably successful that a special arrangement has bt en made by which all readers of the State Journal who have not already tried it. may have a sample botle sent absolutely free by mail. Also a book telling all about kidney and bladder troubles and containing many of the thousands upon thousands of testimonial letters received from men and women cured by Swamp-Root.

The Sheldon theory that the demand for hired giris exceeds the supply is being exemplified by the free employ ment agency here. The agency has on file a dozen requests from people who want hired girls for plain and fancy housework. There are no takers. On the other hand, there are scores of men registered for all sorts of work from farming to electrical engineering, and the demand for their services is only steady, to use market report slang. WAST ICE CUE AM. Demand Continues to Increase Says a Local Sealer. "We have ordered 150,000 wooden dishes for our trade this year, and ex pect to use them all before the summer is over," said the proprietor of a well known ice cream firm. "We run seven wagons during the Ice cream season," continued the ice cream man. "I think that the wagon trade is not quite as heavy as it once was. Our week day trade holds up about as well as it has, but the Sunday trade is not as big as it used to be. Nowadays our wagons only get about $20 each on Sun day. However, the order business is much heavier than it used to be. We send a great deal of ice cream out into the country to picnics and parties." The city charges a license fee of $3 apiece for ice cream wagons. The license is good for three months. nisi! sis 1 1 Eiif iiiiiissisfi f esczarixsiaisitojLi; yet u." 1 T iifnt I asaa.H.JlH. I.

Tncine Of io Bell 'phnne lr7 It-porters' Room Be" 'phone 677 The Fan-Ami-riran exposition is now Cinol so that it will stay open on all clays except Sunday. Chicago nfvfpupt'rs are congratulat ing the citizens on the fact that there hasn't been a prairie fire in the city this The allegation that there are as good f:sh in the water as ever were caught can't be true if the word of the fisher man be taken. American Roods have become so pop ular in foreign markets that Japan has applied to Philadelphia for her best fig vires on jinrickshas. The time has come for the British Populists to rebel against the domina tion of Wall street in the financial af fairs of the i:nited Kingdom. Senator Quay says he never will hold mother of lice, but if Senator Hanna Should become a candidate for presi dent the Keystone statesman may yet be heard from in politics. Andrew Carnegie has contributed 510.000, 000 to four universities in his na tive land for the free education of Scotchman. Xn Irish need apply; nor JCnglishnen, for that matter. Europe has gone into the globe-trotting" business on a large scale. Four newspaper correspondents representing as many big dailies will see who can make the best time girdling: the earth. The Cuban committee from the con stitutional convention after listening attentively to ail the president had to say to them while in Washington, went home and reported in favor of having him put it in writing. The machinists employed in the Vnion Iron Works at San Francisco gave careful attention to what President Mc Kinley said to them on Saturday and on Monday they struck along with their brother machinists throughout the country. Buffalo News: The railroads are shar ing largely in the general prosperity of the country. The Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe Railroad company has just placed an order for all the locomotives that the International Power company, with its big plants at Providence and Paterson, can turn out during the next year. Henry Clews: "Fortunately, the Fhock in Wall street has scarcely had a momentary effect upon industrial and commercial interests. The harvest prospects are encouraging and the south and wDst still maintain their ex traordinary prosperity. Credit opera tions are'in a sound and healthy condi tion. The money market, though sub ject to a healthy demand, is backed by unprecedented loanable resources. For the moment, gold is going to Europe, not, however, from any adverse com mercial movenent, but rather on ac count of exchange operations tending to placeAmerican balances at the serv ice of foreign markets. The April re port of the bureau of statistics shows a continued increase in the exports, and the total foreign trade of the fiscal year 1000-01 is expec ted to show an ex cess of exports over imports amounting to $700.000,000 the largest creditor bal ance in the history of our foreign com merce. Globe Democrat: Reports from Kan tas show that that state is reveling in prosperity. The biggest wheat crop ever gathered in that state is soon to be harvested, and there will be an active demand for men to gather it. Already there are estimates that the number of men from the outside of the state who will be needed In the Kansas harvest fields will be "0,000, and some of them "will be wanted in about three weeks. The wheat harvest out there will begin around June 10. and it will last till about the middle of July. In those five weeks the harvesters will move northward from the Oklahoma and Indian Terri tory line to the border of Nebraska. In the most recent monthly report of the department of agriculture Kansas stood at the head of the list for 1901 in wheat acreage and condition. The prospects are that it will not only have a larger crop than any other state, but that it w ill have a larger crop than it has ever harvested in the past. At the present prices for 'wheat this will mean great prosperity for Kansas. It will give em ployment during the harvest time to thousands of men from cutside the state, and the money which its farmers will receive for their crop will help to quick en all the state's branches of industry and trade. THE MACHINISTS, STRIKE. "What promises to be one of the great est strikes in the history of organized l:sbor was inaugurated yesterday. It has fcet-n ordered by the representatives of the Machinery and Allied Metal Trades Xational and International Union, who met in Washington last Tuesday. The demand is for a nine hour day. The number of men affected directly is about one hundred thousand, and in allied trades affected indirectly, one hundred and fifty thousand. Of these it is esti mated that 50.000 went out. The strike, it is said, will be backed by a fund of 1249.000 now on hand, and also by a weekly assessment of $r,O.0t'O. The strike U primarily among the machinists of. the country, but in case it is found nec essary to ceasie work it will extend throughout several branches of allied trades. At present the work day throughout the country among machin ists averages from nine and one-half to ten hours, and there is no fixed min imum of wage the minimum varying from 24 to 30 cents an hour in various cities. The machinists in some cities are asking for a raise in wages as well as a shortening of- hours. THE AUTHORS' EVENING." The Novel Entertainment For Wed nesday Evening.

