State reg-ulation of vice, was one of the leading topics at this morning's session of the National American Woman Suffrage association. The telegTam of the Philippine commis sion to Secretary Jioot on January 17, litOl, reciting that the military authori ties In Manila, had for two years sub-3-cted women of bad character to "cer tified exajnina.tion" and the course of Gen. M"aeAr"-ur in defending such pol y w-.-a mwi the occasion for the adop tit f of a fet of resolutions earnestly rr-itestii-t, i-pai.Vot introducing the Euro pean system of state regulated vice in the new possessions of the United States. The reasons urged againstsuch a course were: To furnish bad women with official health certificates was contrary to good morals and would impress both soldiers and natives as officially sanctioning vice; it was unjust to subject vicious women to compulsory medical examina tion, not applied to vicious men; oflieial regulation of vice while lowering the moral tone of the community, is quite ineffective in protecting public health, as shown by experience in Paris, where the system originated, by its abandonment in England. Switzerland and other coun tries and its failure everywhere it has been tried. The resolutions "protest in the name of American womanhood against intro ducing in our foreign dependencies a system that would not ba tolerated at home." i SAPP fM GET IT G&lena Statesman Has His Eye on Democratic Leadership. Indications That He Will Ee Mack Love's Successor. Along wdth his trip to Topeka to throw hot shot into the camp of the Galena "Water company in the case being argued before the supreme court William Sapp, better known as plain but dressy "Hill" Sapp brings a boom for chairman of the Democratic state central commit tee. Not much has been heard about a fight being made on the present chair man, J. Mack Love. Since the Populists have made a proposition to Love and he turned it down, however, there haa been a pretty mesa boiling. Some Democrats are in favor of the LTnion party scheme. The Populist3 are not at all loath to keep the stew sim mering and they would like to see Mack Love thrown out. They would like to see some one go in who would lean har moniously toward them and do anything to beat the Republicans. Bill Sapp is counted to be the man and a good man who could handle the Democratic affairs In Kansas In less autocratic manner than that assumed by Mack Love. That ts the way reasoning is now being none. Mack Love reversed himself after he came back from the east. Before he went east he was favorable to Populist principles, including government owner ship and direct legislation. Now he ia considered to have been captured by the eastern or Hilt wing of the Democracy. Democrats who want to fuse some way or other are sore, or are at least being stirred up to be sore by the staunch ad vocates of the LTnion movement. Sapp was the organizer and president of the Sunflower league. He is a. big man in the Third district, mine owner and diplomat. His barrel would be a. great thing for making a hot campaign next year. Sapp's friends have started his boom for the chairmanship. He has not admit ted outr ight that he is after it. He has not said he does not want it. He be lieves it is not yet quite time to spring his candidacy. When asked who would make a good state chairman all he says is "Why not me?" Sapp said today that he favored the union party scheme or some way of fusing the anti-Republican forces. He takes rather an odd position on the com bination of state and national issues as they are now worrying Democracy. His. utterance is a paraphrase of a famous slogan. It sounds quite breezy in this connection. "1 am neither for Bryan nor for Hill. I am a Democrat." Sapp's prestige, his personality and his barrel give him big standing for the place of state chairman at once. The Democrats are fighting within their ranks in other parts of the country as well as Kansas. The South Carolina bat tle between Tillman and McLaurin is the same fight over the "progressive or Bryanite" course or the going back to fight over the old tariff issues of the past. TAKES $5,985.45 To Pay Mileage of Delegates to Evangelical Lutheran Synod. Des Moines, la., June 4. The most im portant feature of this morning's work of the Evangelical Lutheran synod was the meeting of the publication society and the selection of officers for the en suing years. The publication society, while a part of the synod has independ ent functions and during the considera tion of the work of the board the synod adjourned and was reorganized as a board of publication for the church with Dr. S. F Breckinridge in the chair. The committee on nominations for officials for the ensuing two years reported for president. Dr. W. S. Freas, for secretary', Wm. E. Fisher. The executive beard was renominated with two exceptions, that of Dr. J. B. Reman Snyder for Rev. T. C. Billheimer and Dr. W. C. Steaver for Mr. T. N. Pat ton. The reports of the society were then submitted and produced consider able discussion consuming the time until the noon hour. Before the assembling of the board of publication the report of the committee on mileage was announced. The total amount necessary was reported as ue ing J3.9S5.43. KITCHENER A SCAPEGOAT. British. "War Office Locates Blame For News Suppression. New York. June 4. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The wor office authorities have lost no time in saddling "Lord Kitchener with responsibility for not satisfying the pub lic demand for trustworthy news of South Africa. Suspicion, notwithstand ing, still exists that the home officials are holding back some information. The war olfice is being inundated with num erous inquiries because of the currency that has been given to a rumor of a ser ious British defeat. It would not injure the British army if the details of the Vlakfontein fight, which must by this time have reached Lord Kitchener, were telegraphed home at once, and it would help to relieve the uneasiness felt by a million or more of Englishmen and wo men with relatives at the front. Liquor Is Destroyed. Seventy-seven kegs of beer and a number of bottles of whisky and wine were destroyed Monday by Chief of Po lice Stahl and Police Sergeant Carpen ter at the police station. The liquors were captured during the recent joint raids and were destroyed upon the or der of the district court after the for mer owners had been convicted. RACE Oil LAKES. Riral Steamers Line Up 100 Mile Dash For From Cleveland to Erie For a Parse of $1,000. CITY OF ERIE WINS. Reached Stake Boat 1 Minute and 34 Seconds Ahead. Estimated That $100,000 Changed Hands on Result. Cleveland, O...June 4. Stripped of ev erything that would unnecessarily catch the wind, the two large modern side wheel passenger steamers City of Erie of Cleveland and the Tashmoo of Detroit lined up this morning for their great hundred mile dash from Cleveland to Erie to decide the speed championship of the great lakes. Steamboat men from many lake ports gathered to see the con test. Special excursion boats from Cleveland, O., Erie, Buffalo and smaller ports, took large loads of passengers to points along the course. Throngs of cur ious people also gathered along the lake shore to catch a glimpse of the racers. The day dawned bright and clear with a light southwesternly breeze stirring a gentle swell. Long before starting time Cleveland harbor was alive with craft and the wharves were black with people. Whistles blew, bells rang and the din was deafening as the two magnificent racers, all aglisten in the morning sun light steamed up to the stake boat. The patrol boats busied themselves keeping the course clear. Apparently both boats were evenly matched. The Erie is 324 feet over all and 7S feet beam against the Tashmoo's 320 feet length and 70 feet width. The Erie was built to make fast sche dules between Cleveland and Buffalo under all conditions and has twice the power of her rival. The Tashmoo was made for river work, draws much less water than the Erie and is built like a cigar, with a sharp tapering prow. It is estimated that over $100,000 will change hands as a result of the race. The betting is even, ranging from small sums to thousands of dollars. The Cleveland and Buffalo transit company, has posted tl.000 on the Erie against a like sum put up on the Tashmoo by the White Star people. Just before the boats started the wind veered around to the north and the racers had a seven mile breeze against their qua-rter bows. When the starter gave the signal, the steamers were at a dead stop and on even terms. Much to the surprise of the spectators, the Erie was first to gain headway, and crossed the stake boat line fully two lengths ahead of the Tashmoo. The Detroit boat, however, gradually drew up on the Erie, and as they disappeared in the haze three or four miles eastward the Tashmoo had overtaken the Cleveland steamer. A carrier pigeon message from the City of Erie off Willoughby, about 18 miles east, says that boat leads by a length. CITY OF ERIE WINS. Erie, Pa., June 4. The City of Erie reached the stake boat one minutes and thirty-four seconds ahead of the Tash moo, unofficial. VLAKFOIITElfl FIGHT. Kitchener Sends in a Report of How It Happened. London, June 4. Lord Kitchener in a dispatch from Pretoria dated June 4 says: "Dixon's report of the fighting at Vlakfontein, 40 miles from Johannes burg, May 29, just received. On our side 1,450 men with seven guns -syere en gaged. The force was returning to camp at Vlakfontein when the enemy, under cover of a veldt fire rushed the rear guard consisting of two guns of the Twenty-eighth battery and 330 men of the Derbyshires and the Yeomanry. They temporarily captured the twoguns. When the remainder of the force came into action the Boers were driven off and the guns recaptured. Our casualties were six officers and 51 men killed, six officers and 115 men wounded and one officer and seven men missing. One officer and four men have since died of wounds. Forty-one Boers were killed on the ground. The further Boer casualties are not 'known. Itein forcements are being sent. EIGHT MEN KILLED. Suffocated by Fumes From Pow der Explosion in a Mine. Iron Mountain, Mich., June 4. By the explosion of a quantity of powder and the suffocating fumes that followed eight men were killed early today in the seventh level of the Ludington shaft of the Chapin mine. Suddenly there was a rumble and smoke began pouring from the mouth of the shaft. Rescuers hurried into the mine as soon as the smoke had cleared sufficiently, and found the eight miners, all who had been working in that section of the shaft, lifeless. The cause of the ex plosion has not yet been determined. Nearly 30 children were rendered fatherless by the accident. Only one man was disfigured as if by an explo sion, and he but slightly. The others were completely covered by black powder soot. The men were using a powder thawing machine, and it is thought they neglected to supply it with powder. It is believed the ma chine becoming red hot set lire to the dynamite, and the men were stricken down by the deadly fumes before they could escape. The town is in mourn ing and work at the mine is at a stand still. Unclaimed Fio'ght Sale. Takes place at the A. T. S.

