II ad One Wife in Missouri, An other iii Topeka. WIFE KO. 1 IS HERE. Swore to Complaint Against the Recreant Husband. Four Children in St. Joe and One in Topeka. William Bristol of St. Joseph, la un der arrest in Topeka on the charge of disorderly conduct and bigamy. Mr. Bristol 19 a traveling- man and repre sents Meyers, Brenaman Co., of St. Louis, w holesale harness and saddlery. He was arrested at the Chesterfield ho tel last night at about midnight oy Po lice Officers Bernard and Miler. He was today turned over to the state for pros ecution. Mr. and Mrs. William Bristol live in St. Joseph. He is the father of four children who live at home with their mother, while he is on the road. The oldest of the children is a boy, IS years old and the youngest is a boy, still in dresses. One of the four is a girl about It) years old. Mrs. Bristol has suspected her hus band of leading a double life for some time and she came to Topeka yesterday after learning of the true state of af fairs, and accompanied the police offi cers to the hotel to cause his arrest. He was taken completely by surprise. This morning she swore out a com plaint before County Attorney Galen Nichols for the arrest of her husband and the woman known as Blanche Bris tol who she claims alienated her hus band's affections. Blanche Bristol and .William Bristol are the parents of a child about 2 years old. The suspicion of a knowledge that all was not right came to Mrs. William Bristol about a year ago. "A telegram came to my husband." she Eaid, "while lie was away on a trip. I opened it and read information that his child was very sick and urged him to come to Topeka at once. It was signed Blanche. "When my husband came home I asked him about it and he asserted that It must be a mistake; that the telegram must have been for some one else of the same name. He asked me to put on my hat and we went to the telegraph office where he denied that the telegram was for him. I could not help but think about it more or less and when on several occasions he inadverently called me Blanche, I could not help thinking of the telegram signed Blanche. I asked him about it and he said that Blancha was a little girl whom he knew. "Later the firm for whom my hus band travels, wrote about some bilis which were presented at the house for payment. And this is the manner in which I learned about the woman who claimed to be his wife in Topeka." The matter was brought to the at tention of the firm through F. J. Lynch, Into whose hands had been put the bills for collection. "The bills," said Mr. Lynch, "were from the nurse at Christ hospital and the doctor who was called to attend to Blanche Bristol's child when it had the scarlet fever last year. STie was 11-Ing at a rooming house on Tyler street then. I tried to collect th money from him. but could get no sat isfaction and consequently wrote in lo the house concerning him. Correspond ence soon developed the fact that he was leading a double life. To the firm lie denied that he had a wife and one child and to me he claimed that he had, and that he did not have a wife an 1 four children as the information derived from the firm Indicated. "I entered into correspondence with Mrs. Bristol at St, Joseph and she ask ed me to begin an action against her husband. I replied that she would have to come here and do that herself which she accordingly did." The action brought against Mr. Bris tol this morning was for bigamy. "Pro ceedings for a divorce will follow," said Mrs. Bristol. The woman known as Blanche Bristol visited Mr. Bristol at the police sta tion this morning. She talked to him .through the bars of the door. Almost the first words he asked her was: "I never married you did I?" "N-n-o-o-o," she answered In a hesi tating way between sobs. She was al most completely broken down. Mrs. William Bristol is a handsome woman. She brought her two youngest children to Topeka with her. while the cider ones are still in St. Joseph. She shows no outward signs of her grief al though by her demeanor it may be seen that she Is undergoing a great mental Btraln. "We have lived In St. Joseph nearlv all of our lives," she said. "His parents are old people and I am afraid the shock of learning this news will be al most too much for them." A State Journal reporter called upon Mrs. Blanche Bristol at the county jail shortly after noon. She refused to say anything fr publication. When asked whether or not she had been ma.rried to William Bristol, she re plied that she had nothing to sav until she appeared on the witness stand "Did you not admit at the police tation this morning that vou were not married to Mr. Bristol?" asked th re porter She refused to again commit herself, saying she would not say any thing until the day of trial. Both William Bristol and the woman known as Mrs. Blanche Bristol are in the county jaiL SIXTH WEEK Cf the Trial of Dr. Kennedy For Mur der of Dolly Reynolds. New Tork, June 10. Today marked the beginning of the sixth week of the trial of Dr. Samuel J. Kennedy on the charge of murdering Emeline Reynolds in the Grand hotel on the night of Aug ust 15-16. 1S9S. Alfred Wagner, a cab driver at St. George Staten Island was the first witness today. He testified that on the night of August 15, Dr Ken nedy was a passenger on the ferryboat which arrived at St. George at 12-43 a IS. Dr. Kennedy who was intoxicated asked the witness how much he would charge him to Newdorp and he said $5. Dr. Kennedy then walked toward a trolley car. The defendant, the witness said wore a dark suit and a black der by hat. The prosecution sought to Imply bad character in the cross-examination of this witness. The witness denied that the defense had offered him anything beyond his expenses for his affidavit. HOPE REVIVES. Slight Improvement Noticed in Mrs. McKinley's Condition. Washington, June 10. Dr. Rixey came to the White House shortly after 8 o'clock this morning. When leaving after a short stay of 10 minutes he said Mrs. McKinley had passed a good night, but there was po change in her condi tion. After the usual consultation of Mrs. McKinley's physicians the following statement was issued: "Mrs. McKinley's physicians report that her condition is favorable and that she continues to show a gradual Im provement." PRESIDENT FEELS ENCOURAGED. AVashington, June 10. The continued improvement in Mrs. McKinley's condi tion reported by her physicians is notice able at the White House in a perceptible relief from the intense anxiety that has existed there ror the last ten days. Al though she is by no means out of dan ger and there is constant fear of re lapse, for the present she seems to be on the up grade, and the president is more cheerful. He saw a few callers today and to his visitors expressed his encour agement. V hue Mrs. McKinley a condi tion tluctuated, he said, she appeared brighter this morning than she had for some days. At noon the president went out for a stroll through the White House grounds with Controller of the Currency Dawes. The president talked very hopefully of Mrs. McKinley's condition, and appear ed much refreshed when he returned to the White House. The slifrht improvement in Mrs. Mc Kinley's health, which manifested itself the latter part of the week, continues, and hope begins to be felt that she may after all recover from the present at tack. The improvement, however, is so slight as not to change materially the extreme gravity of the case. The fact that Mrs. McKinley has more than held ther own and that no unfavorable turn has occurred is con sidered in every way encouraging, but as this result is due partly to the con stant use of powerful medicines, the physicians fear the effect of reducing the stimulants and likewise have to cope with the effect on her system of the constant ad:n inistration of the only means of prolonging her life and mak ing ultimate recovery at least a pos sibility. These stimulants and the com plaint from which she suffered in Cali fornia, which is now under better con trol, have so weakened her powers of resistance that apprehension Is ever present that a sinking spell may occur suddenly from which she cannot be ral lied. Dr. Rixey regularly makes three visits each day, one in the morning, when there is a consultation of physi cians; another in the afternoon, and a third in the evening. Friends, official and personal, of the presidential family continue to show their sympathy by personal inquiries at the door and by leaving their cards. Even the members of the cabinet, as a rule, merely leave their cards. In order to avoid disturbing the president- Mrs. Charles Emory Smith, Secretary Long, Lieutenant General and Mrs. Milea, Commander Cowles, of the navy. As sistant Secretary of War Sanger and Miss Hitchcock were among those who thus expressed their sympathy during Sunday. Mrs. McKinley will be taken to Can ton whenever she is in condition to bear the journey. Extensive improvements have been made at the McKinley home in Canton, including the building of a .porte cochere and the remodeling of portions of the house, and it was planned last autumn that she and the president would go to Canton about July 1 of this summer. In case Mrs. McKinley recovers this plan will be carried out, though it is not expected she would be strong enough to leave here the 1st of July, even if improve ment should continue steadily. Dr. Rixey said he was unprepared to pre dict whether she would be able to carry out these plans. It is believed that con siderable benefit would accrue from re moval to her old home, especially as it is cooler and more breezy there than here. There is no truth in the statement that the dispatch boat Dolphin is be ing sent here with a view to taking her out in that vessel later on. JOBES DENIES, Says Santa Fe Humors Were Stock Jobbing Scheme. Wichita, June 10. -A. C. Jobes, Santa Fe director, just returned from New Tork, says there is absolutely nothing in the story of the Union Pacific leasing the Santa Fe. He declares the story was a stock jobbing scheme. He says there has been no negotiations what ever looking to the absorption or leas ing of the Santa Fe by any other com pany. The election of Charles Stelle of J. P. Morgan Co., to be a director started some talk that Morgan had pur chased a controlling interest which Mr. Jobes says is false. Rumors that the Pennsylvania is purchasing Santa Fe was another stock jobbing scheme, without any truth although the rela tions between the two systems are friendly. I ALL PLEAD HOT GUILTY. Patrick and His Accomplices Sent Eack to the Tombs. New Tork, June ID. Albert T. Patrick pleaded, not grjilty of the murder of Wm. Marsh Rice, the Texas millionaire, when arraigned before Judgre Cowing in the court of general sessions today. With him were arraigned JOavid L. Short and Morris Meyer, charged with forgery in connection with the case. They plearlert not guilty also. All three were remanded back to the tombs. No application for bail was made. V The men were aVrained as a sequence to the decision rendered by Judge Koster last Friday overruLntr a demurrer entered by the attorneys f the defendants. UP THEY GO. Council Committee Decides to liaise Salaries. Mayor's Pay to Be Made 1,500 Instead of $900. INCREASE $50 A MONTH Treasurer and Councilmen Are Also Favored. Mr. Chaney Objects on Ground of Economy but in Vain. At the meeting of the ways and means committee, held Saturday after noon, the following schedule of salaries was agreed upon for the city officers: Mayor, raise from $fi00 to $1,500, or $50 per month Treasurer, raise from $600 to $1,200, or $50 per month, Councilmen, raise from $50 to $200. Assistant city engineer, increase $10 per month. Deputy city attorney, increase $10 per month. The committee was not unanimous on this schedule. Councilman !W. S. Cha ney was opposed to it, and Councilman Geo. Neil did not commit himself pos itively, i The argument was advanced by Chairman Miller, who favored raising Mayor Hughes' pay to $2,000, that the city of Wichita paid its mayor $2,,0O0 and its councilmen $2u0 each. Mr. Alil Jer was reminded by other members of the committee that the city of .Wichita receives about $20,000 revenue every year which under Mayor Hughes' ad ministration will not be available. In stating his position, Mr. Chaney said that he was heartily in favor of raising the pay of all the officers on the list, and more besides, but that he did not believe the city should go into debt any deeper simply for the purpose of giving some of its officials a soft snap. i i All of the members of the committee who have been radical supporters of Mr. Hughes in his campaign for the office of mayor, were heartily in favor of the raise in pay for their man and for his i appointees. And as Mayor Hughes has taken care to line up the committee his way, the programme of pay went through exactly as this fac tion wanted it to go. There will likely be a hard fight over the question when it comes before the whole council. There is very little dis position on the part of some of the members of the council to allow the city treasury to be opened to pay polit ical debts. Meanwhile city warrants are in default and are being paid by the banks, which will collect interest from the city when there is money in the treasury. I COMPLETE THIRD WARD Twenty-eight Less Votes in 3rd Precinct Than Board Found. The recount of the Third ward, where in was one of the disputed precincts in the Parker-Hughes contest, has been completed and resulted in a change of 28 votes. The recount found 28 less ballots than were counted by the can vassing board. This proves the contention of the at torneys for Albert Parker who claimed in the mandamus case that 28 more votes had been counted by the canvassing board, by the use of the tallies, than were cast in the Third ward. The re count resulted in a loss in the Third ward of 16 votes for Hughes and a loss of 12 votes for Parker. The recount of the first precinct of the Third ward re sulted in 202 unchallenged ballots for Hughes and 274 for Parker on the male vote and four challenged by the Parker attorneys that were marked for Hughes and one Parker ballot contested and seven marked twice. This gives Hughes on the recount 206, the same as found for him by the canvassing board and Parker 2S2, one more than the canvassing board found. The recount of the female vote in the first precinct of the Third ward resulted in 175 unchallenged ballots for Hughes and 127 for Parker with five Hughes ballots objected to and one Parker with eight double Parker ballots. This gives Hughes ISO on the recount, one less than the canvassing board found for him and Parker 136, three less than the canvassing board found for him. The recount of the male vote in the second precinct of the Third ward re sulted in Hughes receiving 221 unchal lenged ballots and Parker 191. One Hughes ballot was objected to. The can vass gave Hughes 222, the same as the recount found for him and the canvasser found 191 for Parker, the same as the recount. The female vote resulted in 270 unchallenged Hughes voetsand 74un- challenged Parker votes. 'Ihere were two Hushes votes objected to, one Park er and live double, making Hughes' total vote 272, the same as. found by the can vassing board and Parker's vote SO, the same as before. The greatest change so far was found in the third precinct of the Third ward, one of the two pre cincts over which the mandamus case was contested. The recount of the male vote gave Hughes 274 and Parker 152 uncontested ballots with three Hughes ballots objected to and five Parker with one double ballet. This gave Hughes 277 on the recount while the canvassing board found 293 for him. The recount gives Parker 158 while the canvassing board gave him 168. The female vote in the third precinct of the Third ward gave Hughes 345 ballots and Parker 52 uncontested and Hughes four contested, Parker one and three double, making a total of 34a tor Hughes, one more than the canvass and Parker 56, the same as the canvassing board found. The recount gives Hughes a total of 1.506 ballots in the Third ward and Park 903, while the canvassing board found 1,522 for Hughes and 915 for Parker. Hanged Himself in the Earn. Rochester, Minn., June 10. H. M. Engle, a wealthy farmer living near the city, committed suicide by hanging him self in his barn while his family were away on a Sunday school picnic. No cause is known for the act. Weather Indications. Chicago. June 10. Forecast for Kan sas: Partly cloudy tonight and Tuesday with possibly local thunder storms; cooler in west portion Tuesday; variable winda. GREEDY CHICAGO. She Persists in Taking Business Away From New York. New Tork, June 10. The Journal of Commerce says: The controversy over the place of open ing government bids for Indian supplies is again attracting attention. Some two years ago a similar agitation resulted in Chicago being designated as the place of opening bids for supplies of provisions, groceries, boots, shoes, etc., while bids for dry goods, clothing, notions, etc., were left to New York. The threatened transfer to Chicago of the bids that under present arrangements are opened here, was brought to the attention of the ex ecutive committee of the New Tork board of trade and transportation at its last meeting and the matter is now being considered by that committee. One of the most important points in the controversy and one on which much stress is laid by local merchants is ihe prestige attached to the business being retained here. A number of local wholesale dealers, being interviewed, strongly objected to any additional changes being made. BESANTDEAD, Noted Author Falls a Victim to the Grip. London, June 10. Sir Walter Besant, the novelist, died yesterday at his resi dence in Hampstead after a fortnight's illness from influenza. He was born in 1836. Besant was to have attended the At lantic Union "dinner tonight and pro pose the toast to "Knglish Speaking Communities." Walter Besant was born at Forts mouth, England, in 1838. He was in- L m ,v LI' t, A" '".VI if j J I I IS Ml V SIR WALTER BESANT. tended for the church but abandoned this career and was appointed senior professor in the Royal college of Mauri tius. eBing obliged by ill health to re sign this position he returned to Eng land and devoted himself to literature and acted for many years as secretary of the Palestine Exploration fund. In 1S71 he formed a literary partnership with James Rice which continued until the death of Rice in 1S82. They wrote in collaboration many novels, the first being "Ready-Money Morti boy" which they dramatized. Af ter the death of Air. Rice" Mr. Besant devoted himself to the study of social problems and his novels written during this period deal largely with these ques tions. But it is as a writer of historical novels that Mr. Besant is best known, hsi book "Dorothy Foster" being esteem ed by critics as one of the best historical novels ever written. Following is a list of some of his best known productions: "When George the Third Was King," "The French Humorists From the Twelfth to the Nineteenth Century," "The Revolt of Man," "All Sorts and Conditions of Men," "Readings in Rabelais," "All in a Garden Fair," "The Captain's Room," "Uncle Jack," "Kath erlne Regina." These are in addition to the works produced in collaboration with Mr. Rice. DEPEW TO WED. Senator's Marriage Announced to Take Place This Summer. Washington, June 10. It is understood in Washington that "Corcoran House," which has been the residence of Senator Depew for two years past, will have a new mistress at the opening of the social season next winter. Senator Depew, it is said, will marry during the summer a widow who is now abroad. His niece, Miss Paulding, who has presided over .his Washington home, is now the owner or the residence at Nineteenth and N streets which Mr. Depew presented to her at the time her engagement to Lieutenant Edio was announced last winter. The house has since been generally overhauled and improved. Justice Brewer, who was married a day or two aco, was a classmate of Mr. be. pew at Yale, and this fact adds interest to the report of the Senator's engage ment. SENTENCED Br 1IAZEN. Proprietors of "Senate" Are Not Let Off Easily. Judge Hazen this morning sentenced "Sheep" Lytle and Mike Wagner, who were convicted of selling liquor at the Senate the day it was "smashed" by Mrs. Nation. Wagner was convicted on one count and received a fine of $100 and 30 days in jail. Lytle was convicted on two counts and was given a fine of $200 and 90 days in jail. The case will be appeal ed. Lytle has been serving time in the county jail'on another conviction for a like offense. Not Fitzhugh Leo Who Was Killed. Manila, June 106:10 P. M. The offi cer named Lee who was killed, not wounded, in the recent battle with in surgents at Lipa, province of Batangas, was Lieut. Lee, of the engineers, not Lieut. Fitz Hugh Lee, as previously ca bled. Princeton Class Cay. Princeton, N. J., June 10. The annual class day exercises of Princeton uni versity were held at Alexander hall to day. President Patton presided. The class oration was delivered by Ralph P. Swofford and Ralph S. Thompson read the class poem. At the close De witt Hutchinson delivered the ivy ora tion on the steps of Nassau hall. Girl Found With Throat Cut. Atlanta, Ga., June 10. Miss Bessie Jackson, the adopted daughter of R. C, Flower, a dairyman at Poplar Springs, a suburb, was found murdered near her home today. She had been missing since last Thursday. A negro boy employed on Mr. Flower's place has been arrested on suspicion. Her throat was cut. WILHELMINA'S TRIP BERLIN It Was 31ade in the Interest