Decision of Supreme Court Brings Water Case Before Court The bill in equity of Kansas against Colorado is filed in the United States suprene court. Judge West left the bill with the court and the decision al lowing the bill to be filed practically files it. It is up to Colorado now to enter a plea, demurrer or answer of some kind. No date has been set for a hearing or further argument. The fixing of that must rest until Colorado has answered. "I am sorry they did not give me a chance to make my talk to the court," said Judge West today. "I know it would have been irresistible. I was going to tell them that Kansas was a prohibition state and Colorado a whisky state, therefore even a high court could see it was wrong for a state that has all it wants to drink to deprive Kansas of its only legal beverage."" THEY USED DIVISION. Method of Jury to Determine Dam ages Is Questioned. A custom indulged in by Juries in damage suits cuts a figure in two ap peals brought into the supreme court today by the Metropolitan Street Rail way company of Kansas City. Ver dicts were given in the Wyandotte coun ty court to Maria E. Agnew and Edwin S. Agnew. her little son, in two separate cases. Mrs. Agnew was awarded $416 and the bey $400 damages. They were injured in a collision with a street car. Mrs. Aniew sued for J1.999 damages herself. The jurymen were wide apart on the amount of damages proper. So each juror wrote down the amount he thought right and the sum of them all was divided by twelve. This action of the jury is a big allegation in the peti tion in error. This point was brousrht before the supreme court once before but they put the contention to one side. $2.00. Kansas City and Keturn via Rock Island Route. Tickets on sale May 18 to 22 inclusive.

Secretary Root has approved the action of the board of officers at West Point which recom mended the dismissal of five cadets and the suspension of six others. This sus tains the course of Colonel Mills and the other officers in the recent disturbances at the academy. Colonel Mills, superintendent of the military academy had a long consulta tion with the secretary of war today rel ative to recent disorders among the ca -dents at West Point. The papers In the cases of the cadets who have been tried for offenses against the authorities have been in the department for some time. Superintendent Mills explained the condition at the academy, insisting that many of the published reports were exaggerated. The present difficulty grows out of the attempt to suppress hazing and the restrictions that have been made in this direction since Col. Mills became superintendent. The sup erintendent spoke in the highest terms of the cadets and thought it was only a question of a short time before the cus tomary conditions would be resumed. The matter of discipline was in question and that must be maintained. The sec retary was much interested in the state ment of Col. Mills. Gen. Davis, the next judge advocate of the army, who recent ly has been stationed at West Point was present during the greater portion of the interview. The papers in the cases that recently have been tried are to be considered and passed upon by General Davis. LOCAL MENTION. E. C. Childs of Cottonwood Falls is in Topeka. C. E.

Then people can begin to go to Vinewood for their picnics. The only complaint that the govern ment officials who have offices here have offered on the construction of the new addition to the postoffice is that the offi ces are not supplied with a wash bowl in each room.

"What the police believe was a daring attempt to rob the Cambridgeport National bank of this city by the use of dynamite, in broad daylight was revealed at 10:45 a. m. today by an explosion in the bank which blew out the side of the office, damaged other parts of the building and caused ex-Cashier William F. Roaf to sustain a bad wound on the head. If the explosion was a part of a plot to rob the bank the plan failed, for nothing of value was taken from the place. It is thought from the force of the concussion and other evidences that dynamite was used and that it may have been set off by a time fuse. the bank is in a four story brick structure in the business center of Cam bridge. The shock of the explosion was felt for several blocks, but no damage was done outside of the bank building. BOUTELLE ATBEST. Former Maine CongressinanDies in Insane Asylum. Boston, May 21.

The machinists' strike which is so general over the country is not likely in anyway to affect men employed on the Santa Fe here. The local machinists have no grievance, and with the conces sions which the company made last week it is entirely improbable that any strike will came.

It keeps tbe body strong by insuring plenty of nourishment. In fact, it means perfect health. But some thing must be done when the stomach is so tired that it can t digest what you eat, for undigested food poisons the blood. We can recommend a preparation that completely digests all classes of foods that is Kodol Dyspepsia Cube. It gives the stomach perfect rest and allows you to eat and enjoy the variety of food that is necessary for maintaining health. It never fails to cure indigestion, after everything tlse has failed. It 13 pleasant to take and can be used in all conditions. "For many years I suffered from chronic Indigestion, and It teemed as though nothing was going to do me any good. On the advice of a friend 1 commenced using Ivodol Dyspepsia Cure. It gave me immediate relief and I continued its use, until now I feel that I am cured." Henry F. Cramer, Wendelvllle, N.

The Journal of Ci'Tnmerce says: It is currently report ed that the Universal Tobacco company, which increased its authorized capital last week from JlOO.OoO to $10.000.0u0, is tu be an active competitor of both the American and the Continental Tobacco companies.