There are 13,868 members of the G. A. R. in Kansas, as the reports -to be sub mitted at the encampment at Junction City this week will show. Last year the total membership was 13,900. W. W. Martin, department commander of the G. A. R.; O. H. Coulter, custodian; W. W. Dennison, quartermaster general, and F. A. Lyon, adjutant general, left today noon for Junction City to attend the annual excampment of the G. A. R. which opens Thursday. The council of administration begins its work of tak ing up reports and auditing accounts this afternoon. The state officials will probably go to Junction City on Thurs day and spend a day at the encamp ment, returning on" Friday. During the year the statistics show the following gains: By muster, (new members) 473 By transfers 297 By reinstatements 88S Total gains 1.65S The losses have been: By death 297 By honorable discharge 27 By suspension 1,045 By dishonorable discharge 3 By surrender of charter 57 Total losses 1,690 Net loss 32 adetRetrip, First Steamer From Chicago Direct to Europe. New York, June 4. The cable today announced the arrival of the American steamer Northman at Hamburg today from Chicago, after a passage of 35 aays, of which nineteen days had been occu pied traversing the great lakes and canals before leaving Quebec for the ocean voyage. The Northman is tne first steamer in the new Chicago-Hamburg service to cross the ocean and her voyage has been watched with interest as a test of the probable success of the undertaking. She was preceded by the Northwestern, a sister ship, but that vessel was detained by a mishap, and lost the honor of being the ship to make the first voyage in the new service. The Northman, which is a steamer of 1,496 tons net, sailed from Chicago, April 30, in command of Capt. Ross, with a gen eral cargo. She sailed from Montreal May 17 and Quebec two days later. On May 22 she sailed from Sidney, C. B., after coaling. The scheme of going through the canals was to give the ves sel the maximum cargo to Buffalo, then partially unload and then after pass ing through the canals reload at Mon treal. The round trip is expected to take sixty days. Collision in a Tunnel Ignites Oil in a Tank Car. Pittsburg.June 4. Passenger train No. 106, on the Pan Handle railroad known as the Carnegie Accommodation, ran in to a tank car full of oil in the Try street tunnel late last night. The oil immediately ignited and the passenger train was completely destroyed. Fortu nately there were only nine passengers aboard, seven of them railroaders and all of them made their escape by matt ing a hasty retreat from the rear end of the tunnel. One person, William J.Reese, a telegraph operator was slightly hurt. The accident was caused by a mistake in signals. The loss to the railroad com pany will amount to many thousands o dollars. KILLED HIS COUSIN. He Was in Love With Her Then Committed Suicide. New York, June 4. Francisco Alaska, 22 years of age shot and instantly killed his first cousin, Mrs. Angelina Faia, 27 years of age, in the woman's home to day and then committed suicide by shooting himself in the breast. The tragedy occurred in a tenement at 163 Elizabeth street, a poor part of the city. Alasko was in love with the woman. The police at first believed that the husband had killed his wife and Alasko in a fit of jealousy. Faia was held a prisoner as a "suspicious person," but his innocence was apparently establish ed by the straightforward story of the tragedy told by his little daughter, Car melia, who said Alasko had done the shooting during her father's absence from the house. 3 KILLED IN WRECK. Switch Engine Runs Into a Southern Passenger Train. Atlanta, Ga., June 4. A passenger train from Macon on the Southern rail way was run into by a switch engine as it was passing the Atlanta shops at 11 a. m. Three were killed and twelve in jured. The shops are three mile3 from the city. The dead: MRS. A. A. LEMON. MRS. ALMA LEMON, both of Mc Donough, Ga. H. M. VICKERS, of Floraville. Badly injured: A. F. Fouche. BEARDED THE LION. "Bill" Sapp Took a Brink in Jffort Al baugh's Office. "Bill" Sapp, of Cherokee county, is here, being interested in the Galena Wa ter company suit. He is the same affable and unterriried Democrat. Telling a story on himself, he says he walked into Mort Albaugh's office and made a hunt for the water cooler. "Mort got all my money in the last campaign," he said. "So I walked into the bank commissioner's office. Mort stood there. He knew me. I knew him. He didn't say anything, neither did I. But I just walk ed over to the water cooler, poured out a drink, took it and went out. I guess it's all right considering circumstances. I Think it was eminently fitting to go into Mort's office and take a drink on myself." BREWERlWEBDIflG Much Interest in the Event in Washington Society. The Justice Will Not Return Till After Marriage. SOW IN BURLINGTON. Wedding Will Be Solemnized in Home of Vermont Relatives. JBride-to-Be a Woman of Excep tional Attainments. Washington, D. C, June 4. Society of the capital city is evincing much interest in the approaching marriage of Justice David J. Brewer, of the supreme court of the United States, and Miss Emma Miner Mott of Washington. Miss Mott is now at the home of relatives in Bur lington, Vt., where the ceremony will take place the early part of thisweek. Justice Brewer left Washington Friday and is not expected to return before the marriage. During her residence in this city Miss Mott has made many friends. Possessed of exceptional mental attainments and being an accomplished musician, as the head of a supreme court household she will be a marked acquisition to official society. To some of the members of the First Congregational church, of which MISS EMMA MINER MOTT. both Justice Brewer and Miss Mott are members, the announcement of the ap proaching marriage was not altogether a surprise. Miss Mott Is the daughter of the late Dr. William Mott, and is a native of Chateaugay, N. Y., where her father ranked high in his profession. Both Dr. and Mrs. Mott were natives of Ver mont, having been born in Franklin county. After being graduated from the Os wego (N. Y.) normal school with honors at the head of her class Miss Mott taught for a year in the Howard mis sion, in New York city. Then she went to Fond du Lac, Wis., where she taught several years in the high school. Her father's health failing, Miss Mott, who had already attained an enviable repu tation as a teacher, gve up her school and returned to her home. Then she en gaged in fitting young women for the normal school, later going to Boston to study vocal music. Her father died in 1853, and soon after, with her mother, she went to Washington, D. C, to teach in the public schools and to be with her sister. Miss Clara E Mott, who was an examiner in the pension office. This sis ter died in 1892, and Mrs. Mott died about a j-ear ago. The other day Congressman Charles Curtis of Topeka was seen at the railroad station by the State Journal man and asked what he thought about the contest in South Carolina, between Senators Tillman and McLaurin. "I hope McLaurin will win," replied Mr. Curtis, emphatically. "While I do not endorse all of his sentiments, several of the principles for which he stands ap peal to me strongly, as they ought to us all. It's a contest with progress and advancement on the one side and retro gression, crawfishing back into old days before the war, standstill and stifling policies on the other side. Tillmanism means just what he asserts back to the days of the old century. No industrial expansion, no industrial increase of wealth, no advancement in principles, political, industrial or otherwise; noth ing new, same old story, nothing new. Just peg along with the old mule, plow the corn, pick the cotton, stand still and let the rest of the people get rich, and the rest of the country expand, build up and grow wealthy. It's a good thing that such sentiments do not rule in the United States outside of his section. It they did, we wouldn't need to import into the state of Kansas 20,000 men to help the thousands already there har vest the wheat crop this year, which will be the largest we ever had. According to Tillmanism, this is all wrong. We musn't advance. We should remain in the buffalo and prairie dog stage for ever. McLaurin is a brave man. He is also a bright man. A man has got to be both to advance such views as he ex presses in the rock-ribbed Democratic section in which he lives. They already say he will be defeated. New ideas and principles don't digest well there. I hope be comes back to the senate. He has shaken up the dry bones and scat tered the dust and mold of steel-bound conservatism in a way that hasn't been witnessed in the south since the war. He wins admiration for the courage of convictions, at least. The position of the Washington Star on the question of the new south is sound and in accord with the twentieth century ideas. The turtle shell of conservatism which keeps that fertile part of our country back ward is bound to be pierced some day. In one respect McLaurin is a sort of a Moses. His undertaking to lead his peo ple out of the past into the brilliant light of the advancement of today along in dustrial lines is a big one. If the bul rushes of the south conceal a few other little Moseses let ushope tney will be dis covered. We are having a little quiet fun out in Kansas over the plight of the Democrats and the Populists. Under tne new law they must unite upon a name The Democrats want it their way and the Populists wish it theirs. Between them they are having a hard time of it. It doesn't make any difference what name they choose. The Republicans control Kansas, and the other factions will continue to play second fiddle ,Vor some time to come. Our state is boqiji ing. We were never bo prosperous las we are now." L. WILLIAM THAVIS1 MOYER GETS HIS CIIIIiD Proceedings Against Dr. Woodruff Will Be Dropped. Portland, Ore., June 4. Ray Morrer, of Lawrence, Kas., husband of Mrs. Edith Moyer.who was arrested here Rast week along with Dr. Wylie G.