of Peace in Africa. She Asked Emperor William to Help Her. ARBITRATION COURT Named by The Hague Confer ence Takes Action. YonBuelow Has Little Hope of Good Results. Berlin, June 10. The Kleins Journal today prints a dispatch from The Hague saying that Queen Wilhelmina's recent visit here was meant to obtain Emperor William's consent to end the South African war, both the z,weibund and the Driebund being willing to do so through The Hague arbitration court and that the emperor consented and tha court began work thereon. The dis patch has created a sensation here. The Associated Press has just obtain ed the following foreign office state ment which is authorized by Count von Buelow, the imperial chancellor: "Neither Great Britain, France, nor Russia, ever approached Germany to participate in any action aiming at end ing the South African war. Germany has all along distinguished between of fering her good offices and intervention. To render her good offices would be possible if both parties to the war re quested it, but it will be remembered that Great Britain only joined The Hague conference on condition that the Boer states were excluded. There is no doubt that Air. Kruger, who is a ser ious statesman, came to Europe to ob tain the good offices of several of the powers to end the war; but there is al so no doubt that Great Britain does not want their good offices. At least, it is true that since the South African war began Great Britain has never, either verbally or in griting, confiden tially or officially broached such an idea. It is quite possible that the Boor side has now formally asked The Hague arbitration court to lend its aid to end the war somehow and that the court has held a session regarding the mat ter; but that, of course, is entirely dif ferent from any serious steps to end the war." MRS. BOTHA'S MISSION. New York, June 10. A dispatch to the Tribune from London says: The war; office authorities say they have received no news of a meeting be tween Gen. Kitchener and Gen. Botha near Standerton last Wednesday, and the report of a tentative settlement be tween the British and Boer comman ders is consequently discredited in offi cial quarters. Mrs. Botha's arrival in London has, nevertheless, revived peace rumors to which publicity has been given on several occasions recently. It is impossible to say what exactly is go ing on, but the general opinion is that there must be some foundation for the rumors. Mrs. Botha's visit is still shrouded in secrecy, and although it is freely stated that she is on a peace mis not only the reflection of preparation after paying subscriptions on Union Pa cific bonds and Pennsylvania and Rock sion no definite information on this point is obtainable at present. On the whole, the opinion of the news papers this morning is that Mrs. Botha's visit to Mr. Kruger can at best exer cise but an indirect influence upon fu ture peace negotiations so long as tho Boers persist in holding out for better terms than were offered at Middleburg. There does not seem the slightest ground for the statement which appear ed in the Weekly Dispatch that Mrs. Botha was received on Saturday at the Colonial office, then by Lord Roberts at the war office, and afterward by Mr. Brodrick. Meanwhile, the war news continues inconclusive. Gen. Blood's operations in the eastern Transvaal have appar ently come to an end and cannot be called decisive. Botha is somewhere between Ermelo and Amsterdam, and there seems no immediate prospect of surrounding him. Some disappointment has been caused by Gen. Kitchener's denial of a circumstantial account which was circulated by a news agency last week of the surprise of Beyer's commando and the capture of his con voy and stores. OOM PAUL AT THE HAGUE. The Hague, June 10. Mr. Kruger and Dr. Leyds arrived here today. They drove from the railroad station at Hilversum Junction in a closed carriage and are staying at the residence of Mr. Wolmarans, one of the Boer peace en voys. RUMOR OF SURRENDER. Durban, June 10. It is persistently rumored here that a general surrender of the Boers will take place at an early date. Details of Bullock's column, which is operating in the eastern part of the Transvaal, show that during the past three weeks the British have made fre quent successful night attacks, while in pursuit of Commandant General Botha's forces. They have captured a number of Boers snd also large quantitie of stock. Quantities of foodstuffs have been des troyed. The efforts to discover the loca tion cf a Long Tom in possession of the Beers have been futile. BOTHA'S TROOPS HARASSED. Cape Town. June 10. Gen. Blood's op erations in the Eastern Transvaal have been eminently successful in keeping Gen. Botha's force in a comparatively small area. The bulk of Botha's com mand, with whom he is present, is still south of the Delagoa Bay railway. There are now only 600 Boers north of the line. Gen. Blood has denuded the country of supplies. DBLAREY HOLDS THE POWER New York, June 10. Rev. Dr. H. D. Van Broekhinzen.who has recently come to this country from Pretoria, today de clared that Mrs. Botha has no intention of arranging terms for the Boers during her visit in London. He says he saw her just before he came to this country, and that she is taking the trip for her health. The Dutch preacher says it would make no difference if Botha did surren der, as not a man of his army would follow him. His followers are made up of men who have been excepted from amnesty in all British proposals for peace. Botha, he says, has no authority to make terms for the Boers, and until people begin to hear Delarey talk of peace they may safely conclude that fighting will continue. Sixteen thousand men are now fighting the British and the number is increasing constantly. Rev. Van Broekhinzen says the Boers will fisht ten years, if necessary, and have war supplies in abundance. Am munition and arms are buried all over the Transvaal and the Orange Free State. These have been captured mostly from British sunolv trains. MRS. BOTHA TO MEET KRUGER. London, June 10. The Sun hears that Mrs. Botha starts Wednesday for The Hague, where Mr. Kruger has been summoned to attend a conference of the Boer agents in Europe and the United States to consider the report Mrs. Botha has brought from her husband, in which he advises Mr. Kruger, as the constitutional head of the Transvaal, to sue for peace and the best terms ob tainable. i ISEADJPP Modern Woodmen of America Assembling in St. Paul. Streets Are Filled With March ins: Uniformed Men. St. Paul, June 10. Delegates to the head camp of the Modern Woodmen of America, which opens its sessions herd tomorrow, are pouring in on every train. Marching uniformed men filled the streets early in the day, and Cam; Nbrthcott, where the uniformed Wood men are located, is rapidly filling up. Caucuses of 620 delegates, represent ing 31 states, to be held tonight, wiil practically settle in advance the elec tion of officers, except as to the board of auditors. There will be no opposi tion to the re-election of Head Consul Northcott, or Head Clerk Hawes. K. It. Smith, of Missouri, is certain to be head banker. The election of four or five directors can be predicted, with certainty. These are: A. R. Talbot, of Lincoln, Neb.; P. D. S-nith, of Mankato, Minn.; E. E. Murphy, of Leavenworth, Kas., and C. G. Saunders, of Council Bluffs, la. The fifth member is conceded to Illinois, and the contest is between Geo. W. Reiily, of Danville, and T. F. Hopkins, of Rock ford. L. W. Otto, of Crawfordsville, Ind., is also a candidate, and opposes the Illinois men. Of the board of audit ors A. H. Bort, of Wisconsin, is the only one of the assembly sure of elec tion, and there is a hot fight among a dozen delegates for the remaining places on the board. i GRIMES PAID FARE Slate Treasurer Had Trouble With Conductor, Howeyer. The following is from the Kansas City Journal: Frank Grimes, treasurer of the state of Kansas, arrived in Excelsior Springs Saturday night with a party of three. En route from Kansas City to Excelsior Mr. Grimes had a light difficulty with the conductor, but fortunately no blood was shed. Mr. Grimes did not buy a ticket, so when the conductor came through the train the Kansas politician offered to pay cash fare. The round trip from Kansas City is $1, but Mr. Grimes did not want a round trip. "I want to pay for this party of four," he said. "How much?" "The fare is 75 cents," .was the re ply. "How much is it to Excelsior Springs Junction?" When informed that the fare would be 70 cents to the Junction, Mr. Grimes hesitated, but paid the amount asked after a long argument. Soon after he had paid for transportation as far as the Junction Mr. Grimes learned that an additiona fare would be charged from the Junction to Excelsior. Then there was another row with the con ductor and after the officious individual who represented the Wabash railroad had passed through the car the Kansas statesman stepped across the aisle and told his troubles to a stranger who hap pened to be. Fred W. Fleming, of this citj', also a politician. "Stranger," said Mr. Grimes, "I think that I have been robbed by that con ductor. I am not in the habit of paying railroad fare, as I am the treasurer of the great state of Kansas. Here, look who I am." Then a large book filled with annual passes was produced and was carefully examined by the wily Fleming, who was enjoying the joke immensely. "I am sure that the conductor did not know who you are," said Fleming. "If he finds out what a great man you are he will surely apologize. I would repoit him." By this time the train had reached Excelsior Springs, but Mr. Grimes was still angry. Mr. Grimes reached Topeka at noon today. He says the conductor tried to beat him out of a dollar; that the story is all right except that it is turned around. He says he called the conduc tor back after that official had taken up a single fare for himself and insisted on paying for his children and their friend. Whereupon the conductor attempted to work a short change fame on him. He stood on his rights and the conductor pleaded with him not to report the in cident. CROPS DESTROYED. Four Hundred Farms Ruined by Ok lahoma Storm. Wichita, Kan., June 10. A correspon dent who arrived here from the scene of devastation in Kay county. Oklahoma, says that the etorm ruined the wheat crop of 400 farms west and northwest of Blackwell. These farms are all in one body of territory. The farmers who had purchased twine and harvesting ma chinery are asking the local dealers to take them back, and the dealers have referred the matter to the factories. The loss of crops will cause no distress, as the farmers are in good condition finan cially, owingi to a succession of good crops during the past five seasons. As Broker No. 2. Washington, June 10. Commissioner of Internal Revenue Yerkes has decided that a person is liable to special tax as broker No. 2 whose business it is to deal in puts and calls on stock or grain outside of an exchange, board of trade or similar "lace. RACK inCGUPJ. Trial of Mrs. Lulu Prince Ken nedy For Jlurder, Resumed. Prisoner Is Pale and Apparent ly Worn Out. FREE USE OF DRUGS Is Indicated by Her Appearanea of Drowsiness. State Undertakes to Profd a Conspiracy Existed. Kansas City, June 10. Lulu Prince Kennedy had recovered sufficiently from her break down of Saturday to wit in court this morning and her trial for the murder of Philip H. Kennedy waa resumed. The prisoner was pale and apparently entirely worn out. It was only with great effort that she kept liei eyes open, suffering apparently from extreme weakness, or the efl'w ts of datives given to produce sleep. Attor ney Nearing for the defense expressed the fear that she would not be able n continue the strain for any length oi time. The first witnesses produced today bv the state were examined in an effort to prove that a conspiracy to kid Keiine'ly was hatched and carried out by the wo man's father, two brothers and herself. Jack Caldwell testified to a conversa tion with Will Prince on the day follow ing his sister's marriage at the court house to Kennedy at which ceiemony Will Prince and his father were pres ent. Will had related the scene at tlej court house to witness and told of Ken nedy's saying when friends congratula ted him: "I will not be a live man three weekn from today." Prince had retorted. "Well you have prolonged your life by this marriage." Prince had also admitted to witness that the marriage had be. n forced upon Kennedy. Then later when Prince and his father had called :t Kennedy's office and tried to collect St') for Mrs. Kenndy's board. Will Prince related to the witness Kennedy had run out of the office and gone down stalis head first. He practically admitted that he and his father were armed at th time and that Kennedy was "under the shadow of a gun." Kennedy had been married but a month when he was killed. Saturday it was adduced Bert Prince had fore casted the murder. A newspaper reporter told of Mrs. Kennedy and her brother Will coming to his office after the marriage. Mrs. Kennedy wanted Kennedy "roasted in 'the paper" and Will had naid that marriage was forced to pievc-nt Ken nedy marrying another woman. E. J. Curtain testified to a conversa tion with C. W. Price after the mar riage. Prince had said: "I was not going to let this man Jl.i my daughter. If things don't go risht you will have a good deal more sensa tional thing to write about." Prince had mistaken Curtain for a re porter. Two witnesses testified to seeing Mr. Kennedy and Will Prince going in the direction of Kennedy's office on the a!4( ternoon of the murder. Elizabeth Jack man told of the two boarding a cur down town, and of Will Prince request ing his sister to do something. Witness did not catch Will's words, but heard her answer: "All right. I wi.ll." It is the theory of the state that Prince furnished tb prisoner the revolver with which fill killed Kennedy and accompanied her to near the scene of the kUlint?. riervinsr her to the point of committing thu crime. Mrs. Jackman testified that Will Prince called on her after the murder. He believed Miss Jackinan would be a witness in the case and asked her to testify that she did not see him with Mrs. Kennedy on the day in question. seven Imtmn hurt. In a Head-on Collision on the L.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10, 1901. n SPQilTDMIEVJS. The Lawson Incident Is Xow Fullj Closed. Owner of Independence Answers Gotham Yacht Club. HOT RACE FOR CUP. Declares Ills Boat Will Contest With Other Sloops. Eoston Sportsmen Tend to Crit- tciss Townsman For Action. Boston, Mass.. June 10. The contro versy between the New York club's com mittee and Thomas W. Lawson waa closed today by Mr. Lawson announcing that his yacht, the Independence, will not take part in the cup defense events. tut will be ouen to meet all comers. His answer to the cup committee follows: 'JBoston, Mass., June 8. Commodore Lewis Cass Ledyard, Chairman of Com mittee .Nes- York Yacht Ciui) year sir: "Your letter of yesterday. with incisures, received. I agree with you that further oiscussion can serve no userui purpose. Believe toe. vours very truly, "THOMAS W. LAWSON." To the riublie which has followed the touildine- of the Independence wit ft in terest Mr. Lawson makes the following announcement: "It now having: been settled that the Independence cannot take part In the tup defense. I will do all I can to ar range as many races as possible for her untii the season closes that she may ehow her friends what a modern Boston boat can do. "Her first encasement is the races at Newport against the Constitution anil Columbia. July 2. 4 and 6." BOSTON FEELS MUCH CHAGRINED Those who are directly interested in the Independence were feeling- very much down in the mouth today and were much chagrined at the attitude of the committee in freezing out the Boston iMjat. Commodore Eedyard s communi cation showed that the New Yorkers IV ill not discuss the situation further and lir. Lawson, for his side, formally gives notice of the withdrawal of the Inae rendence as a cud defender. Both gentlemen regard the Incident as closed. The independence wiu merely race with the other bigr sloop and make no try for the cup. There are a few Boston yachtsmen who are inclined to criticise Mr. Law son, and among the number is L. Cod man, secretary of the Dorchester Yacht club, who in an interview today said: "I think that Mr. Lawson is carrying his obj-dction too far and into too much detail to avoid giving1 in. He either ciusht to get out entirely of the affair or else conqeda the point he has got to concede. "Don't make any mistake. I am not in sympathy with the New Tork Yacht club's rules and I think they are against the beBt interests of yachtins. They are going a good way to destroy the value of the America's cup as an inter national yachting trophy and one of these days some good fellow will give another cup and the present one will be out of consideration. RACKS OUGHT TO BE OPEN. "I think that trial races for the selec tion of an international cup defender ought to be open to anyone who wants to enter, no matter what kind of a scow he may propose to sail. Then when the defender has been chosen it is time enough to have ome reputable yacht club conduct further arrangements. I think that Mr. Lawson has carried things far toward losing the support of yachtinff men all over the country. He might just as well make up his mind to the inevitable. The New York Yacht club has the cup tied up tight and ia clearly within its right in the condition it has Imposed. "It ia a pity, but none the less it's true. I would like to see Lawson go in nd lick them off the earth. The Inde pendence is a great boat too. I believe nhe could do it." A. C. Fernald, secretary of the Bos ton Yacht club, voiced similar senti itient.3. while Commodore L. M. Clark f the Hull (Mass.) Yacht club blamed Lawson for the fiasco in trying to make iUia New Yorkers knuckle to him. BEFORE AN EMPESOE. Pugilist Corbett Will Show Royalty How to Hit and Duck. New Tork, June 10. James J. Corbett has an engagement to demonstrate the manly art of self-defence before the strenuous Emperor of Germany. Cor bett will also show other royalties, in cluding the King of England, how to hit and get away. Corbett will be the first r.ian who has been a prize fighter to bo thus honored by crowned heads, al though King Edward, before he came to the throne, was not averse to seeing two good men maul each other, and shook hands with John L. Sullivan.who, being a good American, thought he was honoring? the prince. Corbett and his wife will nail for Eur ope on the Oceanic in a fortnight. His trip is for pleasure, but he will look over the ground with the purpose of touring, appearing in his monologue next season. He will be gone two months. Returning here in the fall, he has been engaged by the Empire Vau deville company at jl.Oytf a week to ap pear in his monologue and will tour the country. Returning to England next season Corbett will secure a good sparring partner in London and will go to Berlin end other European capitals and show the kings and kinglets how to rebuke a threatening anarchist with a solar plexus blow or a "smash" on the point of the jaw. The arrangements for him spar before Emperor William were made by a personal friend of the em peror whom Corbett knows, a man whom his Imperial highness has had as his guest at several hunts. In a word Corbett is out of the sa loon business. And opportunely, for Justice Freedman, In the supreme court revoked the liquor tax certificate of the Faloon on Broadway known as Cor bett's.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJItNAIi, MONDAY TTENmG. JUNE 10, 1C51.' 3 BIENNIAL MEETING General Synod Evangelical Lutheran Church, DES MOINES, IA., May 29 -June 10, 1001. For the above meeting the mou racmc has made the Very low rate of One Fare and One-Third on certificate plan, from Denver, Cheyenne, and points east thereof. THOSE BLUE LAWS. Copy Sent to City Attorney With Sug gestion For TJae. Colonel Mayor Hughes can now "go ahead with the compilation of his po lice regulations. The information which lie needs has arrived. It is strange, but true, that this in formation came to hand without solici tation on the part of Colonel Hughes. It is hard to understand why he over looked it. It is likely that in the ex citement of securing the police rules of Kansas City, St. Joseph, and other model towns, Mr. Hughes forgot this more venerable document which so opportunely is placed at his disposal. The document which is referred to is a verbatim copy of the Blue Laws of Kew Haven colony, which was re ceived airect from headquarters by City Attorney Spencer. Just why Mr. Spencer happened to come into posses sion of the New Haven Blue Laws at this time is not plain, unless he was hunting for some undiscovered or for gotten authority to stump the water company. To see the Blue Laws is to love them, and perhaps Major Hughes will incor porate large portions of them in his new police regulations. Here is a por tion of the Blue Laws, just as they were written by the Rev. Samuel Peters In lriSl, which the correspondent sug gested might be applied here: The judges shall determine contro versies without a jury. No one shall be a freeman, or give a Vote,' unless he be converted and a member in full communion of one of the churches allowed in this dominion. No man shall hold any office who is not sound in the faith and faithful to this dominion, and whoever gives a vote to such a person shall pay a tine of 1; for a second offense he shall be disfran chised.