IN BEH GR1TITCDE SHE TELLS THE WORLD 1BDITTHIS BKTIEDV. To the fact that Smith's Grek MeuNTArs Rusotatob makes pure blood and strong nerTes is due its great popularity. When the blood is vitiated -with poi lous secretions, and when the nerves, acting in harmony -with the great life fluid, biaak down, any or all of the life maiataining organs are apt to succumb to disease. The -way to maiatain good health is to begin at the root of the trouble aud cure the cause. Make your blood pure, yeur nerves strong, and you will hud that every organ of the body will per form its function as it should, and a re turn to health is inevitable. Women especially, ate subject to cer tain disorders that make it necessary for then to pay particular attention to their health. Blood tronbles, in many instances, are the cause of these disor ders, and should be promptly treated, Be natter whether they have been in herited, or contracted in after life. The following is a very interesting letter coming from a Maine woman, which will explain itself: v. A than Fmiw Co., St. aHmm, Vt 1 owa nr Ufa to yor.r wsnderfnl medicine.

The new concern was spoken of as a prospective competitor of the Amer ican Tobacco company in that it was to combine interests which were credit ed with being1 considerably opposed to the American Tobacco company. More over William II. Butler had only a short time before resigned from the direc torate of the American Tobacco com pany, which Rave further color to the report that the Union ''hacco company would De a grenerauy independent con cern. But about three months after its incorporation it was merged with the American Tobacco company. In view of these circumstances it ap pears somewhat probable that the new company is being- organized in the in terest of the Continental Tobacco com pany or of the Continental and Ameri can Tobacco companies jointly. The names of the directors above given probably indicate, m part, the constit uent properties of the new concern. The firm of D. H. McAlpin Ac Co. has been one of the most prominent independent manufacturers, ilr. Butler is now pres ident of the Turko-Kgyptian Tobacco company, in which Mr. Tilford is also understood to be interested. Mr. Jud- kina is a leag tobacco merchant of Dan ville, Va. BUYS ART TREASURES. J. Pierpont Morgan Purchaser of a Large Collection. New York, May 21. According to a Herald dispatch from Paris, J. Pierpont Morgan has bought outright the celebra ted collection of art curiosities g-athered together during; tha last 23 years by M Mannheim of Paris. "It is perfectly correct," said Mr. Mannheim, when told that the sale had been reported about Paris. The collec tion is composed of antiques works, of art. specimens of the middle ages and renaissance. There are 229 numbers, but Mr, Morgan's acquisition is somewhat larger for he insisted on adiing to his collection a magnificent service of Sevres porcelain and a white marble clock by Falconnet, with an allegorical composition, three figures representing a youth letining against the block that encloses the works and also live white marble groups of figures ty the same sculptor. Owing to the custom duties levied by the United States Mr. Morgan is not go ing to bring the new acquisitions acros3 the Atlantic. He will send them to South Kensington museum. London where they will remain until they can clear the United States customs without too heavy an imposition. To Strike For 9 Hour Day. St Louis, Mo., May 21. By the unan imous vote of woodworkers employed in St. Louis planing mills it has been de cided to call a general strike unless the union's demands for a nine-hour working day are complied with before Wednesday morning. Should the strike be declared it would involve between 1.200 and 1,400 workmen and would be one of the most serious conflicts of labor and employers in the recent his tory of St. Louis and would affect a number of interests not directly con cerned in the controversy.

Shufeld, a retired captain in the army. The case involves the ques tion of the exemption of his salary as an officer of the army from an order of court to pay alimony to a divorced wife. The courts of the District of Columbia held the salary to be exempt on the ground that it is a gratuity from me government and could not be so attach ed. The opinion reversed these decis ions, holding salary under such circum stances to be subject to an attachment. WILL SURELY MOVE. Jerry Simpson's Final Decision Is to Go to Missouri.

The state board of charities owns up that it has been straying- away to other countries after supplies for state insti tutions. It is inclined to do better and adhere to the rule established by itself to purchase all supplies In Kansas. G. V. Kanavel says, in defense of the re cent accusations that they have gor.o out of the state to buy things, that they "were only such supplies as could not be g-ot within the state." Mr. Kanavel him nimseif has just returned from Grajid Rapids, where with another member of the board, he was looking at furniture. He says: "There are no furniture fac tories in Kansas and no larg-e jobbers even. The board has not yet bought the furniture that must be procured.at least not all of it. We got a. lot of iron bed steads In Chicago, but iron bedsteads are not manufactured in Kansas. I find that we can buy in Kansas City as cheaply as at the factories, and I think we will buy there." Mr. Kanavel thinks the criticism has been premature. Kan sas merchants think otherwise. A re sult of the agitation will doubtless be that the board of charities will stick closer to its own rule.

County Commissioners Authorize Pur chase of Scythe. The county commissioners, after due deliberation and a careful investigation of the matter, made an appropriation for the maintenance and repair of the lawn about the court house. Great bodies move slowly and such tribunals as the trio of county commis sioners must be careful lest some rash step be taken. The commissioners prob ably knew that the grass in the court house yard needed cutting. At first it could be done wiLh a lawn mower but before the board could resolve itself in to a committee of the whole and instruct the janitor through a" set of resolutions to do the cutting the grass and weeds had grown so high that the lawn mower was useless. So, the honorable board of county commissioners, after due delib eration, authorized the purchase of one scythe and instructed the janitor to forthwith become proficient in using it. leaving Porto Rico For Hawaii.