Later it was announced that proceed ings against Mrs. Moyer and Dr. Wood ruff will be dropped. The husbartd is given JJie custody of the child, and he will leave for Lawrence, Kas., today. SAVED BY MAYOR. Benjamin Fetty's Narrow Escape From Lynching. "New York, June 4. A special to the World from McKeesport, Pa., says: Five thousand people attempted to take Benjamin Fetty, arrested on the charge of assault on a three-year-old girl, from the police for the purpose of lynching him. Only the interventionof the mayor, who threatened to shoot the first man crossing the threshold of the jail, and the quick action of the po lice saved the prisoner. A patrol wagon full of policemen dashed up just in time and a desperate fight took place for possession of the prisoner. After ten minutes the police w-ere victorious. Pittsburg, Pa., June 4. Benja-nln Fetty, who narrowly escaped lynching at the hands of an infuriated mob at McKeesport, Pa., yesterday and last night for an alleged assault on the four-year-old daughter of Thomas Sullivan, was brought to this city early today and placed in the county jail. Mayor Black learned that secret meetings to arrange for an onslaught on the jail were being held. NO EXTRA SESSION. President McKinley Not Expepted to Call Congress Together. New York, June 4. A special to the Herald from Washington says: President McKinley will not call an extra session of congress if he can avoid doing so without postponing the establishment of civil government in the Philippines. The question of whether an extra ses sion will be necessary may be decided at the meeting of the cabinet today (Tuesday), though it may be postponed to allow additional time for Attorney General Knox and Secretary of War Root to consider the divergent opinions of the judges of the supreme court. The attorney general and the secre tary of war have had several confer-i ences, and although the attorney gen eral would not indicate what conclu sion they would probably reach, he said their views thus far were in complete harmony and reports that there had been any disagreement between them were absurd. Secretary Root said the same. Members of the administration all agree that the postponement of the establishment of a civil government in the Philippines is to be avoided if possible to do so. Civil government would materially change the situation, and the administration wishes to avoid any interim during which it would be possible to collect duty on goods from the Philippines, or to collect customs duties in the Philippines for the sup port of the island government. The attorney general and secretary of war are carefully considering whether the Spooner amendment does not au thorize the collection of duties on im ports from the Philippines to the United States for the benefit of the treasury of The Philippines, Just as duties on im ports from Porto Rico are now collected for the benefit of the treasury of Porto Rico. If this cannot be done they may de cide that the amendment permits the imposition of an export tax on goods shipped froTi the Philippines to the situation that tax to be collected either at the port of departure in the Philip pines or at the port of arrival in the United States and the proceeds to be paid into the insular treasury. SHE IS NO BETTER. Though Mrs. McKinley Passed a Fairly Comfortable Night. Washington, June 4. Dr. Rixey called at the White House this morning, and remained about half an hour. It is re ported that Mrs. McKinley passed a fairly comfortable night, but her con dition this morning shows no improve ment.

Sternberg and Rixey were in consulta tion over an hour at the White House this forenoon. At 11:30 o'clock Secretary Cortelyou gave out the following state ment: "Mrs. McKinley's physicians re port that she has had a comfortable night and that her condition has not materially changed since yesterday." Dr. Rixey calld at the White House at 2:15 o'clock this afternoon and remain ed about five minutes. He reports that Mrs. McKinley was resting easy. Old Newspaper HaD Dead. Youngstown, O., June 4. E.

A disastrous grain fire is raging in the valleys of the foothills about 18 miles southwest of Los Banos. A high west wind is carrying the fire rapidly southeasterly toward the plains. The flames probably have destroyed 20,000 acres of grain and feed at this time. IT IS SUFFICIENT. Spooner Amendment is All That is Needed In the Administration of Phil ippine Affairs. ROOT AND KNOX AGREE All Cabinet Jlembers Endorse Their Opinion. President Announces There Will Ho No Extra Session. Washington, June 4. The cabinet to day unanimously decided that existing conditions do not warrant the calling of an extra session of congress this sum mer. Secretary Root and Attorney General Knox both rendered legal opin ions to the effect that the authority to govern the Philippines vested in the president by the Spooner amendment was ample. These opinions were con curred in by ail the members of the cabinet. i The decision of the cabinet was an nounced a.fter the cabinet meeting in the following statement issued by Sec retary Cortelyou: j"The president has determined that existing conditions do not require or warrant calling congress together dur ing the present summer or making any change in the policy hitherto pursued and announced in regard to the Philip pine islands." It can be authoritatively stated that the Dingley rates upon oo-.ls from th Philippines entering the United Stilt. -a will remain in force as heretofore. Th'i president will put into effect such changes in the tariff duties on goods go ing into the Philippines as the Tuft com mission may recommend. The estab lishment of civil government in ;h archipelago, can proceed without Inter ruption as soon as the military authori ties consider the time ripe for its estab lishment.

Beef on the hooT, as stockmen say, has been advancing in price for the last two weeks until the retail butchers of Chicago have found it necessary to raise their prices to customers, just as the butchers have, done in New York. The unusual fea ture of the advance is that it affect-d only the cheaper grades of meat, and thus places the burden on tne people who can not affoid sirloins and inirter houses at 18 and 20 cents a pound. The advance on wiiat is known ai "cheap stock" such as loins, ribs and chucks, Is 2'4 cents a pound, as com pared with the prices a month ago. "Beef carcasses have gone up nearly Jl a hundred pounds in the; last two weeks," said a representativeof Armour Co., "but this is nothing unusual. Cattle always are higher at this season of the year. The advance will not con tinue long, and it has reached the top mark already." An explanation for the increased coFt of beef is found in the late nrrival of warm weather and the consequent scarcity of grass-fed cattle from the west. The packers have been drawing on the supply of corn-fed cattle, with the result that farmers have demanded better prices. Monitor an .Evening Paper. Fort Scott, Kan.. June 4.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 4, 1901. I found your medi cine a blessing to me and my family." There are women -who feel something like a crui'..:e against the children, who, cue after another rob their mother of her beauty and strength. Men do not usually realize how much the mother gives to each child to her own loss. Women accept it as part of the obligation of Nature and pay the debt grudgingly. Yet in Nature's plan every child is a new jov and fresh happiness. It isn't the children that steal the mother's strength. It is the unnatural drains and pains which weaken her. livery woman who has used Dr. Pierce's Favorite Prescription has found in it the one thing woman has waited for. It stops the drains, heals inflammation and ulceration, makes the baby's advent a pleasure and hi3 life a blessing. No opiates or narcotics are contained in Favorite Prescription." I read whatyonr medicine had done for other people," writes Mr. Hdwin H. Gardner, Box 70. leechwood. Norfolk Co.. Mass., "so thought I would try it. and I found that it was a blessing to me and my family. I began in June and toot sir bottles of your medicine, and three vials of Pellets.' I tok your medicine a year when I had a ten pound girl. I had the easiest time I ever had with any of my children. I have been verv well since. I took three bottles of Favor ile "Prescription, three of Golden Medical Dis covery. and three vials of 'Pellets.' I had no appetite and could not eat much without it dis tressing me. fit-tore I took the medicine I only weighed 155 pounds, and now I weigh 175." Dr. Pierce's pleasant Pellets clear the brain by cleansing the body of the cor ruption which clouds it. RURAL ROUTES REPORT. Zfearly 19,000 Deliveries in Shawnee County During May.

IS A BEG UL All SANDOW Dipping and Chinning His Chief Fine Points. Shirley Ellis Has a Powerful Right Forearm. Cambridge, Mass., June 4. Harvard yieids gracefully to Roy Wirt Allis of the" University of Minnesota, to whom has fal.ien the honor of being the strongest college man among the athletes of Amer ican colleges which have adopted the sys temi of strength tests invented by Dr. Dudley A. Sargent, physical director of Harvard. The strength tests have closed and all the unviersities in the association of college gymnasium directors have matte their reports to the strength test committee. A few weeks ago Allis broke the inter collegiate record by sixteen points, mak ing it total of 1.S&5 points. Previous to this Carl G. Herbert of Harvard held the rec ord, with a total of 1.8ti9 points. On Tues dey, AprU 30, Allis bettered his own mark by itfty-five points, putting up a total of l.SHO. The western giant deserves unusual praite for this marvelous exhibition of physical strength, as he is by no means a fargis man, wtntrhing only 154 pounds. He does exceptionally line work in the dip ping and dunning, doing seventy-one push tips and forty-four pull ups. This individual record ruts not yet been equaled by any American collegian. He made an increi se. of seventeen points in ihe leg lift a. id twenty -three points in the back lift. J-ieither of these lilts is exceptionally good, but it is to his wonderful dipping and chinning work that he owes his great sucees s. Vast, year the individual record was held by Henrv F. Cochems of Harvard, he fall ing short of the westerner by i;;i points. It is believed next year Allis will lind a rival in Tvng. the Harvard freshman who has placed to his credit 1,740 points. R. G. Hali, also a freshman, is a rival well worthy of consideration, caving placed the figures at l.t2. To Carl (j. Herbert falls the second place, with a total of l.StW. Columbia's best man is Harold II. Weeks, who made a total of 1.7 points. Mo points behind Herbert of Harvard. The most zealous trainers at Harvard who have attracted considerable attention are Arthur Tyng, R. O. Hail and Wilbur Card. These three men were sturdy ri vals, and Hall and Tyr.g alternately broke the freshman record several tinis, until at last, with one supreme effort, Tyng put the figures eighty-eight points above his antagonist, with a total of 1.70 points. Hull, much to the disappointment of his friends, concluded not to attempt to break this record, and Arthur Tyng is now held to be the strongest freshman in any of the colleges. Wilbur Card of North Carolina, next best man, made a total of 1,5:34 points, as tonishing all by his marvelous back lilt of !n6 pounds. This is the record for the back lift this year at Harvard, and even Allis fell thirty-two points below it. Shirley Kllis, the big football player, who made a total of l,5i points, has made himself famous by his powerful right forearm. The machines do not register hitch, enough to satisfy the avaricious grasp of this giant, and with one squeeze the dial jumps around to the limit. When he took the leg lift the chain broke, and it is not known to this day what the dial would have read if the links had stood the strain to which his muscular legs sub mitted. BAD FOB. HERRMANN. Great Kace Horse Bleeds Badly After Exercise. Chicago, June 4. There was a double sensation in the Premier stakes at .Hawthorne Monday. Garry Herrmann, the great derby colt, pulled up abso lutely last, bleeding badly, and has probably seen his best days as a race horse. Herrmann bled slightly after a 8'hort workout last Friday, but it was jittributed to a slight cold, and little tear was felt that he would become a li leeder. In his first race since that time, he was making a fine spurt on the back stretch and overhauling the lead er. Operator, when Winkfield saw that his mount was bleeding severely and pulled the colt up. This was not the only sensation that came out of the race. The judges mis placed the third horse. Silverdale came t.long in the stretch and won handily by a. length from Operator. The latter was hcUf a. length in front of Omdurnan, who was only a head in front of Robert "Waddell. Eight lengths behind Robert Waddell came Edith Q., but the judpes posted Kdith Q.'s number third instead o Omdurman's. The owners of all three horses Omdurman, Robert Waddell and Edith Q. went to the stand and told the Judges of their mistake, but the latter refused to change their decision. There was, of course, intense dissatis faction among Omdurman's backers, the colt having been well played to show. PASSING OF BKEITENSTEIN. Once famous Twirler is Now One of the St. Paul Team. Sf. Paul. June Theodore Breiten stein, onca the leading baselall pitcher of the world, is now one of Jimmy Ry an's saints. He has gone out of the twirling business, however, "changed his luck," as it were, and is now an out fielder. He is wanted in St. Paul for his stick work, which is expected to be heavy if he is played every day. Breiten stein, who is a St. Louis lad, achieved great fame as a twirler as one of the: Browns. He was long known as "the $10,000 beauty" after President Brush of the Cincinnati club paid $10,000 to St. Louis for his release. "The" got him self in splendid physical condition this spring, but his great arm had lost its cunning and he was released by Mana ger McPhce. i i Normal's Field Meet Held. Emporia, Kas., June 4. The most successful field day exercises ever given by the athletes of the state normal were given here .Monday at Mitway park. There was a good crowd present, and all of last year's records of the normal were raised. The principal features were the relay races between the four societies.