No priest shall abide in the dominion; lie shall be banished, and suffer death on his return. Priests may be seized by anyone without a warrant. No one to cross a river but .with an authorized ferryman. No one shall run on the Sabbath day or walk in the garden or elsewhere, ex cept reverently to and from meeting. No one shall travel, cook victuals, make beds, sweep house, cut hair or Ehave on the Sabbath day. The Sabbath shall begin at sunset on Saturday. To pick an ear of corn growing in a neighbor's garden shall be deemed theft. A person accused of trespass in the night shall be judged guilty, unless he clear -himself by his oath. When it appears that an accused has confederates, and he refuses to discover them, he may be racked. No one shall buy or sell lands with out the permission of the selectmen. A drunkard shall have a master ap pointed by the selectmen, who are to debar him from the liberty of buying and selling. Whoever publishes a lie to the prej udice of his neighbor shall sit in the stocks or be whipped fifteen stripes. Every ratable person who refuses to pay his portion to the support of the minister of the town or parish shall b" fined by the court 2 and 4 every quarter till he or she pay the rate to the minister.

First 111 Miles of the Liberal Extension Opened Today. Local Train Ser?ice Established Along the Line. OFFICES AT DALHART Several Kansas Towns Are After the Division. Texas Commission Grants Au thority Tor Freight Kates. The first 111 miles of the Liberal ex tension of the Rock Island was opened to regular train service today. A local train was put on between Liberal, Kas., and Twist, Tex., and the general offices of the Chicago, Rock Island Mexico were opened at Dalhart, Tex. In projecting this new line the Rock Island bought the El Paso Northeast ern road, a line 118 miles long and run ning from HI Paso. Tex., to White Oaks N. M. From the northern end of the ex tension construction has gone on as noted above until a little more than 100 miles have been finished. At the same time the track on the south end be tween White Oaks and Santa Rosa is being laid, and it is predicted that by next March trains will be running clear through to Kl Paso. The greatest delay now is in the grading, which Is very heaw. The bridge work, as stated be fore, has taken much of the time of the construction men. One of the largest bridges of its kind in the country haa beeif under construction on the south Canadian river, and the high waters of this spring and summer have contrib uted their share in the delay which ha3 been caused. Twice the building ma chinery has been washed away by high waters, bathing greatly the efforts ot the company to rush the work. In view of the opening or tne line sev eral towns are after the new division which is to be established. The railroad people are not saying much, but the towns of Pratt, Hucklin and Liberal are each anxious for the division. A number of new stations have been opened along the route, and the coun try promises to no its share in mcreas ing the traffic of the Rock Island. Here are some of the names of new stations that have been established along the line: Sunset, Stratford, Reveille, Shade Buffalo No. 1. Buffalo No. 2, Optimo Sanford. Poca de Agua, Beer Top and Goodwell. Joseph Myers, general freight and passenger agent of the Chicago. Rock Island Mexico, and J. J. JMccaoe, general freight agent of the Chicago, Rock Island Mexico, have appeared before the Texas railroad commission, asking for authority to put in freight rates on the 50 miles of new road now completed within the state of Texas. The authority was granted, and that part of the road already finished is opened for business under auspicious circumstances. New Santa Fa Time Card. The new Santa Fe time card went in to effect Sunday. The principal changes are those which make the California limited a semi-weekly instead of a daily train. The westbound limited will hereafter leave Topeka at 3 a. m. Sun day and Wednesday. It will go east at 12:58 a. m. each Sunday and Thursday. The fast mail service is extended from Newton to Purcell, I. T., and the leav ing time of the westbound train is 3:55 a. m. This train will run as lis in stead of as the first section of No. 3, as heretofore. No. 1 will leave Topeka at 1:15 p. m. instead at 12:55 as form erly, ii Train Dispatchers Are Gathering. San Francisco, June 10. The annual convention of the Train Dispatchers' Association of America will meet in this city on Tuesday and several car loads of delegates from all parts of the country came west over the Santa Fe during the last day or two and have been sight-seeing In the southern part of the state. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. The building of 250 tank cars, which were ordered several months ago, has been begun. The construction work has been put off by a delay in the arrival of the material, and the first of the cars will not be completed much before July 1. It was intended that some of thein would be finished by June 1. Ulysses Or. Life, who has been day operator for the Orand Island at Hia watha for the last twelve years, has been made chief clerk in the office of the general superintendent at St. Jo seph. He will be succeeded by C. K. Finley, formerly of the Grand Island offices in Kansas City. The work on two more large center unloading plows has been begun. These plows are used in unloading dirt from Hat cars, and the way in which they are operated is simple. Shaped similar to an ordinary snow plow, they are pulled along a car, pushing the dirt away on either side. The power is furnished by a small stationary engine, and a train of twenty cars can be unloaded in half an hour. The new plows will go in service on the cutoff, where four are al ready in use. The brickwork of the new blacksmith shop was begun Saturday afternoon. The brick masons were delayed several days by the painters, who are going over the frame for the first time, but it is expected that the construction will proceed from now on without interrup tion. Conductor Tilford. who has been run ning on the Leavenworth branch for the last six months, has returned to Topeka and will go on the extra board. Switchman John Young is laying off for a time, treating his eyes. The Woodmen teams left Sunday morn ing over the Santa Fe for St. Paul. Minn.. where they will attend the head camp ot that organization. The engine Winers in the roundhouse have organized a base ball team under the management of Peter Butler. The line-up is as follows: Kiehar. pitcher; Conwell, catcher: W. H. Brooks, first base: Dyer, second base: Schwartz, third base: But ler, short stop: White, left field: W. H.