The paper advocated a stricter enforcement of the present tariff laws relating to pottery ware and charged that the present duty was in naany in stances escaped, in part at least, by lump invoice and by the failure of the custom authorities to thoroughly ex amine all packages. It was suggested that more inspectors be employed and that men be chosen with a knowledge of the pottery business. Fault was found with transportation rates and it was asserted that goods could be ship ped from Liverpool to St. Louis cheaper than they could be sent from Trenton to St. Louis. Labor unions were advo cated as beneficial. The paper stated that the relations between the manu facturers and the men were harmoni ous. Some statements were also made by ex-President John A. O'N'eill of the Pot ters' National union, who said the less tinkering there was with the tariff the better it would be for the trade. The commission will meet in New Tork today.

"I started in on Grape Xuts because it needed no preparation whatever, and I wanted a little lunch before going to bed, so I had cream and pugar ready and a package of Grape Jsuts. Pouring a little of the food into a, saucer I treated it with good rich cream and a little sugar at times, usual ly it was sweet enough. I had a meal that satisfied hunger and I began to sleep well nights. After a while I concluded to make my breakfast of Grape-Nuts and a little fruit rather than go to the boarding house. I found that I began to improve very rapidly in health, and my work became a. pleas tare, i I have made a most important discov ery, that is that I can have a meal served at a cost of about one cent that is the most nourishing meal that I have ever been able to find, delicious in taste and a real irenuine "food cure' for etomaeh. and bowel troubles.

Presbyterians Urge Adoption of Anti-Polygamy Amendment. Philadelphia, May 21. The considera tion of church board reports was con tinued at today's session of the Pres byterian general assembly. The morn ing session began at 9:30 o'clock and the assembly proceeded promptly to busi ness. The special orders for the day were the reports of the committees on home missions, aid for colleges and church, erection. t Addresses were made by the chair men of the committees and boards and the assembly was urged to exert itself to the utmost in behalf of the various church institutions. Every effort is be ing made by the assembly to dispose of all of the routine matters before debate on revision begins in order that when that subject is settled there may be lit tle unfinished business to consider. The report of the committee on home missions, read by Rev. Dr. Hugh Walk er, chairman, contained numerous rec ommendations, one of the most import ant being an earnest commendation of the proposed anti-polygamy amendment to the constitution of the United States. In this connection the report states: "We earnestly urge upon congress the importance of prompt action in thin matter so that such an amendment may be submitted to the states before the Mormons gain the balance of political power in any additional states of the union." The committee also recommended that the church be asked to contribute dur ing the year not less than JS50.O0O, of which $500,000 is to be used in evange listic work; that as a means to securo this amount and -to signalize the cen tennial year of the board the prebyter ies be requested to ask churches for two congressional offerings o tha board ;that churches, families and individuals be requested to make gifts for special ob jects such as for furnishing a minister or a teacher; that the moderator appoint a committee of 30 to arrange for the proper observance of the one hundreth anniversary of the board of home mis sions during the general assembly of ISO 2. Vice Moderator Pitcairn took Modera tor Minton's place and presided during the remainder of the morning session. VALUED AT 5300,000. Sale of Property of Big Johnson Estate Not Hade. The partition sale of the Johnson es tate, which was set for Monday morn ing at 10 o'clock and was postponed until this morning at 10 o'clock, has been again postponed until .Wednesday morning at 10 o'clock. The partition sale, when made, will be the end of a long litigation and the winding up of one of the largest estates in Kansas. The property in Shawnee county to be sold by the sheriff at a partition sale was at one time the property of E. Bennett and must now be divided among the forty heirs of the Johnson estate. John P. Johnson, who died a few years ago. was a wealthy banker at Highland, Doniphan county. He owned property in twelve different states and and thirty counties in Kansas. John son held a mortgage on the Bennett property, not including the homestead, for J30.000. Johnson foreclosed the mortgage and the Trust Company of America brought suit in the United States district court to set aside the mortgage. Judge Hook set aside the transfer, holding that the mortgage was fraudulent. In the meantime John P. Johnson died and his widow, Virginia M. Johnson, was appointed executrix. The executrix appealed the case to the United States court of appeals and Judge Hook's decision was reversed and the property was awarded to the Johnson heirs. At the time of his death Johnson was probably worth J300.000. All of the property outside of Shaw nee county has been sold in partition and the estate will be settled when the Shawnee county property is sold. The property in Shawnee county is apprais ed at $20,000. Two of the heirs. Judge Bowman of Illinois and B. A. Seavers of Highland, claim that they were not represented when the executrix ap peared before Judge Hazen and