In Monday's tennis tournament to deciAe the cham i pionship of the Normal and the Em poria college, the college players had an easy victory in both sinples and doubles. The representatives are the best players in their respective schools and have worked hard to win. V. K.il worth and H. Wiley were from the col lege, while S. C. Wooster. Roberts and H. Middiekauf represented the Nor mals. In singles, Kilworth won in straight sets both 6-1. In doubles Kil worth and Wiley won over Wooster and Roberts in straight sets, 6-2 and 6-3. The prizes were offered by .Emporia merchants. Eureka to Play El Dorado. Eureka, June 4.

Peter Dowling. the Southpaw pitcher, who has been with Milwaukee two seasons, having been bought from Pittsburg, was releas ed by the Milwaukee club last evening. Manager Duffy had previously given Cleveland first claim on his services, and he immediately accepted terms from Manager McAleer. He left for Cleveland last night. Duffy expects to release an other player or two next week. Miller Gets Release. Cincinnati, June 4. Charlie Miller, the Cincinnati boy who signed to pitch for the St. Joe team in the Western League, arrived home last night from Denver. Col Miller was pitching great ball fcr his club until he ruptured a ligament in his arm. Manrfger McKibben, of the St. Joe team, decided to farm him out to the Rock Island team, in the Three I. League. Miller asked for his release, however, which was declined, hence his return to the Queen City. A World Jumping Record. New York, June 4. In three standing broad jumps Ray C. Ewry covered a distance of 34 feet 9Vi inches at the games of the Knickerbocker A. C. yes terday, adding an inch and a half to the former world's record. The jump was accomplished without apparent exer tion, and is all the more remarkable in the light of the scores of the second and third men, each of whom fell three feet short of the winner. Mackay Buys "Hi8 Eminence." New York, June 4. The World to morrow will say: His Eminence, the Kentucky derby winner, was purchased yesterday by Clarence Mackay for ?1S, 000.

Billy Cllngman. who played short on Chicago's team last year, has made 63 errors in 2) games for Washington. "Rube" Waddell 13 now threatening the players who try to rattle him. As Eddie carries a gun something may be doing. McLean, the tallest maja flaying base ball, probably will be dropped by the Bos ton American league team. He needs ex perience. Magoon Is playing a much faster game than when he was a member of the Brooklyn nine. He is full of gingx-r and aggressive, and that is just where he faded when he played in the east. "Wild pitches have lost Cincinnati more, games than poor fielding or bad batting," said Irwin. "It seems as if our gang was tho unluckiest in the league iu having a. wild pitch come just when the moot mischief will be done:" Only one of the -western teams. St. Louis, has been able to win the greater portion of a series from the New York nine. Of the three games played by the cardinal men from the Mississippi river, they won two. When a crowd breaks into a field to see a baseball game it is a pretty sure sign the game is popular. The ticket agents at the Polo grounds could not work fast enough Thursday and there had to be a way into that crowd. So a hole was torn near the right field bleachers and some got in. Hugh Jennings was at the Boston grounds and had a long talk with Direc tor Billings. Hugh said the only positions he could fill were first or second base, and he couldn't get away from Cornell until June 15 at that. "St. Jacob Beckley is one player who was 'gone' to all appearances. He 'came back.' and is greater today than he ever was," was the tribute HoGraw paid to the Cincinnati first baseman. "When he was a Pirate and Giant. Beckley only knew one thing and that was to slug the ball. Now he has schooled himself into ranking as one of the most scientific bats men in the business." "If the American league is responsible for the revival of Interest in New York," said Frunk Bancroft. "the National league should send Manning and Burns a vote of thanks for getting the 'dead ones' out of the city. Had Grady, Glea son and Doyle been cut loose two years ago, New York would have been better off." Lewis Carleton Way. a 10-year-old- New York lad, won a season ticket to the Polo grounds for being the first to place cor rectlv the position of the National league base ball clubs on May 25. This is the way he tigured it: First, New York; second, Cincinnati; third. Philadelphia; fourth, Pittsburg: fifth, Brooklyn; sixth, Boston; seventh, St. Louis; eighth, Chicago. MURDERED A WMMl Edward Forsbay Shoots and Kills Edna Stokes iu Chicago. Chicago, June 4. Edward Forshay, of Kansas City, an actor and assistant manager of theatrical companies, last night shot and killed Miss Edna Stokes, an actress, whose home is at Sedalia, Mo., and with whom he was deeply in love. Forshay claims to have met Misa Stokes in St. Louis, six years ago, when they were both playing an engagement. The couple played in different cities of the country until last fall when they came to Chicago and became members of the stock company, playing at the Victoria theater. Forsbay evidently intended to take his life after killing the woman, for upon his person when he was arrested were letters bidding farewell to his mother in Kansas City, and another to Chief of Police O'Neill of this city. The couple had engaged in a desperate quarrel three days ago and Forshay is said to have beaten the actress badly, cutting her head in two places. Miss Stokes gave orders to the proprietor of the Vernon hotel at which she was stop ping that Forshay should not be admit ted to her presence and, although he called there twice during the early part of the evening he was compelled to leave by the attendants. Later he called and the proprietor told him that he could wait in the parlor where Miss Stokes would see him. She came down from her room and the couple talked for about' ten minutes when Forshay suddenly drew a revolver and fired two shots, one passing through the right lung and the other close to the heart. She died almost instantly. After killing the woman Forshay ran from the building, but was pursued and captured. TO SEEF0Ii THE31SELTES. River and Harbor Committee Mem bers Start on a Tour.