The half and half switch engine worked Sunday. L Hartlev. dav boiler washer, who was off duty Saturday, has reported for work again. Fireman John Allen is laying off. Kdwin Powell, who has charge of the winers. was off Sunday afternoon. Engine OK. which has been running between Osa ire City and Alma, has been brought to Topeka- The 0VI is doing its regular work. Fireman J. Orusenmeyer. who has been laving off. is reaiiv for work again. Engineer Link Gailetlr has moved his familv to Kdgerton. Galletly is on one of the work trains on the cut-off and in order to save trips to Topeka he decided to move Ills family near where he Is at work. Lou Cummins, formerly connected with the Rock Island at Philliosburg. died re cently at his home in Fairbury, Xeb. Oscar Morgan of the hand car shop was off duty Saturday. He was almost sick at quitting time Friday, and as he did not show up Saturday, It is supposed that he grew no better. The committee on arrangement for the annual shop picnic, to be held June 22, wiilmeet this evening at the Railroad X. It is rumored that the Chicago Great Yv estern is soon to cease Its existence as an independent line. It is believed that the part from Marshalltown, la., to Kan sas City is to give the Chicago North western entrance into Kansas Citv. James Miller, who quit the coach shop last. week, will go to Cripple Creek, Col., to look after mining Interests. Archie Baughman of the brass foundry is a member of one of the Woodmen teams which left Sunday morning for St. Paul. Fred Austin and Mark Migliarlo of the boiler shop are new recruits for the tank gang. The tank men went to Argentine this morning to complete the tank which has been under construction there for some time. Chris Neska, a brass moulder, who has been off since Friday, returned to work this morning. Doc" Bin of the freight car sheds recently lost a valuable calf. Birt told his sons to spray some potato vines with London purple in order that the bugs might be gotten rid of. Somehow while the boys were at work the calf, which was running loose near by, came up and drank part of the poisonous preparation. Before JBirt could reach home the calf was dead. Frank Williams the nitebef fo? thn boiler shop nine, has returned to work, after a short vacation. S. A. McCoy has been appointed resi dent engineer for the Santa Fe at Ot tawa. John Alexander, a helper in the black smith shop, is laying off on account of a sore hand. Frank Brooks, formerlv a clerk in the general offices, has decided that outdoor work suits him better and has entered the locomotive department as a wiper. FOUR GRAND PRIZES. Oklahoma Lottery Affords Rich Chances to Ticket Holders. Fort Sill.. Ok., June 10. Four grand prizes, worth not less than $40,000 each, will be among the gifts which the United States will distribute by lottery at the drawing scheduled to occur in Oklahoma not later than August 6. -These prizes are the quarter sections adjoining on the south the county seat, which has been lo cated five miles south from Fort Sill. There will be other great prizes, to be sure, completing the largest government lottery in history. The great prizes will be the homesteads adjoining the townsite of the metropolis of the new country. Under the law opening the reservation to settlement, the town lots will be sold at auction and the proceeds will go to building bridges, improving roads and building a $10,0o0 court house. For the townsite only 320 acres can be reserved under the provisions of the law. This is an area one-half mile wide north and south, and one mile long east and west. Congressman Flynn is confident that the town yet unnamed will be incorporated with more than 10.000 population, and ev ery one else familiar with conditions agree with him. A city of 10. OM) popula tion can not be confined to one-half of a section of land and the homesteads ad joining it will be platted and chosen as additions as soon as they are drawn up. It is the possibility of drawing these for tunes in a government lottery that has so excited tiie Oklahoma wise ones. Anadarko, the county seat of the north ern county, will retain its name. The site chosen is the present one and the C, R. I. P. depot is practically in the center of the town. There will be several home steads worth thousands of dollars near Anadarko. as well as near the unnamed town where a site lias just been chosen. The value of the Anadarko homesteads will probably not be so great as those near Fort Sill. It is estimated that there are 2,5u0 homesteads near Fort Sill and Anadarko which will be worth an average of S2.5U0 each the day the territory is thrown open to settlement. If the plan which has been suggested by Judge Vandeventer is followed and the people are permitted to select their home steads according to the numbers. the great government lottery will have about J 3 m homesteads to distribute worth from $1 to $5.0 each. This, after four grand capital prizes of 1G0 acres of land adjoining the county seats, each worth $4,fi"0 and ten grand prizes of lrt) acres of land near the adjoining county seats, each w-orth $25,000, and 100 grand prizes of 100 acres of land near county seats worth from $5, (Km) to $lo.ooO each, had been given to the luckier ones. MAJ. ROCKEFELLER'S FATE. Went Dlad While Held in Captivity by Filipinos and Died. Syracuse. N". Y., June 10. A letter from Paul J. S:iilane of the Ninth infantry, stationed in the Philippines, has been re ceived by a friend in Watertown. It states that 'while Spillane was a prisoner of the Filipinos at Tariac he learned from insurg-ent officers the fate of Maj. Rocke feller, whose mysterious d wiippearaiu'e early in the war has puzzled the Ameri can army. Maj. Rockefeller, according to the Filipinos, was taken prisoner and went mad while in captivity. Soon after ward he died. Spillane says that the story of the major's suicide after learning that he had killed his own son in battle is un true. Evelyn B. Baldwin Promises 1 1 i'WfiS- y i a f i (vim tr I I i rV'c-. '4'- f nwlc ,c::Z,;r:?j;.r.l T. f-' yjj A FLM TRIP. Baldwin, the Arctic Explorer, Up in Balloon. Thrilling Jonrney From Qnlney to St. Louis. AT HOME SUNDAY. Tlsits Labetto County, Kansas, to Say Good Bye. Something About His Wonder ful Equipment and Plans. Arctic Explorer Evelyn B. Baldwin ar rived in St. Louis Friday in time to keep a banquet appointment, but it required a balloon ascension and. a twenty-four hours' ride in the air to do it. The aerial flight was made in company with his cousin, Samuel W. Baldwin, of Quincy, builder of the ship, which he calls the Mars, and which he ia able to steer to some extent in the air. Mr. Baldwin and his companion ex pected to alight at Hull's station, twenty-four miles from Quincy, where they could catch a train for Hannibal to make connections with a passenger train for St. Louip. They missed Hull's station by two miles, but a farmer was induced to drive them to town in time. Mr. Baldwin carried his valise with him in the balloon, and on arriving in St. Louis had ample time to make his toilet for the full-dress affair at the St. Louis club, to which he had been invited. In commenting on the balloon trip Mr. Baldwin said that it was the most ex hilarating experience in his life, and that it brought strongly to his mind the polar expedition of Andree and his two companions who went northward two years ago, never to be heard of again. Although well pleased with the twenty four hours' journey, he does not fancy a balloon venture to the pole, and will stick to the old way. Mr. Baldwin was at his old home in Labette county, Kansas, Saturday and Sunday to bid good bye to his father and friends. The departure was orig inally planned for June S from New York. Mr. Baldwin will start north soon with probably the best equipped outfit that Arctic explorer ever had, and he and his friends are confident he will not only succeed in rinding the pole, but will also find Andree. This will be a great year in the his tory of Arctic explorations. The United States, Great Britain, Ger many, Austria, Russia, Sweden, Nor way and Italy will lock horns over the problem of the pole, and far up in the silent and desolate regions of the north, over ice pack and tundra, with no human spectators to witness, will take place the most remarkable contest ever held un land or sea in the whole history of the world. Naturally the sympathy of the United States will be with the American ex plorers who go forth in the race to up hold the honor of their country and their flag. Naturally every good Ameri can will hope that our own star-spangled banner will be the first to wave, where no flaz has ever waved before, at the very apex of the earth. It is due to the enterprise and patriot ism of Mr. William Ziegler of New Xork that the most perfectly equipped of all these exneditions will represent the United States in this great international race for Polar honors, says Collier's Weekly of June Sth. Evelyn Briggs Baldwin, the organizer and commander of the expedition, is a man of medium stature whose face, kind ly and clean-cut, expresses energy and courage in a marked degree. He was the meteorologist of the Peary expedi tion of 189a-isy4, and, but for the fact that there was no room for him, would have shared the fate of Andree in the latter's tragic balloon voyage from Spitzbergen in 1897. After making ex tensive observations of auroral dis plays, and Arctic meteorological studies, Mr. Baldwin joined the Wellman expedi tiontion of 1S98-1S99. On the present expedition Mr. Bald win will have a party numbering about forty, including many well-known scien tists. Two vessels will be used. The America, the flagship of the expedition, was formerly known as the Esquimaux, the crack w haler of the Dundee fleet. Commander Baldwin's plans, as re cently announced, are as follows: The personnel of the expedition will leave New York for Dundee, Scotland, where they will board the America and proceed to Sandefjord and Tromsoe, in Norway. At Tromsoe she will be joined by the Frithjof. The Frithjof will carry a party of skilled hunters into the ice fields Sor OUR FLAG TO FLOAT AT THE to Hoist the Stars and Stripes the purpose of procuring a cargo of bear, seal and. walrus meat which will be landed at various designated points in Franz Josef Land. These deposits will be picked up later by the America. Meanwhile the America will proceed from Tromsoe to the White Sea to take cm four hundred Siberian dogs and twenty Siberian ponies which are now being brought overland to the north coast of Russia. This accomplished, she will rejoin the Frithjof at Franz Josef Land, and both .vessels will then steam northward as far as the conditions of the ice will permit, when the Frithjof will return to Norway. The America will remain in Franz Josef Land as a movable base of supplies. Aided by his immense transport train, Mr. Baldwin expects to be able to advance his entire equipment to the most northerly point of land in the Franz Josef archipelago before the long Arctic night closes in. Here houses will be erected and the party made snug and comfortable for the long period of inactivity which must ensue. In the spring of 1902, with the corning of dawn, Mr. Baldwin, with his chosen companions, will set upon his perilous journey over the ice-pack Pole ward. Of former Polar expeditions it may be said that many were hampered by meagre equipment. This was notably true of those headed by De Long and Greely. But the Baldwin expedition will carry everything that money can buy or experience suggest to aid in the ac complishment of its purpose. Large quantities of ruberoid, for instance, will form part of the America's cargo. Ruberoid is a building material only one-fourth as bulky as the lightest wood material known. Thus, Mr. Baldwin's party will have permanent and solid wind shelters instead of the usual in sufficient canvas shields. These will greatly enhance their comfort and aid them to endure the severe strain of long sledge journeys. Sufficient food for over three years will be taken, although it is expected the expedition will return with in twenty-seven months. Pemmican, made of desiccated lean beef. suet, cur rants and sugar, ferms the staple Arctic diet. Only the choicest parts of the beef are used in its manufacture, and over twenty carloads of this beef were required for the expedition's pem mican alone. Seventy-two thousand eggs, evaporated and "crystallized" and packed in fifteen hundred tins, is only one item in the list of provisions. Nor will the explorers want for luxuries. Coffee, tea, milk and canned delicacies of all kinds have been provided in al most fabulous quantities. The route selected by Mr. Baldwin has never been traversed. MAJOR DALY A SUICIDE. The Man Who Started the Em balmed Beef Investigation. Pittsburg, Pa., June 10. Major W. H. Daly, surgeon general on the staff of Lieutenant General Miles In Porto Rico, committed suicide at his home by shooting himself in the right temple. The body of the doctor was found in the bath room by Miss Mary Short, the housekeeper, lying in a pool of blood with a 38-caliber revolver lying on the floor. Dr. Foster, who was summoned, at once found the bullet hole in the tem ple and announced that death had ta ken place several hours before. Miss Short then remembered hearing a sharp report at abouf 7:20 a. m., but thought It was the quick closing of a window. No cause is known for Dr. Daly's deed, unless It be that insomnia drove him to temporary insanity. For some time he has been unable to sleep regularly. The doctor was a widower and leaves no immediate family. He was 59 years Old and for many years has been promi nent in medical circles. He gained in ternational prominence during the Cu ban war as it was his report to the commanding general of the army that started the "embalmed beef" investiga tion. CABINET MEN TO STKfkE. Woodworkers Have Given Employers Until July 1 to Come to Terms. Chicago, June 10. Members of the Amalgamated Woodworkers' union who are employed in saloon, store and office fixture manufactures, at a meeting de cided to go on strike July 1, if their demand for a minimum scale of wages of 25 cents an hour and a nine-hour day shall not be granted. The manufac turers submitted a proposition to the union making the wages for cabinet makers and machine hands $2, and for finishers $1.80 for nine hours. 'The men claim this is a reduction of 10 per cent on last year's scale, and, if necessary, they will strike to force the manufac turers to come to terms. About 2,000 men are affected. POLE. There Ahead of AH Others. n n uUcJLrui Gome Facts Regarding the Rapid Increase of Heart Trouble. Heart trouble.at least among the Amer icans is certainly increasing-, and while this may be largely due to the excite ment and worry of American business life it is more often the result of weak stom achs, of poor digestion. Real organic disease is incurable; but not one case in a hundred of heart trou ble i3 organic. The close relation between heart trouble and poor digestion is because both organs are controlled by the same groat nerves, the Sympathetic and Pneumogastric. In another way also the heart is af fected by the form of poor digestion, which causes gas and fermentation from half digested food. There is a feeling of oppression and heaviness in the chest caused by pressure of the distended stom ach on the heart and lungs, interfering If TIIREEKILLED. Oklahoma Experiences a Most Disastrous Storm. Nothing Left of Eddy hut De pot and Elevator. Perry, O. T. June 10. The storm which passed over eastern Oklahoma Saturday night was one of the most se vere since the opening of the strip. A feature of the storm was the extent of territory covered. Sweeping down from the Kansas state line and covering about 50 miles In width the rain and wind and hail swept over the country as far south as Old Oklahoma. The rain fell in torrents from early evening un til midnight. The fury of the storm centered in a tornado at about 6:30 p. m., which formed at a point near the Kansas state line and just on the line between Kay and Grant counties in Ok lahoma. The twister took a southeast erly course and was most disastrous on a belt of ten miles square in eastern Kay county. The little town of Eddy was struck and out of the 12 or 15 build ings in the place all were entirely lev eled to the ground except the depot and elevator. Flying lumber was scattered for miles and the loss of property is ocmplete. The people of the town sought places of safety early. Three persons were killed and several injured by the flying debris. THE DEAD. MRS. MATJDK M'GATHEY. LOUIS M'GATHEY. BOB M'GIFFIX. THE INJURED. Charles Goldsmith, skull fractured. John McBrain, leg broken. Hugh Frather, nose broken. Jud McWiliiams, head crushed. Howard Hamagan, head badly crush ed. Ruby Higinbothen, face crushed and internal injuries. A. I. Evans, leg broken. The track of the tornado between thi point and Tonka wa, a distance of about eight miles, was iaid waste. Five farm houses, including barns and outbuild ings, were blown away, but the occu pants all escaped without injury. The fine fields of wheat which are in the midst of harvest, were laid waste. The j tail end of the cyclone fell with terrible force upon Tonkawa. Thirty dwellings and business houses were scattered like i so much loose lumber. The citizens ol the town had been watching the ad vance of the storm and had sought shelter in caves and cellars. No fatali ties are reported at this point and only a few persons received scratches, which is nothing short of miraculous consid- j ering xrie utvasLttlluu. rtrw inura awn this point the storm seemed to lift and the country below did not suffer much from the storm except by washouts and a stiff wind with hail in spots which did some damage to fruit and the wheat crop. At Blackwell, a few miles north of Tonkawa, P. P. Crawford, a carpenter who was working on a house, was struck by lightning during the ston.i and instantly killed. INSURANCE PEOPLE HARD HIT. Wichita, Kan., June 10. The office of the Tornado Insurance company, one out of the 4" doing business in Oklaho ma, received 11 telegrams Saturday night announcing total losses. They claim that their losses will not fall far short of 75 houses in Kay county and that the total losses of the 43 companies will be something enormous. Van Ars dale Bros., hail insurance agents doing business here, are receiving claims for total losses. The smallest claim they f V r :-7 f with their action: hoenco arises palpitation and Fhort brffith. Poor digestion also poisons the blood, making it thin amfc watery, which irri tates and weakens the heart.