asked for a partition sale of the Shawnee county property. Judge Hazen granted the decree, but the two heirs wish the sale postponed indefinitely because they claim they were not represented and not notified. Judge Hazen has made the two postponements of the partition sale on these grounds. The sale will probably take place Wednesday, although some effort will be made for a settlement out of court. Gleed. Ware Gleed, who have been attorneys for the $300,000 estate, have an attorneys' fee of $14,000 which is be ing contested somewhat by the two heirs who have asked for the post ponement. The property to be sold includes the old Bennett barn at Eighth and Lin coln streets, with two houses, which makes seven and a half lots, and five acres south of and adjoining the gov ernor's mansion. Considerable interest is manifest in the sale. City Owns $l,80O Street Machinery. Street Commissioner J. F. Snyder has completed his invoice of the city's prop erty in his possession. Mr. Snyder finds that the machinery and material which the city has on hand is worth $1,S12.S9. Prof. H. Samuels, oculist, will be in Topeka at the Hotel Throop for one day only, Friday, May 24th. Leon Robertson and Charles Oliver, boys from Wichita, have been placed in the Reform school. .They were convict ed of theft.' y FRAZIER TAKES IT BACK. Admits He Maligned Councilman Weber May Drop Suit. The criminal libel suit brought by Councilman. W. H. Weber against Rufus M. Frazier is to be dismissed. Mr. Fra zier has agreed to publish a retraction of the charges which he made against Mr. Weber during the campaign for the Republican nomination for mayor. Rufus Frazier is a colored politician, and was an active heeler for Col.Hughes during the campaign previous to the pri maries. He made an affidavit and had it published in the Hughes organ in which he set forth in detail how Mr. Weber and Fred Jewell tried to buy his support for J. S. Warner. He said that Mr. Weber sent for him to go to the Throop hotel; that he went there, and met Mr. Weber and Mr. Jewell. He claimed that the three walked to Mr. Weber's store, and that Mr. Weber ask ed him if $25 or $30 would be any in ducement for him to come out and work for Warner, instead of working for Hughes. Frazier, according to his af fidavit indignantly declined the offer. In the retraction which Mr. Frazier is going to make in order to avoid prose cution, he says that he did not meet Mr. Weber at the Throop hotel on the date mentioned in his former affidavit; that the only conversation he ever had with Mr. Weber about politics was once in front of Mr. Weber's store when Mr. Weber asked him who he was support ing for mayor, to which Frazier replied that he was working for Hughes. Mr. Frazier admits in his signed statement that so far as he knows, Mr. Weber nev er offered him any inducement to work for Mr. Warner. Mr. Frazier said today: "I will not publish this retraction till Mr. Weber dismisses his suit against me. I told Mr. Weber that I was willing to make such a retraction because I did not be lieve I could get justice in the district court." i BUY TEN MORE CARS. City Railway Increases Its Equipment by Purchase. The City Railway company has pur chased ten more street cars for use on the city lines. This makes an addition of 16 cars to the equipment of the city railway this season to help out the equipment which has become depleted. The cars will be rebuilt in Topeka at once and put into service ELEYATOR WON'T MOVE. "Lift" in Federal Building Is Between Second and Third Floors. According to the latest bulletins, there is no noticeable change in the con dition of the postofflce elevator. It is still between the second and third floors of the building. It won't come down, neither will it go up, and the tinkers who are at work on. it may have to blow it out through, the roof with dynamite. Everybody who knows the postoffice elevator considers it a joke. It operates about two days out of the week. It has been known to run three days in succes sion, when the weather was right, and the moon stood in the most favorable quarter. Almost everybody has a dif ferent explanation of why the elevato. balks. Some say it is because the cables are loose; other lay the blame on the motor. One man declares that the trou ble is that an additional custodian and superintendent of the building is needed that there are only 20 now. It may be necessary to take the eleva tor to pieces to get it out of its present resting place in the shaft. IDAHO MURDER MYSTERY. John N. King Arrested on Charge of Killing Sis Partner. Lewiston, Idaho, May 21. A sensation was caused here last evening by the ar rest of John N. King, a well known bus iness man charged with the murder of Charles E. Thatcher. The latter, who was a partner of King was murdered in the firm's store at Lapvvai, 12 miles from Lewiston on the night of July 15, 1S98. King's statement at the coroner's in quest was to the effect that two masked men entered the store andshotThtacher. Two bullets of different calibre were found in his body. Thatcher was a prom inent citizen and the tragedy attracted much attention, a reward of $3,000 hav ing been offered for the arrest of the murderer. The warrant for King's ar rest was issued on complaint made by Harry Thatcher, a grain dealer of Gene see, and a brother of the murdered man. The state will attempt to prove that King and Thatcher quarreled and that King took two revolvers from the bed which both men occupied and fired a bullet from each into Thatcher's body. King is manager of a large flour milling plant here and also conducts a store at Lapwai. To Sell Transport Ships. "Washington, May 21.