I Tj; Proposed Beloit Catholic Church, for Which the Corner Stone Was Laid Today. The Corner Stone of the Catholic Church at Beloit Is Laid Today With Appropriate Ceremonies. A $65,000 STRUCTURE iiishop of Concordia Blesses the Granite Block. Exercises Conducted by Father M. Heitz, Local Pastor. Beloit, June 4. Today, June 4, 1901, the corner stone of the Catholic church of Beloit was laid with imposing cere monies in the presence of a. vast multi tude of people. Father M. Hettz, who has been in charge of the Beloit church for the last three years, had charge of the- celebration. The corner stone, of black granite, from -Maine, was the gift of Hubert Grethen, one of Beloit's large marble and granite dealers. The exercises commenced early la the morning and continued a greater part of the day. In the presence of seven al thousand people the corner stone was blessed by Right Reverend Cunningham, bishop of Concordia, followed by an ad dress in English by Rev. John Malier, of Clyde, and Rev. A. Heiman, of Oden. Barton county, who followed with an address in German. The inscription on the corner stone was in Latin, and trans lated read: "Christ himself is the chief corner stone of the church." Nelson Tulien, contractors and builders of Topeka, are erecting the structure, their bid being $26,045 for only putting up the walls and roofing it. The main building is 152 feet long and 74 feet wide. The two towers are 165 feet high, 110 feet of stone and 65 feet spires, which are set on massive tone founda. tions 2 feet and 9 inches thick. Thi main walls are 2 feet and 6 inches thick below the water table and 2 feet thick above. There will be eight large gTanite piers inside and six smaller ones in front of the structure. The main building is built of Mitchell county stone and the watef table stone is from Bedford, In diana. The handsome cut stone decora tions and ornaments were the products of the the marble and granite works of Hubert Grethen of Beloit. To complete the structure in its entire ty will cost close on to $60,000 or $65,000, taking the cost for all the material used in its construction. The structure will be beautifully ornamented, and will be a creditable and durable monument to the enterprise of the Catholic people, in Beloit, Mitchell county and north cen tral Kansas. SAYS SHE IS 104 TEAKS. An Aged Colored "Woman's Dreary Life at Atchison. tFrom the Atchison Globe. If you axe dipsatisfied with your lot read this: Mrs. Dorothy Talbert, who is credited with being 104 years old, lives at the corner of First and Laramie streets, in a little one room shanty which barely keeps out the storms. The shanty Is surrounded by weeds, and when the aged woman lies down she shuts the door for fear a snake will crawl in. Mrs. Tolbert cooks her own meals on a heating stove, and the county supplies her with provisions. She eays she sel dom has visitors, and is alone in the house for days. She has been sick for several months, and is barely able to be up. She says she gets very lonesome, and when a reporter, called and chatted with her awhile yesterday she thanked him profusely, and insisted that he call again. The squalid surroundings were depressing. Mrs. Talbert says that when she was a girl "waiting on Missus," in the family of Louis "Walla near a place called Prince William in Virginia, there was lots of excitement, and a war, which, if her description is accurate, was the war of 1812. She and her children were sold long before the civil war to Moses Dick son near Liberty, Mo., and with him she remained until she was set free. Mrs. Talbert is undoubtedly a very old wo man, but it is a question whether she is 104 years of age. She says the Bible, in which her age was written, was destroy ed during the war, and she has since Ill L S i r -.r -i i x. v II k i 1 HUN r i .f i.T" r I r M Q "I The Kind You Hare Always in use for over SO years, y and has been made under his per- ,VJ$7jfls. soaAl supervision since Us infancy srsi socc4Z, Allow no one to deceive you In this.

Bicycle High Diver Badly Hurt on the Midway. Buffalo, N. Y., June 4. Teddy Oliver. 19 years old, was probably fatally in jured while doing his act in a midway show at the exposition grounds last night. Oliver's turn was to ride a bicycle off the edge of a platform 40 feet high and dive Into a pool of water below. The water in the basin into which Oliver made the dive is 18 feet deep in the center, the bottom slant ing upward toward the edge of the pool, where It is only fiv feet deep. Just as he reached the edge of the platform his wheel swerved and he was thrown head foremost in the shallow water on the outer edge of the pool.

It is up to congress to evolve a plan which will enable the constitution and the flag- to pull together evenly.

Albany Argus: If everybody is as busy as his telephone line always is when you want to call him, no wonder the world is getting rich! New Bedford Standard: In all con sideration of political action it is well to remember that there is always a day after today. Nothing is more fallacious than the conclusion that anything is settled. There is a marked growth of friend ship between Germany and France. It is not only apparent at the capitals of the two countries but at Tien Tsin, China, soldiers of those countries are found fighting side by side against the British. It will take fifteen more votes to fleet the next president of the t'nited States than it took last fall. The re apportionment Increases the member ship of the house of representatives and of course of the electoral college. There will be 476 members of the next electoral college. These figures are Vised on the supposition that no new states wiil be admitted in time to have a voice in the election. The demand for 2P.O00 harvest hands in Kansas has afforded an opportunity for lecturing the state regarding its past political record, which has been seized upon by nearly every eastern newspaper of any consequence. Kansas is duly grateful for the large amount of free advertising she is receiving. Her people believe if advertising. But at the same time she woviid remind these kind friends that she is amply able to take care of herself politically, and is in no need of advice. It is harvest Ikands she wants. Through the discovery of a new pro cess for making cement Mr. Edison promises to place it within the reach of the builder of the humblest cottage. It will be as cheap as common salt, and when mixed with sand and broken stone in the proportion of one part of cement to three parts of sand and fivo parts of broken stone it will supply a: concrete mixture so cheap and so dur aide that it is certain to supplant plne brick or stone ir. all building opera tions. Houses, in fact, according to Mr, Edison, will simply be "poured" instead of being built. A form, patterned after a design furnished by an architect, will be made of wood or steel and into thia will be poured the concrete mixture. After the concrete solidifies the owner lias a dwelling in which he can defy the elements and the tooth of Time. KANSAS WANTS HELP AGAIN. From the Chicago Times-Herald.) Kansas is in trouble again. This will not b likely to come as a shock to tbei public. Kansas is in trouble so often that people have ceased to get excited; over the announcements cf fresh out breaks. But this is really serious. Kan sas must have 20,000 hands to help har vest her wheat crop, which will soon, be ready for reaping and thrashing. A statement similar to this was sent out of Kansas last year, and we may expect another next year. Kansas sim ply cannot take care of hr crops any more without help from somewhere. She has too much else to do. Funstnn, for instance, is away being a hero, and with him are many other Kansas men who might do good work in harvest fields if they had the time or inclination; but there are swamps to be waded, thickets to be plunged into, insurgents to be captured. William Allen "White is kept busy writing up the Kansas heroes for mag azines, so that he cannot help with the "ops: many other strong men are try- ins to straighten out the complications brought about by Mrs. Nation: others are busy talking about the stability or instability of our institutions, and stiil others are working overtime trying to discover .some way in which Colorado can be prevented from absorbing the Arkansas river before it enters the Sun flower state. Thus we see why it is that Kansas must have outside help when it comes time to harvest her crops. Kansas can always be depended upon to create trou ble that will engage the attention of mankind; she can produce heroes, ora tors and fanatics to supply the world if necessary; but farm hands do not seem to be in her line. This may be unfortunate, but it is un avoidable. A state that is expected to keep forever adding to the gayety of nations must necessarily face the condi tions whereby Kansas is confronted. People cannot take proper care of crops and be picturesque at the same time. TEXAS FUEL SUrPLT. One of the immediate effects of the opening of the new source of fuel sup ply in Texas is to place all industrial establishments in that section depend ing upon steam power upon a more favorable economic basis. This applies to cotton mills, to cotton-seed mills, to cane grinding mills, and all others where coal fuel has hitherto been an expensive element in the cost of pro duction. The producers of fuel oil are well aware of this opportunity to sub stitute, and are making provisions to distribute fuel oil at all railroad points and points accessible to navigation. The influence of this new factor will be felt far beyond the localities direct ly affected. If the use of fuel oil be comes extensive enough it may ma terially reduce the price of coal at the lower Mississippi centers of consump tion and also give a new stimulus to manufacturers In Texas and adjacent territory. The opening of the Beaumont, Tex., oil fields has required new facilities for transportation to the seaboard for that commodity. For this purpose a pipe line has been constructed from the oil tanks at Beaumont to the ship side of the channel leading to Port Arthur, a distance of over 18 miles. Three tanks, of 60,000 barrels capacity each, ai-e lo cated at Elvlsta, about midway between the wells and the seaport, from which intermediate station it is calculated that the oil will flow by gravity. An additional pipe line was opened February 9, 1901, for the conveying of petroleum from Bradford, Pa,, in the northwestern portion of the state, to Mircushook, Pa,, a tide-water point in the Delaware river below Philadelphia, The line extends a distance of SS0 miles, from Bradford to Marcushook. the dis tributing point, where large storage tanks have been built with a capacity of 30,000 barrels. The flow is by gravi tation solely for the last 200 miles of the distance. A special pier of 50 feet in length has been constructed into the river for loading steamers. Wharfage has been secured at four European ports, and a fleet of ten modern oil carriers has been built expressly for this trade. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. How people love a little excitement! Mention a new dress, and the wearer is sure to tell you what it cost. We all have a habit of telling in a fierce manner what we are going to do to our enemies. A Woman never knows how old she is getting until she goes to a milliner's and tries on hats. When a man feels in his pockets for a letter to show you, ever notice how many useless things he carries? We have found in a long experience in a newspaper oflice that a perfumed letter is apt to contain nothing worth reading. When a mother breaks a dish or up sets something, all the children scream, ''Well, if I had done that, what would you say?" A man never has as much difficulty in getting the girl's consent as the novels claim, and is never as happy after marriage as the novels picture. The most helpless looking thing on earth is a big strong man holding a little baby in a dry goods. store while his wife shops. W'hen a certain Atchison man has the nightmare he dreams that he is a girl clerk at a dry goods store on the day of a special sale. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Even the bee in a bonnet may have a sting in its tail. Some men are too lazy to even stand in their own light. No. Maude, dear, the weather bureau is not a clearing house. Early to bed and early to rise makes a man know w hen the baby cries. A reasonable amount of egotism keeps a man from brooding too much over his neighbor's success. Some men will pay $1.30 for whisky for medicinal purposes, and then kick over a 35-cent prescription at the drug store. The Lord may help those who help themselves, but He doesn't forget those that gamble in stocks. Matrimony." says the Manayunk Philosopher, "is a partnership arrange ment in which there is usually one silent partner." Wigwag "There is nothing so posi tive, so emphatic, as a woman's will." Henpeckke "Humph! It isn't in it with a woman's won't!" A ball player named Lajoie From the National League foil did stroie. Colonel Rogers was nettled. But the Courts have now settled The question of where he may ploie. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. All work and no plagiarism is apt to make a dull sermon. Logic evidently has legs, otherwise it could not stand to reason. Love may be blind, but in financial mailers ti nas a sensitive touch. There are two kinds cf ambition; one soars and the other crawls. A quack pretends to cure other men's disorders, but dies of his own. Procrastination may be the thief of time, but there are other watch lifters. When a courtship ends in marriage romance ceases and history commences. To say the good di young- is a stand ing invitation to the small boy to be bad. No man is truly wise who has never been up against at least one bunko game. We are admonished "never do things by halves," but how about opening oysters? Figures may not lie. but a smooth ac countant can make them stand for the cash he is short. Tou are apt to get some of the things oyu are waiting for much quicker if you tip the waiter. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. No woman is ever companionable when she haa company. A woman who won't tell a secret is about as rare as a kitchen sink that won't spatter. In the day3 when husbands were al lowed to whip their wives by law there weren't any new women. In all probability Eve took up with, the snake because she thought he had "such expressive eyes." For the first week after a girl has proposed to him a man reads every suicide story in the paper wth, a dread ful fear at his heart. JAYHAWKEB JOTS. The race for the next senator of Kan sas is beginning to assume many fea tures of a ten inning game. Alfalfa is being planted along me roadside in Jewell county to drive away the sandburrs and sunflowers, A Smith county farmer has 350 acres of Kaffir corn and cane which he esti mates will make l,0vu tons of feed. The Phillipsburg News celebrated the beginning of its third year with eight pages of local news and a snirt-waisted devil. A Sherman county farmer" has plowed up a Masonic charm supposed to have been lost by Coronado three hundred years ago. A Gray county man is training and taming 14 young prairie dogs which he will take to England as souvenirs for his friends. Mrs. Nation is compelled to seek so lace for her woes in the supreme court which shows Just what liquor will bring a woman to. Frost nipped the potato vines in Sher man county the other night and the cit izens will have to take their new peas without the murphys. It was a little ElDorado girl who sprinkled eight ounces of her mother's choice perfumery on the window plants to make 'em smell like Dinks. Atchison bobs up with a rhubarb plant leaf six feet in circumference which no housewife has yet been brave enough to attempt to corral into a pic. Topeka's chief of police had quite a discussion recently with a barkeeper as to the proper manner of entering the door. Would this be called a. "Joint" de bate? CLEARED A MILLION.