A Chicago woman applied for a di vorce on the ground that her husband had a wooden leg. Perhaps the idea of pulling the other one never suggested itself. There is no occasion for alarm on the score of the third term feeler which has been thrown out. If the people want Mr. McKlnley to serve another term they will elect him. If they don't, they wont. Chicago News: Doubtless the su preme court has settled the matter per manently, but it Is as well to remember that even the supreme court has the prerogative of changing its mind. Fol lowing a change in the personnel of the court, it once decided that congress could make paper money a legal tender for debts in spite of a contrary opinion delivered some time before. There was a somewhat similar reversal of judg ment as to the income tax. If only one member of the present court were to be replaced now by a justice who coincides with Chief Justice Fuller and Justice Harlan as to he limitations of the con stitution another insular tariff case brought into litigation might thus cre ate an interesting If somewhat compli cated situation. The contingency is re mote, but sufficiently clear to give the organizers of colonial governments food for rumination. It is becoming more apparent all the time that there is to be no such thing as Democratic harmony if Colonel Bryan can help it. unless he be per mitted to continue to be the whole thing. 'Will he never learn that tho people of the United States will not elect to the presidency a man of posi tive convictions on public questions, if those convictions are known Such a man is regarded as unsafe by voters and Interests sufficient to defeat him. The man who is willing to shape his policies in accord with events as they arise is the man who is desired for the presidency. Mr. McKlnley is that kind of a man. After having declared that it was "our plain duty" to give free trade to Porto Rico, he affixed his sig nature to a bill imposing a tarifT 011 Porto Rican conmerce. He yielded his personal convictions to what his ad visers thought was for the best in terests of Potto Ilico and the United States, and the people re-elected him. Colonel Bryan would not have done that; neither would James G. Blaine. GLOBS SIGHTS tFrom the Atchison Globe. 1 Some men. when they play seven up, claim low every time. The manner in which some girls "do" their hair, is a work of real art. Flies know their business. Ever no tice how they gather around a restau rant? What has become of the old fashioned man who was known as a black Re publican? Many a man will row a long way uo stream simply for the privilege of float ing back. An Atchison literary club does not permit any gossip even about charac ters in history. "When two male Dunkards meet, they kiss. Think of two men men with long whiskers kissing! Ugh! The woman who demands equal rights with the men, has a chance to begin right now in the wheat field. An Atchison girl is engaged to a man so old that her friends explain it by Eaying that she is collecting heirlooms. When a woman has Invented a name for her child that none of the neigh bors can pronounce, she feels that she fcas scored again. A man should never withdraw the sentinel he has on guard: sometimes when his wife is pleasantest, she is Fol lowing a Clue. Every woman talks of her physician understanding her constitution, as if the Lord had used an entirely new pat tern in cutting her out. Usually when people commit suicide there is no apparent reason. A late victim of suicide had good reason, and the case excites all the more pity. QUAKES. REFLECTIONS. TFrom the Philadelphia Record Fiowers were on deck- yesterday. The weather man forgot himself.

He always faces the music "A man is always losing something," said the caustic spinster. "If it isn't his collar button it's his reputation."

The greed of mankind oft is shown In ways that we deplore: The man with troubles of his own Goes out to borrow more. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News Pretty girls frequently pause for re flection in front of store windows. t No man likes to have a lawsuit, but if he has one he dislikes to lose it. Wrhen a man diets he lives on nothing: when he dies he has nothing to live on. You can rely on a man's keeping his word when it is to his advantage to do BOX An old bachelor says most fashionable young ladies are engaging works of art. It takes an expert stone cutter to make an Impression on the heart of a coquette. It is'sometimes as difficult to prove an alibi as it is to induce an acquaintance to indorse your note.

A woman wants her say, but a man wants his way. A man can be friendly with all the world if he only keepson speaking terms with hi3 liver. The average man doesn't need a soul to make a woman love him; all he needs la a ewailed-head. The girl that knows her business will never talk much baby-talk to a man till after the wedding.

Topeka dog catchers have been stirred up. and it is now necessary for them to use their pistol before they make a re port. Anthony has started the preliminaries for a harvest home celebration July 4. Timely weather and seven brass bands will do the rest. A little cloudless whirlwind started up the other day at Goffs which proved fierce enough to wipe a barn out of ex istence before retiring. Politicians with poor memories can expect occasional downfalls. Farmer Smith had forgotten that Cyrus Leland is a pretty good Injun. A Leavenworth woman, weary of be ing abused, has applied for a divorce. All the family jars in that household were evidently not in the pantry. The heirs of ex-Senator Fred Stocks have received a draft for $6,066 life in surance. The policy was taken out 16 years before, and cost $411.72 in pre miums. The first new potatoes Editor Healey of the Gaylord Herald indulged in were brought to his sanctum by a winsome young lady who planted, cultivated and dug them. Lightning killed three cows at one swoop in Stafford county the other evening. The owner, who was milking at the time, was naturally shocked by such performance. A Smith county man lost a pocket book one year ago containing $15. The other day while plowing he upturned the purse and coin, which only illus trates that you can't keep a good thing down in Kansas. WILL CHECK ACCOUNTS. Ways and Means Committea to Ex amine Accounts of Officers. It is likely that in the future the ways and means committee of the council will check up the accounts of all city officers who handle money. This check ing up will be done once a quarter. Heretofore a very loose system of transacting the city's business has pre vailed. So far as known, the city has not lost anything from it recently, but in order to prevent trouble in the future the checking system will be adopted. City Treasurer Hale says that he never has had any one check over his accounts, and will be glad to have some one assume the position of official ex aminer. The city food inspector, city weigh master. city license collector, and all others who take In money for the city, will be required to permit the examina tion of their books and accounts.

WOULD HURT THE COUNTRY Congressman Taylor's Position on Tariff Discussion. Washington, June 10. The industrial commission at its session Saturday con sidered the tariff question with inci dental reference to trusts, the witnesses being Congressmen Robert W. Tayler of Ohio and George Gunton. president of the New Tork Institute of Social Economics. Mr. Tayler took the posi tion that any discussion in congress of the tariff at this time would have a dam aging effect upon the country. He said the Dingley law was the most equitable tariff law the United States had ever had. He took a decided position against trusts, and said that they are not fos tered by the protective tariff. Mr. lay- ler also said that he believed in the principle of reciprocity, but that he did not indorse any of the recently negoti ated reciprocity treaties. Mr. Guntun devoted himself especially to replying to an argument recently made before the commission by Edward Atkinson for freer trade. Dr. Gunton saidthat the freedom con tended for by opponents of the tariff is analogous to the freedom of the savage. freedom which. If indulged in too free ly, not only brings injury to others, but ruin to himself. Mr. Tayler announced the general principle that the history of the coun try for the past few years and the con ditions demand that there should not be the slightest relaxing of the tariff principle as now embodied in the Ding ley law. The relation of the tariff to trusts, he said, is only incidental. The Dingley law, embodies, he said, the idea that the American civilization is on a higher plane than any other and requires a higher reward for its labor to maintain that excellence. Whenever the labor cost is greater than elsewhere, it is nec essary that there should be an equaliz ing influence such as the Dingley law. Primarily, thereore, the protective tariff aw was in the interest of labor. Lven the farmer, he said,, gets a reciprocal benefit. How is the farmer benefited by the tariff on steel?" asked Colonel Living ston. "In the first place," replied the wit ness, "there is not much tariff on steel or iron, except possibly on tin plate. We pay out in wages not less than $20,000,- 000. That means that the consuming power of the American people at home is increased to that extent, and I think that the effect of that increased con sumption is sufficient to recoup the far mer for any supposed increase of the cost to him of iron and steel articles whic h he .may purchase." Mr. layler announced himself as op posed to the principle involved in trusts because, he said, he considers human nature too weak to entrust in a few peo ple such a power as is involved in trusts. He thought abuses were certain, and that the result would be what he called governmental socialism or governmental ownership of the articles controlled by the trusts. 'Do you know of any combine that actually controls any industry?" Mr. CiarKe askea. Mr. Tayler said that he did not. "Is not the United States steel cor poration on the border of attaining ab solute control?" asked Colonel Living ston. "I can not answer that question either yes or no," replied the witness, "but there are many large iron and steel con cerns not in the combine. Iron ores are widely distributed and I do not be lieve that anyone will ever get absolute control of the supply." WILL UO THE SHOOTING. Republican Flambeau Club "Will Il luminate Shriners' Parade.

Swanson, a Stono Cut ter, Drowns Himself. John Herman Swanscn.a Swedish stone cutter, aged 63 years, committed suicide Saturday night by jumping into the Kaw river, supposedly from the Rock Island bridge, or near it. His body was found Sunday afternoon at 2:30 at the mouth of Soldier creek and was taken to M. Sto ker's undertaking rooms at Fifth and Jackson streets, where an inquest was held this morning. It was developed at the inquest that Swanson. who was living at the home o Erick Norlin, at 212 Buchanan street, got up at about midnight Saturday night and wandered off. The familv did not pay much attention to his leaving the house, until it was discovered that he did not return. They then reported the disap pearance at the police station. The police advised making a hunt and suggested the idea, of Suicide. The river banks were explored and the body found at the mouth of Soldier creek, where the body was lodged after floating probably a mile. No motive is known for the suicide. Swanson left no note and it is not known that he ever intimated such an action to any one at any time. He was a stonecutter by trade and was 63 years old. He has been at the. poor farm, and it was believed for a while that he had gone back to the poor farm when he left Norlin's. He had no fam ily. He belonged to the stonecutters' union and the local association has taken charge of the funeral details. MAKE LOW SCORES. American Shooters' First Practice in London a Disappointment. London, June 10. The American trap shooters had some practice today as a preliminary to tomorrow's con test but they found the conditions eo different from those they have been ac customed to that the shooting of the team as a whole was much below its American average. All the shooting here is down hill. The targets are thrown far and fast and at a much higher elevation than is the limit in America. The rise also is IS yards as against 16 in the United States. The scores at the first practice were very disappointing. Chauncey Powers of De catur, 111., broke 20 straight in the first event and then dropped more than half in the next 20. Fred Gilbert of Spirit Lake, la., was the only other man to break 20 straight. E. H. Tripp of In dianapolis, took 19. Some of the "old reliables" fell down quite seriously, but while they scored low, the Englishmen scored lower. The Americans are confident of winning. BIG PANCAKE CASE.

Lee, who is a familiar char acter to Topekans, is back in Topeka again and in trouble. Last night after midnight, in a drunken stupor, he crawled to the hayloft of a barn in North Topeka and fell back to the ground floor through the opening, breaking his left thieh bone. He was taken to the police station this morning and afterward transferred to Riverside hospital in North Topeka. Sev eral weeks will elapse before he will re cover sufficiently to be around. Judge Bee was formerlv police judge at Manhattan and has a brilliant mind, but he is a victim of the liquor habit.