Clay street people, between Second and Third streets have manifested the sincerity of their desire to have pave ment laid on that block by giving to the city quit claim deeds to the street, which the city demanded as a prelimi nary to paving. I The council turned down the paving petition for this block because of a se culiar technicality. The plats for this block are so constructed that the pro perty owners own the land to the middle of the street. Under such circumstances the city declined to pave until the pro perty holders relinquished the title to the street. All the property holders in the block have done so, with the exception of Mrs. J. H. Hunt, who is in the east. Dees have been sent to her, which she will sign and return, and thus clear up all objections to paving the block in ques tion. I I l t LOST IN A FLOOD.

New York, May 21. Judge Augustus Van Wyck presided last night at the annual dinner of the North Carolina society, held in the Astor gallery of the Waldorf. At his left sat Governor C B. Aycoek of North Carolina, who had as his neighbor on the right ex-Governor Hugh P. Thompson of South Carolina. It was announced that the dinner was set for last might because that was the anniversary of the date on which the Mecklenburg declaration of independ ence was drafted in North Carolina, be fore the national declaration was agreed upon in Philadelphia. The speakers of the evening, besides Governor Aycoek, were Assistant' Dis trict Attorney Osborne and George Gor don Battle. The former spoke on "The Alecklenburg declaration of independ ence, May 20, 1775," and the latter on "The Old North State in the United States Senate and Supreme Court." Governor Aycoek spoke on new condi tions in the south and the duties of the southern people towrard the negro race, saying in iiart: "In 1900 we made good the determina tion of 1&98. We adopted in that year the constitutional amendment, which bases suffrage upon intelligence and renders the future of the state secure. That amendment has provoked much discussion in the north. The attack up on us is based on the assumption that we have done an injustice to the negro. Our amendment does no such thing. We have recognized the power of the influ ence of heredity. We think that those who have exercised the privilege of suf frage and those descended from such people are more likely to exercise that suffrage beneficially than the men upon whom suffrage has been cast as a gift. The amendment to the constitution of North Carolina provides that no man shall vote in that state after 1902 who cannot read and write, but exempts from this inhibitory clause those who could vote on January 1, 1867, or at any time prior thereto, and those descended from such voters. This provision ap plies alike to white and black. Until 1835 the free negroes were entiled to vote. In 1S0O there were and there now are, those who were slaves who cannot read and write, who can vote under the provision of our constitution because they were voters in 1835 and there are many thou sands of negroes descended from such voters who can exercise suffrage, al though they cannot read and write. Those who come of age after 1908, white and black, must be able to read and write or they cannot vote. Our amend ment is not aimed at the negro as an in dividual. It is mass voting that we seek to destroy." TO SUCCEED MRS. EDDY. She Again Says That a Man Will Fill the Post. A dispatch to the New York Herald from Concord, N. H., says: "Rev. Mary Baker Eddy was recently quoted as saying that her successor at the head of the Christian Science move ment would be a man. Today she fur nished the following: 'I did say that a man would be my future successor. By this I did not mean Mr. Alfred Farlow, nor any other man today on earth.' The New York Journal quotes Mrs. Eddy as follows: "I do not deny, but definitely believe in the Divinity of Christ. In the tenets of the Mother Church of Christ, Scien tist, Boston, and in 'Science and Health,' of which I am the author, you will find declaration of the Divinity of Christ and Oneness of the Christ." FUDGE AND GUM CLASS. Experiment Is Tried at the High School For a Change. The very latest thing in modern edu cational methods is a fudge and gum recitation; a recitation where fudge and gum, instead of being transferred sur reptitiously from the pockets to the mouth of the possessor, as in the good old days, is boldly devoured, the teacher being an accessory before the fact, after the fact, and during the fact. The class at the high school which is busy chasing Caesar around in his trav els through Gallia Transalpina had a fudge and gum recitation this morning. The girls in the class brought the fudge; the boys furnished the gum. And a good time was had. The usual custosrt of transforming good Latin into poor English was pre served during the recitation. But there was fudge to eat and gum to chew be tween times and besides, the rule against whispering was abolished. It was a carnival in ablative absolute, in hoc signo vinces, per curiam and ad astra per aspera. It is unnecessary to etate that such recitations do not occur every day. This is the first time. And probably the last. Scottish Concert Programme. The following programme will be given by the Scottish Concert company at I. O. O.

They Are Not Regarded as Peaceful by Russia. New York, May 21. According to a Herald dispatch from St. Petersburg, Germany's reported desire to send a new expedition against the boxers is looked upon at the Russian capital as detrimen tal to the prospects of peace. The Bergevaia' Viedomosti comments as follows on the kaiser's speech regard ing the confidence of the czar in Count Waldersee: "We do not understand and we have no confidence in these penal, piratical expeditions and only understand peace ful methods. "It has needed much confidence In the triumph of common sense and in the tri umph of political peace over a policy of adventures and vagabondages for Russia to remain calm and cool during these long months of fruitful delibera tions and criminal expeditions, compli cating a situation which should long ago have ended. If the troops are being withdrawn now the powers are merely following the first plan mapped out by Russia; but in all this where is Russia a con fidence in Count Waldersee?" Old Man Kills 'His Son. New York, May 21. Peter Anderson, a piano maker employed in Steinway's piano factory at Steinway, L. I., shot and killed his son. Gustave Anderson, in their home in Astoria today.

England Thinks Foreigners Will Pay the Coal Tax. New Tork, May 21. Hamilton Smith, rYoci(lcrtt n1 cfpncral Tna.nnirer of the t i5toke-on-Trent Colliery company, lim ited, of Manchester, England, lias ar rived here on his way to 1'ittsburg on business. Speaking of the recently im posed export tax of a shilling a ton on British coal he said: i "The tax is a retrogressive action and one which will in a very short tine dis locate trade and act as a detriment on commercial activity. The British gov ernment is under the impression that the foreign consumers will ray. That, however, is already proving to be a commercial fallacy. The foreign con sumer is not going to pay such a tax for his coal. He buys his coal in the cheapest market. The Americans, too, since the immense development of their coal trade, previous to any question of this export tax on the British product, were making: a very bold bid to oust us from the markets and now the im position of this tax is the golden oppor tunity that they have been looking for. The tax has resulted In my conpany, as well as numerous others throughout England and Scotland, being compelled to raise the price of steam coal, for which there has been a remarks ble de mand since the tax, from tn shillings to twelve shillings a ton. Other grades have been raised in price proportion ately. Of course the poor are the chief sufferers. The manufacturers, too. have in many instances had to restrict their output and reduce their working forces." HUNTING A LOlirSE. Eloomington Man Can't Find Body of His Dead Niece. Chicago, May 21. The Chronicle says: Mystery surrounds the disappearance from the county morgue of the body of Minnie Pehlgrinn, a l!-year-old girl of Bloomington. 111., who died at the coun ty hospital a few days ago. William Sulske of Bloomington. the dead girl's uncle, arrived in Chicago yesterday i i response to a telegram announcing the death, but his search of the morgue for the body of his niece was vain. He was told on his arrival at the morgue that Miss Pehlgrinn's body had been taken away in an undertaker's wagon. Who the undertaker Is or whose wagon carried the body away, Suiske could not learn, and after spending the entire day searching and inquiring he appealed to the police last night for as sistance. A GOOD STORY A certain young lady in del icate health was advised by her doctor to take a half-teaspoon-ful of Soott's emulsion of cod liver oil after dinner once a day and found herself almost suddenly growing robust. So small a dose is by no means the rule the rule is whatever the stomach will bear not more. Another rule is: take it on every least occasion, but not too much don't over do it.