Senator Chauncey M. Depew Speaks on Noted Americans. At the Hall of Fame, New York, Me morial Day exercises Senator Depew spoke as follows: "There has been the broadest catho licity of Judgment and no passions or prejudices of sectarians, parties or creeds among the Judges. The action of the tribunal is a remarkable exhibit of the disappearance of the bitterness of the civil war. Though a large majority of the electors were from the north General Lee is placed beside General Grant and Lincoln received every vote from the south, save one. "The gentlemen upon whom has de volved the first selection have found in the wide field open to their choice only 29 whom a majority thought fit to fill the panels of this hall. There may be disappointment and mortification that after three hundred years of settle ment in our country and 10U of national life the harvest should be so small. But our situation was unique and original. Wre were not a conquering people, ab sorbing and adopting the civilization, arts and accumulations of a subject na tion. "If the viking could come from his Valhalla, the Arcopagio from beneath the temples of Athens, the arbiter ele gantiae from the ruins of Rome, the mediaeval knight from his armor, Fred erick from Pottsdam, or Napoleon from Invalides. to view these heroes, they would have only contempt for this de velopment of democracy. The inventor of the application of steam to naviga tion, of the electric telegraph and of the cotton gin, the artisans who were In their time and in their world the herd or mass born to bear the burdens and work for the luxuries of their masters, are here crowned with the fadeless laurels which encircle the brows of the conquerers and rulers of the world. "The emancipation of labor has been followed by its recognition and the dig nity of its function in human affairs; and now a pathway is opening up the difficult ascent of Parnnsius. The tri umphs of industrial genius have cre ated conditions by which millions can live in comfort and hope, where thou sands dwelt in poverty and despair. They have made possible gigantic for tunes, which are the wonder of our day. But the material revolution and its rich results which are thus emphasized have diverted the mind, culture and ambition of ingenious youth to paths of gain rather than fame, unless, under a new code, gain in large measure be fame. The dollar, or its eager pursuit, we'-rhs down the wings of genius and prevents its flight to the lofty heights where con gregate the Homers and Shakespeares. Miltons and Byrons;the Michael Angelos and the Raphaels and their peers. Our time does not produce their equals. "We have now no Tennysons, nor Longfellows, nor Hawthornes. nor Emersons. Perhaps it is because our Michael Angelos are planning tunnels under rivers and through mountains for the connection of vast systems of rail ways and our Raphaels are devising some novel method for the utilisation of electrical power; our Shak'speares are forming gigantic combinations of corporate bodies; our Tennysons are giving rein to fancies and imagination in wild speculations in stocks and our Hawthornes and Emersons have aban doned the communings with and revela tions of the spirit and soul which left readers to a vision of the higher life and the joy of inspiration to exploit mines and factories. "When this period of evolution is over and nations and communities have be come adjusted to normal conditions, the fever and the passion of the race for quick wealth and enormous riches will be over. Then the grove, the academy and the study will again become ten anted with philosophers, poets.historians and the interpreters of God in man. Un less this shall happen, then let the lux uries and opportunities evanescent earthly pleasure and the disappearance after death which comes from leadership in business be the rewards of the suc cessful; but reserve the temple of fame for those only w hose deeds and thoughts are the inheritance, education, inspira tion and aspiration of endless genera tions."

G TOPEKA STATE JOUENAL, TUESDAY EVENING. JUNE 4, 1901. 3IIQRSSTRI!(E. Washburn Graduates Kesent 'ew Rule of r acuity. Refuse tu Tate Examinations as Required. DEMAND A VACATION. Leare School Today in Accord ance With Precedent. Outcome of Controversy is Watched With Interest. The Washburn seniors are out on a strike. They have taken their doll rags end departed to their several habita tions, end the professors who teach the senior classes are out of employment. The strike actually commenced to day, but it has been brewing- for sone time. Out of a class of 17 seniors all are members of the "union" but one. This one "scab" says that the members of the class ought to obey the faculty. The seniors make two demands: First, the abolition of their final ex aminations. Second, the right to have a Vacation cf one week prior to commencement day. There seems to be some division among the members of the faculty, as there is in tiie class itself. Some of the faculty are inclined to side with the seniors, and say that their demands should be granted. The seniors base their demands on a precedent established sotie years ago, when the college seniors were required t deliver orations. At that time the faculty not only allowed the seniors a "week's vactaion at the end of the term to finish up the preparation of their orations, but they also allowed them to escape the terrors of a final examina tion. This plan was followed until this year. Nowadays the seniors do not have any orations. They have a commence ment crator instead. But each member of the class is required to write a thesis and hand it in. The seniors think tnat a thesis ouglit to be as good a ground for a vacation as an oration. There were only a few seniors to be sefn around the college today. Those v. ho are there are simply a guard, to see to it that none of the weaker kneed classmates did not attend any classes. The situation has not yet reached the dimensions of the anthracite coal miners' strike, and it probably will be unnecessary to call out the militia just yet. The members of the faculty are non committal on the situation, and seem t be resting easy with some trump cards to play. The faculty seems to have a good grip on the situation, pro vided it refuses to be bluffed into sub mission by the fear of having its en tire graduating class quit school. The members of the senior class are: Miss Alida Maude Cook, Miss Grace A. MeClure. Hiss lna Shaw, Miss Cora Silvernail, Miss Dorothy Tuckerman, Charles R. Ietwiler. Adam G. Frank, Lincoln C. Hodge. Delbert B. Kirk patrick. Victor G. Kropf, Walter G. I.ux. Harry Lewis Nelson. Albert W. Newcomb, Edwin Lester O'Neil, Geo. L. Seelev, Edwin B. Titt, Sherman A. Willard. PRESIDENT SATS IT'S OVER. At noon today President Geo. M. Her rick said to a reporter for the State Journal: "I have been informed by an officer of the senior class that all dif ferences which may have existed be tween the senior class and the faculty have ceased to exist." "Upon what basis was the difficulty Bxiiusted?" he was asked. "There was no difficulty," replied iPres'dent Herrick, "consequently there was no adjustment necessary." "Did the seniors attend their classes this morning?" "As a class the seniors were present," eaid President Herrick with admirable discretion. "Will the seniors be granted a vaca tion, and will they be required to take an examination at the end of the term "Vpon that point I have not been In formed." replied the president. "My in formation in regard to the settlement f the misunderstanding comes from en officer of the senior class." One of the seniors said this morning that the members of the class would continue to attend chapel exercises during the next w eek, "just to keep up appearances." CHANGE OF FRONT. County Commissioners Now Talk En couragingly of State Fair. At the conference Monday afternoon be tween the county commissioners of Shaw nee county and the joint committee of the Commercial club and the Topeka Exposi tion company, the commissioners talked encouragingly. Although the reauest of the committee asking for an appropriation of $4. OK) to help put the fair grounds into repair was not granted, partly because of a lack of funds on tiie part of the county and part ly because the commissioners are still in doubt as to their legal rieht to appropri ate money for the purpose asked, thev Fhowed that they were heartily in favor of the fair and agreed to submit to tiie result of a petition of the majority of the taxpayers of the county on the proposi tion. The project which has the backing of the Commercial club will be boomed bv the circulation of a set o petitions which are now being prepared, asking the coun ty commissioners to assess a 2 per cent levy lor two years to defray the expense of putting the fair grounds Into shape. The commissioners will be guided en tirely by the result of the circulation of these petitions. If a sufiioient number of signers from among the total number of taxpayers of the county are secured the assessment will be made. The necessary amount of money will, however, be re quired to be advanced bv Topeka capital ists for the reason that the county treas ury is empty and will be until after the time that the money will be required for the fair. The state fair people are confident now that the holding of the state fair is as. pured and that its success can not be cioupted. ..Why'" sald IT- Samson this morning. the people are all worked up to tins pro.'eet.