A dispatch from Marion, Indiana, an nounces that David Nation, husband of Mrs. Carrie Nation, the hatchet crusad er, will not again live with his wife. It says he will spend the remainder of his life quietly with his daughter's family. At Marlon he celebrated his 7Sd birth day today. i The dispatch says: "Mr. Nation has never really approved of his wife's saloon smashing career. He gave a modified assent for a time, but finally said: 'I can't keep pace with Carrie in this crusade of hers, I am tired out. It is too hard work, and there is too little in it. I used to think she would get into trouble if I did not follow her around, but I find she is able to take care of herself, and I am going home. At times I think she is daft about this saloon smashing business.' "All the relatives of David Nation, ex cept his wife, Carrie, are celebrating his 73rd birthday at the home of his daugh ter, Mrs. Wm. Riddle, at Iberia, O., to day. Letters received by the relatives indicate that he is much embittered by his wife's course, and he says he will never return to her or to Kansas." Wrhen asked about the report Mrs. Nation said that she did not know but there was some truth in it. "He has not said so to me though," she said. "When he left Topeka he told me that if I would quit my crusading work and go back to Medicine Lodge he would be satisfied, but I told him distinctly that 1 would not." "What did he say then?" was asked. "He didn't say anything; just picked up his valise and went away." That was several months ago. "Have you been in correspondence with him since?" She started to reply but changed her mind, and said, "I won't tell you any thing more about It." M'KIHLEY CAN'T GO. Can't Leave His Wife to Tisit Buffalo Exposition This Week.

Naval Department to Investigate Magazine Wreck. New York, June 10. WTiile navy smokeless powder has demonstrated its keeping qualities in every test known to science, naval ordnance experts are awaiting with keen interest the result of the investigation at Mare Island, w here a magazine was' wrecked by an explosion several days ago, says a Washington special to the Herald. While ordnance experts Insist that navy smokeless powder is safe, they have not lost sight of the fact that ex plosions have occurred at the Indian Head proving grounds. Mare Island, the Dupont powder works, and the works of Laflin Rand. In none of these explosions has the cause been es tablished. Navy smokeless powder is made un der the formulae of the bureau of ord nance. The guncotton from which the powder is developed is subjected to the standard heat test of 150 degrees Fah renheit for 30 minutes. A dessicated sample of the finished powder is sub jected to a heat test of 212 degrees Fahrenheit for 10 minutes. In many cases it stands this temperature for an hour. The igniting test of smokeless powder must not fall below 341 degrees Fahrenheit. i If the sample shows no sign of de composition as a result of these tests, and the inspection made during manu facture is satisfactory, the lot it repre sents is accepted. When stored in mag azines several boxes have their lids loosely in place, and it is the duty of the inspector who visits the magazines daily to examine the powder to ascer tain if decomposition has set in. When smokeless powder decomposes it throws off nitrous vapors, and if confined the pressure causes decomposition to in crease. The odor and appearance change so that detection is easy. Rear Admiral O'Neil states that the force of the explosion frequently de stroys the cause, and in the Indian Head proving ground case it was im possible to establish a. reason for the explosion.

Herrick, president of Washburn college, will resign his posi tion at the meeting of the Washburn trustees on Tuesday, and will retire from all connection with Washburn college soon after the end of the school year. No successor to Mr. Herrick has yet been chosen, though several names are under consideration. The trustees of the college have for some time anticipated Mr. Herrick's resignation. Mr. Herrick states that his decision to leave the college ia not due to any discord with the trustees. H says that owing to the fact that he was required to take charge of the soliciting of finan cial aid for the college that his work was not satisfactory to him, and he felt obliged to consider other more agree able opportunities for occupation. President Herrick came to Washburn in 1S96. His, connection with the actual college work during the past three years has been very slight. He has spent most of his time in the east trying to in terest philanthropic individuals in the work of the college. In this work he has had considerable success, but what he has done has not been entirely satisfac tory to the majority of the board of trus tees. Mr. Herrick attributes In part his fall ure to secure financial aid to the part which some of the members of th Washburn faculty and students took in the Mrs. Nation joint raids. He says: "I have not been so successful in secur ing money in this state as I would like. The people of Topeka and over Kansas are not supporting Washburn as they should, especially in raising the J10.00G required to secure the Jewell bequest. Washburn college suffered in the estima tion of the people of Topeka when the students and several professors were said to have gone on a 'smashing' tour with Mrs. Nation last winter. While this affair ha3 been explained satisfac torily to me, many people do not look at it in the light that I do. I was in Bos ton at the time the affair took place and was, of course. In no way responsible for it, nor do I believe any of the teachers were. But that is the way the matter stands. I have not been able to raise the money readily and I desire that some one else should take the place as presi dent." President Herrick came here from Chicago, where he was serving as secre tary of the Congregational Educational society. Previous to this, Mr. Herrick had been a teacher. He is a graduate of Beloit college in the class of 1873. There is a great deal of guessing being done as to Mr. Herrick's probable suc cessor. Some think that Frederick W. Ellis, professor of Greek, will be chosen. If so. he will assume the duties which President Herrick has abandoned, and will devote meet of his time to soliciting funds. Mr. Ellis recently resigned the posi tion of acting president, and D. L. Mt Eachron was chosen to succeed him. The acting president is the one who is in actual charge of the college, so this move leaves Prof. Ellis free to become the president, or financial agent. On the other hand, it is emphatically denied by some of the trustees that Mr. Ellis could secure the place. He has some unfriendly members of the board to contend with, and there would likeiy be a hard tight made on his election. It is likely that the selection of presi dent will not be finally made for some time, possibly not for a year or more. Kansas City and Return $2.67 VIA THE SANTA FE. Account Mystic Shrine.

MOTHER IN THE WEST. Husband and Step-Mother Quar relled Over Children. Relatives Are Indignant Orer Action of Fry. Daniel Fry baa begun steps to gain possession of four children left with Police Matron Thorpe by his brother last week. He left the children with Mrs. Thorpe claiming that be was un able to provide for them, although he Is working in the Santa Fe offices. The history of the case is unusual extending over a period of several years. "The beginning of the marital trou bles between Mr. and Mrs. Joe Fiy, which have resulted in the breaking up of the family and the granting of a di vorce asked by my brother, and the consequent abandonment of his child ren," said Daniel Fry today, "was in 1897, when toe sent his wife No. 1 back to Pittsburg, Pa., on a vacation. She went to live with her parents. "A few weeks previous to bis sending his wife back to her home apparently on a pleasure trip, he became enamour ed of a widow, a Mrs. Hix who lived at that time in Parkdale. Mrs. Hix was formerly Miss Alice McClain. She was ilrst married to a Mr. .Whitehead and afterwards to Mr. Hix, and finally to my brother. "W'ithin two weeks after Mrs. Fry No. 1 went back east he had made an application in the district court for a divorce. "On January 4, 1898, he was granted the divorce and on May 2S, following he was married to Mrs. Hix, contrary to the provisions of the law of Kansas which require six months to elapse be fore marrying after securing a divorce. "I repeatedly went to my brother and tried to persuade him to go back to his family but he always refused to listen to me. "During the time the divorce proceed ings were pending in the courts he kept writing to his wife and promised to go back to live with her. Her father was an old soldier and was a hard working man. To help support herself and her family Mrs. Fry used to work by the week. Her children were then 2, 4 and 7 years old. After her return to her par ents another girl was born to her. "For three years Mrs. Fry lived with her parents, always expecting that her husband would come back to her. She refused to believe that he had been married again. "Last February my brother went back to get the children, after first making arrangements with their moth er to bring them to Topeka. "She met my brother at the depot at Pittsburg with the children. She then asked him if he had been married again, and he answered her that he had. That was the first time she would believe that he was married. She said that she would not allow this other woman to take care of her children and got a ticket and came on to Topeka with him. "When they arrived in Topeka I acci dentally met them in the depot. The children and their mother were together and when I asked her where my brother was she said that he had gotten off the train at Kansas City. He however got on the same train and came to Topeka. "I went out to find him. I asked him what he intended to do with his family. He said he didn't know. To which I ask ed him why he brought them here. I told him he would have to make some rangenient for the children. This was February 7, l&ol. "It was finally agreed between US that if he would furnish money to support his children from the check he drew each month from the Santa Fe he would not be prosecuted by his first wife. He rent ed a small house on Locust street and supplied a few dollars for her to set up housekeeping, rnis witn the tnings lur nished her by myself and my wife and the articles she bought on time gave her a start at housekeeping. My brother furnished a few dollars for their support but during the severe snow storm in February he refused to do an other thing. She was in destitute cir cumstances and I went to him to make him lay aside fifteen or twenty dollars from his check each month for them. I took him to a lawyer who advised him to do the same thing. His second wife obiected but he finally consented to fur nish the money. But instead of living up to his agreement he drew his money on the following Saturday and skipped out to Victor, Colorado. Wife No. 2 was not long in following him. "About a month after he went to Vic tor his first wife went out and started proceedings against him to compel him to care for the children. The members of the Humane society took it up and made things pretty hot for him. I final ly went out and managed to get a settle ment. Wife No. 2 agreed to not bother my brother any more and he agreed to come back and take care of the children. I paid all his expenses in Colorado and brought him back here. He came to live with me and brought the children to my house. His first wife remained at Victor and is there now working for her own support. He lived with me for about a month at which time wife No. 2 appeared here again and he left my home again to go to housekeeping with her. He took the children with him. They lived together for a week when a violent quarrel arose over the children. She refused to do anything for them and they parted. After this cuarrel and parting my brother.

TOPEIvA STATE JOTTRNAL, MONDAY "EVENING. JUNE 10, 1901. ALL EUROPE IS liflOOKliiOi Trying to Break Up the Tan American Congress. TVhicli is riamied to Meet In Citj of Mexico. WANT IT TO FAIL. Afraid It Will Result iu a Loss of Trade. United States is Accused of Haying Political Designs. New York, June 10. A special to the Herald from "Washington says: Keen American observers of foreign diplomacy and commerce put an entire ly new construction upon the struggle between South American republics which threatens to wreck the approach ing Pan-American congress to be held in the City of Mexico. They say that behind the matter the dispute between Peru and Bolivia on the one hand and Chili on the other, over the arbitration of the Tacna and Africa dispute, are the machinations of European diplomats and European bus lness interests. Europe does not want the Pan-American congress to be a success. While the Cnited States is engaged In an effort to capture the markets of Eur ope, all Europe is busy in a race for the markets of South America. Europe is Increasing its export trade with Vene zuela, Brazil, Argentina and Chili. The Ignited States exports trade to South America is rapidly falling off, with the exception of that to Venezuela. It is said to be important to European trade that the Pan-American congress should not be held. Anything that brings close unification between the United States and the Central and touth American countries is bound to lead to closer commercial relations. A gentleman who is very closely in touch with the purpose and scope of the Pan-American congress says that Eur opean influences have been busy in San tiago, Chili, encouraging the Chilian povtrnment to take the stand that threatens to disrupt the congress. Ho also says that the same influences have been at work in Lima, urging the Pe ruvians to combat the position taken by Chili. Similar diplomatic effort has been in progress in Buenos Ayres prim ing the Argentine government to refuse to enter the congress unless Chili yields. The idea put forth by foreign agents has permeated all South America that the United States seeks to control the politics of the various countries, and is holding the Pan-American exposition and projecting the Pan-American con gress for the purpose of making Soutii America appear as the tail to the North American kite. The statement has also been made to the war and state departments that in much the same way have the difficul ties of the United States been increased In Cuba. A gentleman who has spent much time in Havana says that foreign consuls there are in much closer touch with influential elements in the consti tutional convention than the Ameri cans, and have been very successful in Bowing suspicion and discord. The Pan-American exposition in Buf falo is a direct menace to the trade of European countries. It threatens for eign trade, and if it were followed by a Pan-American congress which should establish arbitration, then the United States would be in a position to restore frier failing trade south of Panama. James M. Ayers, United States consul to Rosario, Argentina, who is in Wash ington, said: "American machinery leads the world In Argentina, but to increase our trade It is necessary for our merchants to tdve more attention to South American trade. A reciprocity treaty would give the bulk of the trade to the United fetates." THEY TELL WHY. Text of Tarker-IInghes sion Handed Down. Deci- The supreme court handed down the (written decision in the Parker-Hughes mandamus case, appealed from the de cision of Judge Hazen, late Saturday afternoon. The court some time ago reversed Judge Hazen's decision allowing a per emptory writ to compel the city council es a board of canvassers to consider the tallies of the last city election and to Issue to Albert Parker a certificate of election. Justices Johnston. Ellis, Cun ningham and Greene voted to reverse Judge Hazen and Chief Justice Doster and Justices Smith and Pollock voted to sustain the decision of the lower court. Chief Justice Doster wrote both the opinion of the court and the dis senting opinion. The syllabus of the case is as follows: "Under sections 10 and 11. chapter 206, laws of 18s9, and section 82, chapter 87. laws of ISM. tally markings of the votes for candidates for office in cities of the lirst class are required to be made by the clerks of election and returned to the city council as the canvassing board as a part of the returns of the election, and in case of a discrepancy between the tally marks and the certificates of the total votes for the candidates, made by the election officers, the former con trol and require a declaration of the re sult to be made In conformity there with. "Mandamus will only issue on a show ing of clear legal right; therefore, a canvass of the returns of an election made by a canvassing board, which re turns are ambiguous, uncertain and dif ficult to understand, will not be ordered to be made anew, and a different re sult announced, upon an inspection by the court of the same returns. "While a board of election canvass ers is an official entity, and a canvass of the election returns made by it is the act of the board and not the separate acts of the individuals composing it, yet an order of the court requiring the board to canvass a vote and declare the result in accordance with a certain rule laid down for its guidance may be ap pealed from by any individual member fcf the board." The opinion of the court In the Parker-Hughes mandamus case covers eight pages and the dissenting opinion Mttn fajpss. Both, opinions .were .writ ten by C. J. Doster. In reference to the commissioner of elections law and the general election law. which was re ferred to in the case and was held by the attorneys for Parker that the com missioner of elections law governed, the court held that the election was held under the city election law and that the action of the canvassing board in considering the tallies was proper. The court also held that "none of me provisions of the 'Australian ballot law seem to have application to the case." The court refers to the laws of 1SS1 and 1889 as governing the city election and after quoting the laws says: "It will be observed that none of the sections above quoted provide in terms for the keeping of a tally list by the clerks of the election, and it will be observed that none of them provide for the trans mission of the election returns from the election officers to the board of canvas sers, and it is conceded by counsel on both sides that there are no statutory provisions in which terms direct how, or by whom, returns of city elections shall be laid before the board or can vassers. It is however, conceded by counsel on both sides that the election returns in Question did properly get be fore the board of canvassers and we are, therefore, relieved from a consid eration of the regularity of the proceed ings hi that respect, but the question, what are election returns in a city of the first class, still remains. We are constrained to think that under section 10, above quoted, the keeping of a tally list at a city election is a legal require ment, and being such, that it consti tutes a part of the election returns." In reference to the question of the right of Parker to bring a mandamus proceeding the court says: "That the plaintiff s showing of the legal right was not clear and therefore that the writ should not have been al lowed to him, is said in view of the ruling just made that the tally mar-kings may be examined, and in cases of discrepancy may control the certificate of totals. In that view of the case the board of canvassers were as well quali fied to examine the tallies and declare a result therefrom as was the court be low, and unless the tally markings clearly showed that the board of can vassers was in error, and that the plaintiff had received the greater num ber of votes, the discretion of the court below to award the writ should have been differently exercised. However, it is due to the court to say that w hile it made findings of fact from which the inference may be drawn that it took into account the tally markings,, its judgment seems to have been rested upon the legal propositions that the tally markings constituted no part of the election returns, and that the cer tificates of totals could alone be looked at to determine the result. This we think as error." In reference to the action of a ma jority of the council in refusing to ap peal the case, the court said: "Objec tion is made in this court to our right to review the case because some of the members of the city council, made de fendants in the court below, have re fused to join as plaintiffs in error in this court. In fact, as the defendants in error claim a minority of the defend ants in the court below join in the prosecution of the proceedings in error. It is true that a board of election can vassers acts as an entity. The canvass is the act of the board and not the sep arate or separable acts of the indi viduals composing it. However, it by no means follows that an individual member of the political entity who has been commanded to make a canvass, may not appeal in his individual right from the order made upon him. It would be intolerable to refuse to an individual member of such board who has been commanded to take part, along with his fellows, in the canvass of a vote, or in its canvass according to some legal rule laid down to him. the right to appeal from the order which his conscience would not permit him to obey or which in bis judgment was erroneous." In the dissenting opinion Chief Justice Doster says: "I dissent from the fore going opinion. In my judgment the re turns of a city election consist solely of the summary statements provided by sections 10 and 11, chap. 206, laws of 1SS9. I am of the opinion that under the law for the election of state, district and county officers, the tally lists constitute a part of the election returns. The sta tute providing for city elections does not in terms provide for the keeping of a tally list. I concede the proposition of majority that the statute of its own force carries the election returns to the board of canvassers. I do not concede, however, that the statute of its own force carries the election returns from the judges and clerks of election direct to the board of canvassers. The sta tute provides for the making up of sum mary 'statements by the judges and clerks. Unquestionably these statements are evidences of the result of the elec tion. Inasmuch as the statute ex pro prio vigore carries the returns, whatever the returns may be, to the board of can vassers, why not say that the statute carries those returns from the board of elections which, as we see, officially re ceives them from the judges and clerks, as to say that it carries them from the judges and clerks past the board of elec tions to the board of canvassers? The statute provides for the making up of summary statements as evidences of the result of the election. It does not pro vide for the sending of those statements to the board of canvassers. "To my mind there is no cogent reasons why, independently of the statutes to the contrary, the certified totals of election officers should alone be considered the le gal returns of the election. There is far less opportunity between closing the polls and the canvassing of the result to forge a certificate of an election officer than there is to tamper with a tally sheet. Tallies are pen markings made opposite the names of the candidate for the pur pose of keeping the account of their votes as the ballots are taken out of the box. It is easy, indeed, to add a few tallies to the vote of a candidate and it is easier to efface a few tally marks by the use of chemicals than it is to erase the fig ures of a candidate's total vote contained in the judges' certificate and write in a different number. Besides, the rule an nounced by the majority of the court makes the certified totals of no account whatever in case of a discrepancy be tween them and the tally list. "The learned judsre of the court below in his decision of the case filed a written opinion which, in my judgement, entirelv covers the ground and leaves little if anything more to be said in defense of-the proposition that under the statutes we are considering only the certiiicates of the election officers examined by the can vassing board. I content myself with sub joining the greater portion of that opin ion as expressing The views I entertain." The major portion of Judge Hazen's opinion is quoted by Justice Doster.