Must Ignore All Differences of a Common Ticket. Xew York, May 21. It was expected that ex-Seeretary. John G.Carlisle woul-1 t present and tvct as temporary chair man of the meeting last night, in Cixl er Union at which the Greater X New tly At- i .iv..- I York Democracy was permanent ganized. However, he wrote the follow ing letter which was read: 'William Hepburn Russell, Chairman Executive Committee. "I.irar Sir: It is scarcely necessary to say that I am in full sympathy with ev ery properly direr ted movement to cre ate an honest, cltk ient an.J ecun mi.vl administration t local affairs, and this, 1 am assured is the object sought to b 1 accomplished by your organization and that its efforts are not to be confined permanently, to local affairs. To s-cuiti this beneficial result we can well afford ta ignore, for the present, ail differences of a common ticket which will represent the best elements and the highest inter ests of the community at huge. "There are three and a naif millions of people here, .with their homes, their business, schools, charitable institutions. &-.ial interests all dependent mainly up on the municipal authorities for protec tion and it is no exaggeration to say that, taking all things into considera tion, the administrati jn of the national government is of less importance to the citizens of New York than the adminis tration of the local government. They can have the administration of their municipal affairs if they really want it: but it cannot he' secured by dividing the forces of rtform and wasting their strength in contests among themselves. "Hoping that the union and co-operation essential to success may be sped:!y accomplish-.:!, through the efforts of your organization and others. having like purposes, I am very" truly yours, "JOHN O.

Attorneys for James Callahan, the alleged kidnaper appeared before Judge Baker in tht? criminal branch of the district court and moved for a judgment in the rob bery and larceny cases pending against him In connection with the kidnaping of Edvv ard Cudahy. The p-leading was for the dis- harge of the d-f-mdaut on the ground that he had already been put in jeopardy fnr the same offense- as is al leged in each of these remaining cases. The court sustained the motion to dis charge. This action finally disposes of all the cases against Callahan except ing the one of false imprisonment and the new case of perjury.

Gypsies Couldn't Land. New York. May 21. The 50 Servian irypsies who were detained on Eilis isl and as likely to become public charges have been taken to the steamship Lahn for deportation.

(Continued from First Pasre.) class of business men more important to the needs of the citizens. "The impression has gone out that the only ability required of a Kansas druggist is to make change over a bar rel: that he knows nothing- and cares less: that his stock in trade consists of a few barrels of exceedingly bad uquor and a little of the same kind of patent medicines. And it is time the druggists are showing the people that this estimate is erroneous. "The man who runs a joint flares up and says, 'Why don't the ofiicers jump on the druggists.' Another class of men storm around, ask, demand why the ofii cers do not make, the drug stores obey the laws, and there is still an other class of men who think they can take advantage of the" druggist. They come in with some sort ot ailment, no matter whether it is a pain in the stomach or an ingrowing toenail, and the only thing that will relieve it and touch the speit is a drink of liquor. If the druggist refuses the man immed iately becomes his enemy and attempts to injure' him in his business. There fore under this three-foid trouble under v. r.ich you labor you have my sincere sympathy. I do not coincide with the public in these mistaken ideas concern ing this profession. It is my belief that it is u. better profession than almost any other and I would rather intrust my life to the '.are of any of the druggists present ti an to the care of a great many doctors w ho are practicing- in this state." The rospi nse was made by M. S. Ingalls oi Halstead. He thanked the city oil behalf of tiie association for the hearty good will expressed by Mr. 11c Xeal, and gave assurance that the drug gists would make themselves perfectly at home and enjoy themselves during their visit here. In making the annual address the president, H. W. Mehl of Leavenworth, said: "A year has passed since our very pleasant and profitable meeting at Hutchinson and we come back to To peka, the cradle of the association. Here the association was born, we miiht say, where it passed its infancy, as the first three meetings were held here, and now we return to the old home after reach ing the vigor of manhood." He related the experience of the as-sociati.-n upon it founding in June, 1880, w hen 17 of the-druggists of the state g.it together to form an association. Of the IT original members only three remain. One of the chief features of the presi dent's address was the notice of the im proved trade conditions, which he said was "marked in some localities of the state." He also called attention to the fact that the Kansas delegation was con spicuous in the deliberations of the Xa tional Association of Retail Druggists, whose last session was held in Detroit last September. He said that as a re suit of the efforts of -the national or ganization much had been accomplished for the benefit of the retail druggist: that the main object of the association, that of reaching an agreement between the proprietor, the jobber and the re tailer, or. as it is called, the tripartite plan, had been successfully reached. This he declared to be of vast benefit to the retailer. Another cause of ela tion was the fact that the matter of price cutting had to a gTeat extent iieen eliminated and that a better price was prevailing- for all lines of drug gists' supplies. The president urgred the members to do some active work in securing new members to the association and sug gested that the time of the meeting be set for the second week in June instead of the third week in May. the present time of holding the annual convention. He complimented the leaislature and the state upon the appropriation of 0'8 for a chemistry building at Law rence and suggested that an effort be made to secure the appropriation by the next legislature for the sun of $1. yearly for the use of Prof. Sayre in scientific research. This recogni tion, he declared, was due the druggists of the state inasmuch as they contrib ute nuite largely to its support in the matter of taxes. It. W. Woodward, ore of the old mem bers of the association, whose death oc curred recently at Chester, Pa., was the subject of the concluding paragraph of this address.