Examination of witnesses in the trial of Lulu Prince Kennedy for the murder of her husband, Philip H. Kennedy, contracting agent of the Merchants' Dispatch Transporta tion company, will, it is expected, begin on Thursday morning. The panel of forty-seven veniremen from which will be selected the jury of twelve has been selected and the case postponed until to morrow. At that time the, state will strike off "fifteen names from the list of forty-severn and the defense twenty. It is believed that twelve men will be ac-r cepted promptly, and that the opening statements will be begun before court adjourns Wednesday. Prosecutor iaa ley says the state will finish its case by Friday noon and the counsel for de fense profess to believe that it will be given to the jury no later than Saturday night. Other court officials, however, taking into consideration the fact that nearly 200 witnesses have been sub poenaed and the care which each side has exercised in preparing ror tne case say the trial will last well into next week. Mrs. Kennedy appeared light hearted today and expressed a desire to see the trial finished quickly. OEneiupT go. Trial of the Professor Begins at Grinnell, Iowa. On Charge of Conduct Unbecom ing a Minister. Des Moines, June 4. At Grinnell, Io., the trial of Prof. George T. Herron. charged with conduct unbecoming a minister, began at 11 o'clock this morn ing in the Congregational church of that city with thirteen churches of the dis trict represented as follows: The First Congregational church of Chester Center, Newburg, Oilman, Mar shalltown, Garnforth, Victor, Iowa City. Oskaloosa, Kellogg, Newton, Mitchelt ville and Burlington, and the Plymouth church of Des Moines. It was called to order by Dr. Boardman of Marshall town, the oldest minister present. Dr. Herron has sent a letter in his own defense dealing with his specific, individ ual case, and not with marriage and di vorce in general. He states that he was called on a divine mission a3 a sort of new prophet and that his wife did not give him her sj'mpathy and apprecia tion, so that the home atmosphere was uncongenial. With the Rands all was different and they aided him in work, in deed and with money. He and iiis wife discussed the matter many times and finally agreed to separate and he went away that the desertion plea might stick. The letter will not change thejv sult however, although it came as a sur prise, it not being expected that any de fense would be made. That Herron will be expelled from the church before adjournment tonight is a foregone conclusion. Evidence of the civic trial at Algona will be introduced. Twenty-six jurors are present and be fore the trial eight said they would fa vor expulsion, even before hearing testi mony. Dr. A. L. Frisbie and Rev. E. J. Van Horn represent Plymouth of Des Moines. TWO GOOD BATTLES. Sloffatt and Gardner and Boot and Carter to Fight in Frisco San Francisco, June 4. The San Francisco Athletic club has secured three good matches for its open air ex hibition which is to be held at Six teenth and Folsom streets on the after noon of July 4. Jack Moffatt of Chi cago and George Gardner are to battle for the middleweight championship of the world; Jack Root and Kid Carter, who are now in the light heavyweight class, are to box twenty rounds, and the opening event will be between Al Neill and Charles Thurston. TO EJECT SOONERS. Gen.Merriam is Ordered to Use Troops in Kiowa Territory. Washington, June 4. At the request of the interior department the secretary of war has instructed General Merriam, commanding the department of the Colorado, to employ as many of his troops as may be necessary to maintain order on the Kiowa reservation in Ok lahoma. This action is based on a dis patch from Colonel Randlett in charge of the Kiowa and Comanche agency, re porting that at least 1,000 intruders had settled in the Wichita mountains which are within the Kiowa lands soon to be opened to settlement and that they claimed the right to do so under the Vnited States mineral laws. Secretary Hitchcock said today that they had no rights whatever and that they would be promptly ejected- HAVE A PRIVATE CAR. Railroad Commissioners Make Their First Trip in State. The state board of railroad commission ers went out last night over the "Union Pacilic to Saiina. They had the benefit of the private car of General Superintendent J. A. BrinkerhoH from here.

Fayors a New Ordinance Making Many Changes. HE MIGHT GET $2,000. Legislature Authorized City to Pay That Sum. Other City Officers VFho Think They Are Underpaid. Mayor Hughes is in favor of having a salary ordinance passed, revising the old schedule of pay, creating new jobs wherever it seems necessary, and gen erally reorganizing some X the depart ments of the city. Among other things, the council may raise the pay of the mayor himself from $900 to $2,000 a year. This is quite an important item to the mayor. The last legislature made provision for such a raise in pay, and of course the mayor would like the raise. City Treasurer Hale ia in a similar boat. His pay is only $50 a month, with $10 for clerk hire. The last legislature granted authority to the council to raise this to $100 a month. Mr. Hale claims that this should be paid him without any quibbling, and he has filed a bill every month for $100 salary, which the com mittee on claims and accounts has reg ularly cut down to the old figure. Several other of the city employes are clamoring for more pay. W. S. Fulton, who thought that he had been appointed assistant city engineer, thinks that the council should raise his pay to match this title. It has been dis covered, however, that the city ordinances provide for no such position as assistant city engineer. City Kngi neer McCabe says that he has no au thority to either appoint an assistant, or to raise anybody's pay. Last April an ordinance was intro duced before the council making some changes in the present salaries, but this ordinance has never been reported. It is in the hands of the ways and means committee. Now that Mayor Hughes has interest ed himself in the matter, he may induce the council to fix up some new regula tions about the pay for city officials. Mayor Hughes says of the proposed ordinance: "The city of Topeka has been working under the present salary ordinance for about sixteen years. It is time the old ordinance was fixed up. The legislature authorized the city to pay its council.-nen $200 a year instead of $50. It also authorized the pay of the mayor to be raised to $2,000, and the pay of the city treasurer to $1,200. Everybody knows that the members of the city council do $200 worth of work a year. I think that the council should give itself more pay. The city of AS lch ita has raised the salary of its coun- cilmen to the full limit $200 a year." It was suggested to Mayor Hughes that his own services should be worth $2,000 a year, but the mayor modestly replied: "Oh, I don't know about that." The salary revision ordinance, which is now in the hands of the ways and means committee, does not fix the sal ary of the mayor or councilmen. The place for the insertion of these amounts is left blank. The council as a whole will have to put in the figures. WlflS RICH BRIDE. Mr. Harry S. Lehr Married to Mrs. John V. Dahlgren. New Tork, June 4 Monday noon love ly Mrs. John Vinton Dahlgren was married to Harry S. Lehr in St, Patrick's Cathedral here. Mrs. Dahl gren was led to the altar by her cousin. George W. Chllds Drexel of Philadelphia. She had neither maid of honor nor bridesmaid. A wedding breakfast was served at her mother's home, 20 West P ifty-sixth street. Mr. and Mrs. Lehr will go abroad for a brief stay and then go to Newport. Mr. Lehr s home was originally in Baltimore, where his father came as a German consul, and where his family still lives. He was an unknown wine merchant until one night a few years ago he waded in a public fountain with Mrs. "Freddie" Gebhard. This incident gave him the title of an "original young man," and it was not long afterwards that Mrs. Elisha Dyer introduced him to the most exclusive circles in New York. Next he became private secretary to Mrs. Astor, and set all Newport laugh ing one day by escorting Mrs. Stuyves ant Fish, Mrs. Herman Oelrichs, and a rag doll around the streets of that fashionable resort. Mr. Lehr. however, has no fortune at present save his enter taining personality. His bride is worth any where from $1,000,000 to $10,000,000. Mr. Lehr and Mrs. Dahlgren are about of an age. Their wedding which was solemnized by Archbishop Corrigan at tracted more attention than any the "400" has seen since Miss Vanderbilt t-' i f e it''1 J it :S? n Harry lehr, the Beau BriMnmel of American Society, Wedded to Sirs.

Inside information concerning the action of the Cuban con vention on the Piatt amendment has just been received in Washington. It ap pears that the first draft of the amend ment as interpreted by the majority of the committee on relations with the Uni ted States was submitted to Gen. Wood and by him sent to Washington. This draft was approved by Secretary Root and his approval was made known to the Cuban convention. When the mat ter came up for discussion however,' It was found that there were a number of delegates whose votes could only be ob tained by the extended alterations, amendments and interpretations which finally were adopted by the convention and rejected by Secretary Root. It is stated officially that the people of Cuba believed at first that the Piatt amendment had been adopted and they wer3 satisfied. The belief is expressed in official circles here that the Cuban peo ple as a whole are perfectly satisfied with the Piatt amendment and that it will finally be adopted. i BRISTOW IS HERE.