Senator Harris Doesn't See How One Can Be Avoided. Decision of Supreme Court Makes It Necessary. SEES SO DIFFERENCE. Thinks Philippines Are in Same Position as Porto Ilico. Talks Interestingly About a Third Term For McKiuley. Washington, T. C, June 10 The decis ion of the president and the cabinet not to call an extra session of congress to deal with the Philippine question has been somewhat a surprise to senators and representatives who believe that the session was absolutely necessary. Senator W. A. Harris of Kansas, who is still in Washington, was seen by the State Journal representative, and he said he did not see how an extra session could be avoided. He did not see how the president could continue the present situation, even under the guise of a mil itary administration. "It seems to me," said the senator, as he sat in the library of his cool and roomy home at the corner of Thirteenth and L streets, "that action by congress is indispensable to a settlement of the questions concerning the Philippines which have arisen since the decision by the supreme court. If the president proposes to establish civil government in the islands, I certainly do not see how he can escape being entirely at sea unless he has congress to enact some law, such as was passed for Porto Kico. The Spooner law does not give him au thority to legislate tariff rates for this country, and although I see there is some talk of imposing an export duty on ar ticles leaving the Philippines, this would be, in my opinion, mere juggling. Be sides, an export duty has always been abhorrent to the American mind. We criticised Brazil very emphatically when that country placed an export duty on coffee, and we can hardly un dertake to be guilty of the action which we condemned in Brazil. "And then there is another way of looking at the matter," continued Sen ator Harris. "The president appealed to congress to pass the Foraker Porto Kico law, the Piatt Cuban amendment, and the Spooner law in order, as he said, that congress might share with him the responsibility of government. I should think that he would have liked congress to share with him the respon sibility of the situation created by the supreme court decision. I cannot for the life of me see any difference be tween the Philippine case, which is un decided, and the Porto Rico case, in which a decision was rendered. And if they are the same, it is no excuse for the administration to go on and collect duties with the statement that these duties can be refunded." Senator Harris was in Kansas recent ly and there noted the great prosperity of the people. It was expected that the wheat crop this year would reach the enormous aggregate of 100,000,000 bush els, but it now seems as if the figures would not rise much above the total of last year, about 70,000,000 bushels. Reference to prosperity led to some talk on the political situation and the good fortune which has marked McKinley's administration. "It seems," said Sen ator Harris, "as if Providence and McKinley have been in partnership." "Will the outcome be the nomination of President McKinley for a third term?" "There will undoubtedly be a number of claqueurs and toadies who will soon be suggesting the third nomination of President McKinley," was the reply, "but I cannot believe that the presi dent will be a party to the movement. The sentiment against a third term is very strong in the country and espec ially so in the middle west. I can imag ine, though, that in California, where the president's expansion policy has been of great benefit in stimulating trade with the Orient, there would be a natural feeling of friendliness for him, which might even go to the extent of supporting him for a third term. While I do not believe that the president w ill seek a third term or that his name will be seriously suggested, I can readily understand how circumstances might arise which would bring his name for ward in that connection. "In the first place, if the present era of prosperity continues, the business element, which is entirely without sen timent, may say that it is worth while to keep Mr. McKinley in the White House. The president was re-elected mainly because the people did not want to make a change. Ihe same feeling might operate in his favor if good times continue, when the next nominating convention is held. This would espe cially be the case if the opposition failed to unite upon some one in whom the country had implicit confidence. And I can understand, too," added Mr. Harris, "how the president might be willing to accept a third nomination if it came to him with practical una nimity and as a testimonial of his ad ministration of national affairs. He would have every reason to look upon it as a high honor. Still, looking at the matter of practical politics, there will be enough aspirants for the presidential nomination to prevent Mr. McKinley from having the field all to himself, and the third-term advocates if there be any. could hardly carry their point." Looking forward to the next session of congress Senator Harris expressed the hope that some progress would be made toward securing the election of senators by the people and toward the construction of the Nicaragua canal. He anticipates a lively fight upon the tariff question, and says that the action of Representative Babcock is sustained by a very large portion of the voters. 'I agree with Mr. Babcock, he said. "that American goods should not be sold cheaper abroad than they are sold here yet I know that such is the case, for when I was in Europe I found boots and shoes, agricultural implements and othsr American manufactures sold at a lower price than in the United States. "The trouble is that our manufactures want to find all their profit in the home market and then dispose of their sur plus stock abroad. The tariff enables them to do this and I am not surprised at the public sentiment which is man ifesting itself. I expect the whole ques tion to be very thoroughly discussed during the next session of congress." L. WILLIAM THAVIS. In the Interest of Peace. New York. June 10. The Rev. Tr. Rob ert S.

Decorated Automobiles to Ap pear in the Parade. Kansas City, June 10. Shriners are coming to town by the thousand. They are making the pilgrimage to Kansas City to attend the twenty-seventh an nual meeting of the imperial council of the Mystic Shrine.

Rowell, of Aleppo temple, Boston, with a party of five attendants. Tonight a street parade composed of seven divisions and made up of nobles from different parts of the United States and Canada will mark the open ing of the gathering. A feature will be a number of gaily decorated auto mobiles. There is but little talk as yet as to the selection of a place for the 1902 meeting, and what gossip is heard in regard to the next imperial potentate favors the re-election of Philip Shaffer, of Philadelphia. BLOW FOlt JOINTISTS. Not Necessary to Prove Direct Sale in Nuisances Cases. In reversing tne Cherokee county court in the case of the State vs. Brown and Robertson the defendants escape a conviction by the lower court for viola tion of the prohibitory low. In that country James Brown is known as the joint king." He Is credited with own ing a large number of the "joints," and is said to have acquired a fortune in the business. The reversal of the lower court is on technical grounds. Judge Skidmore, of the Cherokee county dis trict court, appointed his brother as special county attorney to prosecute liquor cases when the county attorney was in the county and was supposed to be attending to his business. The con victions secured, the cases were ap pealed, and the supreme court held that under the circumstances the judge had no authority to appoint a deputy at torney. The jointists went free. In two other cases the supreme court handed down decisions that will revolu tionize the practice of law under the nuisance act. It held that it is not nec essary to prove a direct sale of liquor in order to convict a jointist under, the nuisance lawr. Two decisions witlr'fhat conclusion were rendered, one in each division of the court. Justice Ellis wrote a long opinion in the Frank Schoenthaler case, appealed from Ellis county. Justice Smith wrote an opinion in the Claud Lewis case from Allen county. The same point was involvea in each case, and both decisions were identical as tcf conclusions, and were unanimous. This means that if a county attorney wants to he can make the jointists very uncomfortable. The great difficulty in the prosecution of liquor cases of a.ll kinds in the past has been to prove a direct sale. Under the law as laid down now in nuisance cases the di rect proof of sale is not necessary. If it is shown that liquor and bar fixtures are kept at a certain place generally known as a drinking place the pro prietor can be prosecuted and convicted without further evidence. This decision was on the old law. It, in effect, sus tains the new Hurrel liquor nuisance law. UNCLE Sm DODGES. Seeks toAyoid Paying "Sinking of the Maine" Claims. New Tork, June 10. A special to the Tribune from Washington says the government will resist the proposition that the Spanish treaty claims commis sion should undertake consideration of the question of responsibility for the destruction of the battleship Maine in Havana harbor on February 15, 1898, that question being involved in a batch of claims which have recently been pre sented to the commission, reciting dam ages for loss of life through that dis aster, i LUZON RICHES. General F. D. Grant Speaks Highly of the Philippines. New Tork, June 10. In an article In the coming issue of Leslie's Weekly, Gen. Frederick D. Grant will say that the value of the Philippines to the United States can not be over-estimated. "It will," General Grant says, "in crease with the development of the isl ands and the growth of our trade with Asia, It is greatest, therefore, from a commercial standpoint, but it remark able also as a strategic basis in time of war. "A man with a small income can build up a competence there more readily than in this country, and the field is full of opportunity for the industrious and thrifty. The soil is capable of sup porting three times the number of in habitants, and of doing it much better than they are now supported, when there are better facilities for transpor tation." Kobert Buchanan Dead. London. June 10. Robert Williams Bu chanan, poet and prose writer, is dead. He was born August IS, 1841. i Mr mA& CHILI PAYS CLAIMS. Four Americans Keceire Long Sought Awards. New Tork, June 10. A "Washington dispatch to the Herald gives the names of four Americans who have obtained awards from the Chilian claims commis sion. Mr. Hallowes of New York will receive $9,000 for the detention of ma chinery during the blockade of Iquique; Andrew Moss, who lives in Chili, will re ceive $6,000 for the destruction of his property during a battle near Valpa raiso; McKinstry and O'Brien, who sal vaged a wreck near Punta Arenas, have been awarded $2,000, and Maurice Leveck, a naturalized citizen," will re ceive $5,000 for personal injuries sus tained in 1S39. With the exception of Itata case, the commission has com pletely its consideration of claims of American citizens against Chili and of Chilians against the United States, and when it dies by limitation next week the claims docket between the two countries will be clean. NEW ORLEANS SECOND. Takes the Lead of Boston as an Exporting City. New Tork, June 10. A1 special from Washington to the Tribune says that a study of the figures of the bureau of statistics, giving the exports through the various ports of the United States in the fiscal year 1900, shows that in that year and the months which have follow ed New Orleans has taken second rank as an exporting port, and has displaced Boston in its position as the second ex porting city of the country. The heavy exportations of cotton and the high price at which it is exported have largely in creased the value of the exports through the southern ports, while it is not im probable that the Galveston disaster may have resulted in temporarily di verting to New Orleans some of the business which otherwise would have gone through Galveston. The exports from iew Orleans in the fiscal year 1900, were $115,858,764, the highest figures in the mstory or the port, except 1892, and; an increase of $28,000,000 over the fiscal year 1899. In the nine months of the fiscal year 1901 the exports from New Orleans were $122,234,669, securing for that city a clear and undisputed title to the rank of second iu the list of American export cities.