A iilAOKED uAil. Congressman Calderhead Is Promised a Warm lteception. Object of Resolutions to Be In troduced at Encampment. OFFENDED SOLDIERS. Did Not Favor Pension Court of Appeals Bill. They Want an Explanation of His Failure to Act. Congressman W. A. Calderhead is the lucky individual to be called tip on the carpet at the state encampment of the G. A. R. this year. This will be the diversion of the Junction City encamp ment. Since President McKinley has prom ised to depose H. Clay Evans, Ihe ap pointment of whose successor is expected any time now, things looked so tranquil that it was to be wondered what would turn up to "resolute" on. It is taken for granted that Evans will soon go out and a Kansas man go in, although nut much has been heard lately about the chances of S. R. Peters or R. W. 1-tlue, because of the absence of the president on his western trip. The chance of a repetition of the last" en campment or two to "resolute" on Evans and the president ia accordingly very slim. It is more than probable that Com rade Calderhead, congressman from the Fifth district, will furnish the bait. Calderhead's crime has to do with the pension court of appeuls bill. This biil was drafted by the pension committee of the national body of the Grand Army of the Republic. It was presented to the national encampment at Chicago and adopted. The idea of the measure was to have a distinct and separate court established to pass upon all dis puted pension claims. The old soldiers thought that a judicial tribunal to act in this way would be the proper thing to pass fair legal and qualified judg ment and its decisions would not be so liable to be questioned or followed by soreness. It would be a relief to whom soever is in the trying position at the head of the department also. They thought it would reduce pension evils to a minimum. The bill failed to get through congress last winter. It died in committee. What is more it died in Calderhead's com mittee. It is reported that Calderhead did not vote for it. Calderhead has never given any explanation of his course. The old soldiers want to know. Calderhead has a civil war record of his own. He is a Grand Army man. A member of the G. A. R. said today: "Yes,- I think the case of Mr. Calder head will come up. In just what shape I cannot say. It will probably go to the committee on resolutions." Congressman Calderhead is a member of the house committee on invalid pen sions. In that capacity he has hereto fore "done things" for the old soldier along the line of minimizing complaints. In 1S9S he posted a JiO.000 challenge against the Washington Post, when that paper attacked pension grabs and charged that "special pension acts were an outrageous abuse of power." "If the Post will write a general pen sion law," answered Congressman Cal derhead. "which will render private pen sions unnecessary, I will Introduce it. And 1 w ill also ask the committee on appropriations to make an appropriation for compensation for writing it equiv alent to one year's payment of private pensions." Payment of one year's private pensions passed by that, the third session of the Fifty-fifth con gress, aggregated something over forty seven thousand dollars, according to Calderhead's figures. In view of Calderhead's past zeal for the cause of the pensioners, contrasted with the alleged inaction of the past winter, the chance for him to rise and explain is created. TIED TO A COE Frank Clifford Has a Narrow Escape From Deatb. Frank Clifford, the 8-year-old son of Mr. and Mrs. Charles Clifford, who live on a part of the A. J. Berry farm west of town, had a narrow escape from be ing severely injured Monday evening. The boy and his mother had gone to the pasture to drive in the cows and the child had thoughtlessly tied a rope that was fastened to one of the animals, around his waist. When they reached the barn yard, Mrs. Clifford opened the gate intending to drive the cows to the watering trough. The cow to which the boy had tied himself seemed very thirsty and started on a run to the trough. The .sudden motion threw Frank to the ground. The noise of something bumping along behind her frightened the crow and she commenced a wiid run around the lot. Mrs. Clifford's screams brought Mr. Kerry to the yard and he succeeded in stopping the cow. The child was badly bruised and complained of pains in his head and left leg. but it is not thought that he was seriously hurt. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago. May 21.

On" of the elements in the present situation upon which much stress is laid bv operators for the fall is the recent outbieak of so-called labor troubles. To speak with accuracy, one may hardly describe the strikes now taking place as troubles in the sense in which that word is used, except technically. Some observ ers think that beoausv of the strike in Albany labor is showing a "savage and unreasoning disposition." In the Albany Instance it is generally agreed that polit ical manipulation was at the bottom of the extreme position taken by the strikers and which led up to the unfortunate riot ing in the Xew York csipital. Soon as the state dem -istrated its de-tP!mmat..-n to piotect property and re store order as soon as possil-le, the labor dipule was easily ooninro''ilstd. The "savages" of labor disappeared as soon as it became evident that the rights of citizens seeking work or having op portunities to employ labor were vindi cated. The unhappy A'bany experience was as nothing compared with the violence and disturbance which attended the strikes in the vears of business depression in the United States. Market GossiD.