Kansas Visited by Heary Rains Last Night. Quarter of an Inch to Over Two Inches Fell. MORE RAIN IS COMING. Sir. Jennings Thinks Chances Are Favorable. Hail Does Slight Damage Near Saiina. Last night's rain was quite general over the state, unofficial reports giving the precipitation from a quarter of an inch to two and half inches, with some hail. The rain as measured at the weather bureau office here amounted to 34 hun dredths of an inch and commenced fall ing at midnight. While the rain for the most part, w as not heavy it came in time to save crops suffering from the recent drought. Weather Observer Jennings has not received the official reports from the Kansas stations and will not receive them before tomorrow but from unoffi cial' reports he believes the rain general over the state and sufficient to help the fields that were about burning up. "The Tain came from the west," said Mr. Jen nings, "and west of here the rain was felt first and was in many places heav ier. I heard last evening that there was rain west of Belleville. The chances are favorable for more rain." The forecast sent out today is, "Gen erally fair tonight and Wednesday ex cept probably thunder storms in east portion." The minimum temperature to day was 60 at 4 o'clock this morning and by 10 o'clock this morning the thermom eter had climbed, up to 75. The wind has been blowing 14 miles an hour from the south which is favorable for more rain. The reports received at the Rock Is land offices show rains from a half inch to an inch on the Horton, Herington, Fairbury and Omaha divisions. Reports received from Saiina are that a heavy rain accompanied by wind and hail visited there last night and that some crops will suffer on account of the hail. A good rain was reported at Marys- ville which commenced at 9 o'clock and lasted till after midnight. RAIN REACHED TO GREAT BEND. The reports received at the Santa Fe offices show a good rain over the lines of that road with but few exceptions. The reports show rain from Newton to Great Bend from one to two inches, no rain at Wellington and no rain from Earned to Spearviile. There was a light rain at Dodge City and an inch and a half of rain at Jetmore. From Rush Center to Scott City no rain was report ed.

A cool week, with but little rain any where, Clark, Decatur, Harper and Ness being the only counties reporting suffi cient to measure, and no rain over the larger portion of the state. EASTERN DIVISION. Wheat is in fair condition generally, and would be improved by timely rains; bugs and the fly have caused some dam age in Chautauqua and rust in Chero kee; it is not filling well in Jackson, is being damaged in the southeastern part of Brown, and is suffering in Doniphan. Corn needs rain; the fields have been well worked and the clean and the crop generally is doing fairly well; much re planting has been done; chinch bugs are injuring some fields in Elk; some of the corn is dying in Jackson, It is suffering in Doniphan, is not doing well in Brown, and is at a stand still in Nemaha. Oats are in poor condition, and in Crawford are being ruined by the Texas wheat-louse. Grass is suffering in the northeastern counties. Alfalfa has yielded a fine crop, the first cut ting now being generally in the stack in good condition. New potatoes are be ing marketed in the southern counties. The strawberry crop has been much shortened by drought. Cherries are be ing marketed in the south and are ripen ing in the central counties. MIDDLE DIVISION. Wheat is generally doing well, though the fly has damaged some fields in the central counties; it is ripening in Cow ley and Barber, and soft wheat is in the dough in Sumner. Corn grows slowly, but generally looks well though quite backward; a black bug is hurting it in Butler, and cut-worms are injuring it in McPherson; frost hurt it In Barton.

White arsenic is the form in which ar senic is eaten by the peasants of Siyria and the Tyrol. Prof., Sehaiigrueber of Graetz was the first to call attention to this practice in a report which he made in 1S22 to the Austrian government on the cause of the numerous deaths from ar senic poisoning in tnuso tiistricts. He found -that arsenic was kept in most of the houses in 1,'pper Styria under the name of "hvdraeh," evidently a corrup tion of "Huttenrauch.V or furnace smoke. His statements were subsequently con firmed from personal observation by a Dr. McClagan of Euiisbureh, but for many years afterward the arsenic eaters were generally disbelieved in; and it was not till lMiO that C. Heisch published con vincing evidence. Arsenic is principally eaten by hunters and woodcutters, with the object of ward ing off faligue and improving their stay ing powers. Owing to the fact that the sale of arsenic is illegal in Austria with out a doctor's certificate, it is difficult to obtain definite information of a habit which is kept as secret as possible. Ac cording to Dr. Lorenzo, in that district the arsenic is taken fasting, usually in a cup of coifee. the first dose being minute, but increased day by day until it some times amounts to the enormous dose of twelve or fifteen grains. He found that the arsenic eaters were usually long lived, though liable to sudden death. They have a very fresh, youthful appearance, and are seldom attacked by infectious diseases. After the first dose the usual symptoms of slight arsenic poisoning are evident, but these soon disappear on con tinuing the treatment. In the arsenic factories in Salzburg It is stated that workmen who are not arsenic eaters soon succumb to the fumes. The manager of one of these works informed Mr. Heisch that he had been medically advised to eat arsenic before taking up his position. He considered that no one should begin the practice before 12 years old, nor after 30, and that in any case after 50 years of age the daily dose should be gradually reduced, since otherwise sudden death would ensue. If a confirmed arsenic eater suddenly attempts to do al together without the drug, he immediate ly succumbs to the effect of arsenic poi soning. The only way to obviate this is to gradually acclimatize the system by reducing the dose from day to day. As further evidence of the cumulative prop erties of arsenic, it is interesting to note that when the graveyards in Upper Syria are opened the bodies of the arsenic eat ers can be distinguished by their almost perfect state of preservation, due to the gradually accumulated arsenic.

WH EAT Intense ex citement prevailed in the wheat pit here today, shorts, frightened by yesterday's heavy purchases by commission houses, making a rush to buy at the sound of the 1C higher, at 78-1t79VsC. Large lines were put out by the house credited yesterday with manipulating a corner and the shorts were fed with a lavish hand. Under the spell of liquidation the prices declined by easy stages. The volume of trade was big. Littie attention seemed to be paid at first to reports of rains in the north west, said to be copious in the Xakotas, Kansas and Nebraska. Finally, however, this influence caused a break and July declined steadily to TT-ic, with little doing at that figure. September wheat was of fered more freely and was relatively weaker. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 323 ears aKainst 3HS cars last week and 554 cars a year ago. Local receipts were 174 cars 4 bf contract grade. The decline in July wheat continued until 75c was reached. Under buying back by those who had sold earlier, a reaction set in, carrying the price back to 77Hc, and then under profit taking the market again declined to 76c. Sub sequently on covering by shorts there was an improvement to 77c, and the close weak and lplc lower, at 76c. CORN The corn market found a fair demand, principally for the outside ac count. July corn opened Hic lower on liberal receipts, at 441'a44nRC, sold to 44--& fi442C holding steady. Local receipts were 643 cars 3 of contract grade. Close was steady and c lower at 44i4c. The remainder of the session was extremely dull. July corn fluctu ated narrowly around the price made soon after the opening. OATS The oats market was easier in sympathy with corn. Offerings were light and there was a good outside demand on the decline. July oats opened H;aVic lower, at 2Wba2$ic, sold down to 2Vc and steadied. The volume of trade was light. PROVISIONS Provisions were udll and firm in sympathy with higher prices for hogs. July pork opened frulOc higher, at $14.H5, and under liberal offerings declined to $14.65; Julv lard opened 670 higher, at $S.22W,!5S.25, and July ribs 2c higher, at $7.87i." FLAX Cash N.

EGGS Fresh, Sc. i Gram Letter Chicago, June 4. WHEAT Copious rains fell in Kansas last night and cables were not up to our advance of yesterday, but there was a continua tion of. the "squeeze" In July and the price of that future opened on a range of 78c to 79c, and sold at 7SM;C in a very short time. Short covering quick ly exhausted itself, however, and heavy selling started prices on the down grade. July selling as low as 75c. a drop of over four cents a bushel from the top. Receipts were rather light in the northwest. 323 cars, against 554 for the same day a year ago. On the break there was good buying of wheat, both September and July, and the closing was steady at the decline. These set backs are only natural In a bull mar ket, and we believe prices are going to work much higher. Would buy the Sep tember as it ought to go to a' premiu-n over July. Export demand is improv ing. Receipts today, 174 cars; estimat-.-d tomorrow, 65. CORN Corn was weak In sympathy with wheat. There was good support on the fractional decline. Crop condi tions are very poor, and the country stations are bare of stocks. Bel&ve corn is a safe purchase. OATS Oats are steady. Commission houses sold moderately but t,he buying was of a gilt-edged character. Oats are a safe purchase, and the price is sure to work to a much higher range. PROVISIONS Weak. Packers sold July pork and scalpers bought. Warm weather is coming on and prices of hog products are liable to work lower. A. G. GOODWIN. New York Stock Letter. New Tork. June 4. The ptork mnrk-t yesterday reached the bight st record j since the temporarv culmiimi ion of the bull movement in the first week of Miy. In the face of heavy realizing snlea there was a new buying force ex rted that prices made an advance throughout the entire list with scarcely an exception. There was also an unusually good distri bution of business, and while two or three issues reached a rather extraordinary record in the way of dalins, there were nearly three dozr-n stocks which were traded in excess of 10, 01 shares each. The diversification of the speculation was also shown by the fact that the buoyancy and activity of the day were participated in by railroad shares and in dustrials and local traction issues. Lon don bouerht stocks and commission house had liberal orders. It can not be paid that there was anything especially important in the new developments of the day to spur the market on to a higher level. Market Gousirj. Furnished by A. Ci. Ooodwin.