WHEAT Steady ca bles and favorable weather induced a feeling of weakness in wheat today. July opened a shade under Saturdav's close, at 7oV731.2e.

"The publication of the weekly bank statement was followed by liberal selling, but much of this must have been due to professional operators founded upon sentiment alone. No expectation of what is called an "en couraging statement" had been enter tained early in the week when prices of Flocks were rising, it is possiuie mat some speculators were startled by the large increase in the -item of loans. The expansion of these obligations by the banks is now generally understood to be Island stocks, but the reflection of opera tions concluded abruptly in the middle of the week for the. providing of funds to underwrite the proposed consolidation of the American and Continental Tobacco companies. There is nothing in the bank statement to cause the slightest alarm and it is more than likely that the statement next Saturdav will correct present appear ances.

Pertinent Remarks on the Li cense of the Tongue. WORDS WEST HOME. Auditors Felt They Were Sub ject of Discourse. Good Adrice About EtiI Speak ing and Slander. Dean Sykes preached a sermon at Grace cathedral Sunday morning on the subject of "License of. Tongue and the Evil Effects Thereof." The sermon was evidently aimed at some of the members of the church here who have been making charges against Mr. Sykes. It produced quite a sensa tion in the congregation. Mr. Sykes' remarks were couched in such smooth and eloquent language that the church members had to sit and take it, though they felt that they were the ones who were being made the subject of the dis course. Mr. Sykes said in part: "St. James was the apostle of a prac tical Christianity. It was his office to speak strongly against a class of people who made loud professions but whose whole lives gave the lie to their cry. 'Be ye doers of the word and not hearers;' 'What doth it profit if a man say I have faith, and have not works.' These were some of his utterances to the religious world of his day. But hia strongest denunciations were reserved for those who gave unbridled liberty to their tongue. "Let me speak to you this morning about the unbridled tongue and its ef fects. "First, let us talk about slander. I do not refer to that form for which the law fully provides, but to that w hich is too subtile for human law. This form of evil speaking is declared by an inspired apostle to be poison. The deadliest poisons are those for which no test is known. There are poisons so powerful that one drop injected into the veins produces death in three seconds, and yet it is so insidious that no chemical science can detect its presence. "Now there are persons in this city and in all cities, who pass from man to man and from woman to woman, repeat ing evil words which are deadly in their results, and yet you can not evaporate the truth from the falsehood and point out the slander that lurks therin. "Perhaps words were not used, for words are not necessary to the destruc tion of some brother or sister. A drop of the lip. an arched eyebrow-, the shrug of the shoulder, even an emphatic silence may do the deadly work. "You congratulate yourselves, raj friends, that the days of persect-nt,;. are over; and so they are as to crucifix ions of the flesh. You never burned a human being alive; you never rejoiced over the death shriek of some one who was suffering the quick or slow process of physical death. No, but did you, never rob some man or woman of friend3, or take from them their good name, or gleefully repeat some miser able gossip, or purposely misinterpret their acts and words. "We live by that on which we feed. If we feed on gossip we become slander ers. If we feed on evil speaking, we become vicious. The man who speaks an unkind work against bis brother is taking the first step toward the pit or destruction which has no bottom. A Christian can not speak evil or repeat evil of any soul .vithout renouncing his birthright. The thing is against nature. It is against the spirit of Christ, and to do it renders one a monster. The oiHce of the tongue is blest. How dare we vise it to curse? How dare you assume the part of the devil whose very name means traducer or evil accuser? "If the angel Gabriel were to come to me in that confidential and whispered manner which you know so well, and utter words of slander about my fellow man. I would say Gabriel, you are suf fering with incipient paranoia: you are no longer an angel of light, you are an aneel of darkness.' "Sometimes when I hear men and women indulge in evil speaking, slander and the repetition of false reports which I know must leave a scar upon the soul. I can almost put into prayer the wonderful lines of Tennyson: 'Arise me God, and strike, for we hold the just Strike dead the whole weak race of venomous worms.

Ill I "1 n -Tr till vVsi- rv-1 FOR THE CROP FAILURE "ARTISTS." FOREIGN CROPS. Wheat Is Short in England and Ger many Better in France. London, June 10. The Mark Lane Ex press in its weekly crop review today says: "Owing to the deficiency In rain, Eng lish hay inevitably will be considerably below the average and importers who are not now complaining of the plethora of dry food stuffs, such as oats and maize will find a good sale for them long before this time next year. "It may be added that with foreign wheat we are not at all overstocked. The official report shows the French wheat crop is better than anticipated so that if the week-end markets are depressed, it is only the sure large coincident im port requirements in England, France and Germany that a large surplus both in America and Russia could be ade quately balanced. The present outlook is that there will be a large deficiency both in England. Germany and a large surplus in the United States and Russia. Therefore France seems to hold the scale and confirmation of the present news is awaited with interest. The spread of rust in Hungary Is ser ious. Unless it rain soon, the crops will be gravely injured. "In Austria, the prospects are regard ed as very unfavorable and the agricul tural affairs of the dual monarchy should be watched attentively, for the deterioration of French and Austria Hungary prospects might in the present state of trade alter the balance of power and shift the control of the wheat and flour markets from the buyer to the seller."

1 TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, MONDAY EVENING. JUNE 10, 1001. o 1 1 SO DECEPTIVE Many Topeka People Fail to Real ize the Seriousness. Backache Is so deceptive. It comes and goes keeps you guess ing. Beam the cause then cure it. 1 Nine times out of ten It comes from the kidneys. t That's why Doan's Kidney Pills cure It. Cure every kidney ill, from back trou bles to diabetes. Here's a Topeka case to prove it: Mr. George Howard of 341 Shawnee avenue says: "I had rheumatism and kidney complaint more or less for ten years. The pain in my back and limbs was so severe that I could hardly walk up town. I was treated by the best physicians, but they could do nothing for me and I spent lots of money for other remedies but without obtaining relief. In addition to the backache there was a difficulty with the kidney secretions which was distressing and annoying: especially nights. When I saw Doan's Kidney Pills advertised I pro cured a box at Kowley Snow's drug store and grave them a fair trial. The first box did me so much good that I procured a second, then a third. I felt better a,fter taking the treatment than I had before for years. The pain in my back disappeared and the kidney diffi culty was regulated." For sale by all dealers. Price 50 cents.

New Tork, June 10. Terry McGovern has arrived in New Tork fresh from his recent victories on the Pacific coast. 5Vhen asked what he thought of Her rera, Terry said: "That fellow took a lot of beating and no mistake. He is mighty clever, too. In the fourth round he hit me two wal lops on the neck, and up to tne gong tap I didn't know whether I was on my feet or sitting down. Any figure who wants to challenge him can do it, but they can take the 'tip' from me that Herrera can put in a punch nearly as hard as Tom Sharkey.

Yesterday afternoon the police were called to ar rest a supposed burglar on A street. When they arrived they found the man 3iad entered a house by a rear window. The othVers followed, and when the stranger saw them approach he seized a board a.nd pounded it to splinters over their heads. Reinforcements were sent for. Chief Fackler being left alone,, the man sprang at him with a hammer, but the latter dodged and Sergeant Mc Coy, who had just entered, wrenched the hammer from his -hand. A desperate fight to put handcuffs on the man followed. The man, was en dowed with inhuman strength, and snarled and growled at the men at tempting to overpower him. One of the man's arms had fallen free, and a. liandcuff was snapped. The other arm was doubled under his breast on the loor, and in spite of the efforts of half a dozen men could not be made to give up. Finally Sergeant McCoy managed to wrench the arm out, and the other cuff was fastened to his wrist. When taken to the station it was dis covered that the stranger was a wild man who had been on exhibition here and who had been locked out of his bouse. i AT GRANT'S TOMB. Vandals Ruining Trees Planted by Li Hung Chang. New Tork, June 10. Recent visitors .to Grant's tomb, in Riverside Drive, Shave noticed a tendency toward decay ,ln the trees planted near the mausoleum by Li Hung Chang upon the occasion of that distinguished Celestial states man's visit to the final resting place of iiis friend, the general, several years ttgo. Vandals and curiosity seekers have combined to arrest the growth of the trees and destroy their life by tearing leaves and branches from their boughs, and although extra vigilance is main tained to guard against the desecration the trees continue to be despoiled. A substantial fence. with extra iruards, will prohpbly be provided by the park commissioners. In contrast to the care taken of the Li Hung Chang trees, it is pointed out that the Jap anese, ever since the visit of General and Mrs. Grant to the mikado, have carefully protected and nourished the trees which the general and his wife planted on that occasion, i I i Buena Vista in Darkness, Buena Vista, Col., June 10.

Augustus Rath bone, T3 years old, of San Jose, Cal., who is staying' now in a Brooklyn hotel, arrived here .Wednesday afternoon with $.5 and a check for $500. i He had not been in New Tork for nearly 50 years. The city has changed so much since his last visit that he became completely be wildered and lost. A detective was as signed to the hunt for the old man's cash and check.

Strauss gave Rathbone's belongings to the detective. Rathbone is a native of Providence, Jl. I. In 18D2, he left there to go west, where he made his fortune.

The heavy orders are from the South Amer ican railroad which is being built across the Andes from the port of Guayaquil to Quito, the capital, about 200 miles. As more than a hundred miles of this road into a new land has now been put in active operation, and forty miles ad ditional soon is to be opened, the rail road has placed rush orders with Amer ican manufacturers for large amounts of steel rails, bridges and cars. The Carnegie plant has begun a ship ment of 40,000 tons of steel rails. Two 65-ton "locomotives, equipped "with driv ers for mountain grades, have also been started.

Vina Seavey Says She Will Kill Slay er of Frank Rutledge. New Tork, June 10. A special to the World from Toronto says: Vina Seavey, the young woman who has shown such devotion to Frank Rut ledge and his fellow prisoners who were so tragically wiped out of existence a few days ago, declares that if she ever discovers who supplied to the gang the revolvers that eventually wrecked the party through the desperate use made of the weapons by the criminals, she will kill the person with her own hands. "I shall never rest until I do," said she to the police and reporters, "for he has killed them (Rutledge and Jones) both." Some persons believe that she was not in the plot by which the revolvers w ere thrown into the carriage where the prisoners sat. It is believed that the rescue plot was planned in Chicago, and that the man or woman in man's cloth ing, as may be. who threw the revol vers into the closed carriage was sent from that city and has returned there.

AID FOR STRIKERS. New Tork Federated Union Asked to Assist Machinists. New Tork, June 10. At a recent meet ing of the State Federated Union, the privilege of the floor was given to a committee from International Associa tion of Machinists who asked permission to lay the case of the striking" machinists before the body. A. Kunzelman of this committee, said that the principal point now was to keep 20.000 non-union men who had gone on a strike with the union men from rushing back to work. "There are 50,000 machinists on strike for the shorter work day throughout the United States." he continued. "Of these, 30,000 belong to the union, and we have to keep the other 20,000 in line. We ac cept the challenge of the national trades association and will figrht until we win or until the end. Should we win, as I hope and believe, it means a nine-hour work day for 650.000 people throughout the United States." He paid that the fight would be a long and bitter one and asked the central body to lend its aid financially and otherwise. It would require $150,000 a week, he said, to pay strike benefits for the non-union men. The meeting voted to give $100,000 directly to the machinists and adopted a resolution directing the secretary to write to all the affiliated unions asking for financial assistance for the strikers. $16.00 To Chicago and Keturn Via Tha Rock Island Route.

TO FOLLOW PETER COOPER. Carnegie Is Expected to Take TJp Dead Fhilanthropist'sWork. New Tork, June 10. The Herald says: Andrew Carnegie, who was elected a trustee of Cooper Union last October, is credited with a plan for the extension of the work begun by the late Peter Cooper, which will involve the expenditure of a large sum of money. Cooper Union, it is said by one in authority will be remodel ed to make room for the improvements contemplated by Mr. Carnegie, whose purpose is to duplicate the present en downment fund amounting to $2,054,015, without attracting attention to himself. Mr. Carnegie has already given $300,000 as a special endowment to Cooper Union, and it is said he would have raised this gift to $3,000,000, but for the fear that his munificence would overshadow that of the founder of the institution, Peter Cooper. Mr. Carnegie's plan, while not fully matured, has been made known ap proximately to the trustees of Cooper Union. It was hinted at by ex-Mayor Abram S. Hewitt in his speech at the commencement exercises a few days ago. It is learned from an authoritative source that Mr. Carnegie's purpose is to add to the Cooper Union endowment, as quietly as possible, and very likely in installments, a sum equal to the total of the gifts already received. This means an addition of at least $2,000,000 to the general fund. Before leaving for England, Mr. Car negie discussed with Mr. Hewitt and the other trustees of Cooper Union plans for broadening the scope of the institution's usefulness. It was then decided to do away with the stores on the ground floor of the building, on the Third avenue side, and to utilize this space by the establishment of an industrial museum. A ncleus for such a museum was pre sented to the union several years ago, and J. Pierpont Morgan has since con tributed four collections of textile fabrics and decoration models, valued in all at $100,000, which make possible the crea tion of a museum, second to none in the world.

The trans port Rosecrans and the revenue cutter Bear were towed to the Puget Sound naval station at Bremerton yesterday. The authorities expect that work on the vessels will proceed no faster at the naval station than it would at Seattle or Tacoma, inasmuch as the machinists and boilermakers are expected to refuse to work. A delegate from the unions is visiting the naval station and will endeavor to persuade the men to refuse to work on either vessel. 1 1 Rock Island Route. $2.67 Kansas City and return $2.67.

'"I shall not go back to Pretoria in an official capacity." he said, "but I have a gjeat desire to see the country, and shall visit South Africa as soon as peace is restored." Mr. Hay has left here for Boston. Test Old Soldier Law. By way of testing the old soldiers' ap pointment law, according to the resolu tion adopted at the Junction City en campment, it is probable that the case from Sterling, Kan., will be appealed to the supreme court. This will give a quick route to a decision. Judge Ciark decid ed that the law was unconstitutional on the grounds of class legislation when an old soldier brought suit under the law to compel his appointment to a job under the city administration.
