6 LAST EDITION TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 18, 1901. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS jar i T l j hii i j F.1'KEEVER SAFE. His Assistant U. S. Attorneyship Not Jeopardized. Those Who Know Say lie Can "ol Lose. A QUEER SITUATION. Burton's Adrisors Are at "Wide Variance. Low and Case Want Barker, 21 ul vane and Grimes, Tracy. The rumor that George J. Barker will be appointed United States dis trict attorney, which started the tongues of the gossips a-waggin last week, has started another train o.f thought, and that Js. If Barker is ap pointed, will E. D. McKeever, of To peka lose the position of assistant which has been conceded to him? It has been admitted that Mr. Mc Keever will have this position, and there have been no other candidates, but now the knowing ones whisper that JUcii.eever may lose in the event tt: Harker is appointed. This statement is based upon the lact that .Barker was speaker of the last house and McKee vcr was speaker pro tern., and is jus tified by the assumption that Burton would not selec t both the speaker and speaker pro tern, to the same isd.itive Positions in the district attorney's of- The gossips have it figured out that in the event H. 15. Tracy loses he may be offered the place of assistant as i salve for his disappointed hopes, du even were Mr. Burton disposed to fa vor him in this way, it is doubtful if he would accept the place. But the fact is that the selection of Mr. Barker would make no difference in the appointment of Mr. McKeever. Like the position of United States mar shal, that position is as good as filled, and the man who will fill it is Mr. Mc Keever. Some of Mr. Burton's friends still In sist that Tracy will get the first place, and Mr. Tracy himself appears to be perfectly confident of his own success in securing the position. It is a strange fact that all the candidates for United States district attorney have had assur ances that they will be appointed rfon intimate friends of Mr. Burton. M Lambert's friends have by no means given up the quest. They have had assurances that Mr. Lambert would be named, and his successful conduct of the office for the past four years would Justify Mr. Burton in se lecting hirn outside of any political ob lation. The men who pretend to stand close to Burton say. however, that Mr. Lambert has no chance of ap pointment, but the knowing ones have been fooled before. In Mr. Burton's Immediate coterie of confidential advisers there is a wide division. IX W. Mulvane and Frank Grimes Insist on the appointment of II. B. Tracy, and they both say that he will get the place. M. A. Low and J. B. Case insist that George J. Barker must have the place. Mr. Low made Barker speaker, and unless he recedes from his demands It is likely that he will win. Mr. Burton knows that Mr. Low is the most potent force in Kan sas politics Just now. and it is unlikely that he would refuse to follow his rec ommendations, even thouerh IX W. Mulvane U national comn itteeman and wants some one else to have the place. George Clark, secretary of state, is no longer admitted to the inner coun cils. He Insisted that Burton should stand by his promise to make Georg; Findiay revenue collector, and conse quently he is in disfavor with the gen tlemen who are known as Mr. Burton's confidential friends. The dispatches from Washington in dicate that the appointments will be announced sooner than anticipated, and It may be that the United Stat-s marshal and United States attrney will be appointed early in Julv. Mean while the politicians will continue to euess and speculate. CUBA'S PRESIDENT. Friends of General Falma Insist on His Accepting Nomination. New York, June 18. The Tribune ays: Horatio S. Rubens, formerly counsel to the Cuban Junta in this city, who came here a few days ago from Cuba, will return to Cuba this week to report to the friends of Gen. T. Estrada Palmi on the possibility of Gen. Palma's ac cepting the nomination for the presi dency of Cuba. Gen. Palma came down from Central Valley. X. T., to talk with Mr. Rubens and although he said that he did not want to run, Mr. Rubers thinks he can be persuaded to accept the nomination. Mr. Rubens said: "Gen. Palma is not seeking office. bu I do not think he will be able to resist the demands of the people of Cuba They are almost a unit for him Palma made himself popular with the Cubans by the way he conducted the affair-? of the Cuban Junta in this city. A genius 1 nui ueeuea as president of Cuba but an honest man. The oniv possible op ponent of Palma is Gen. Bartholomew Masso, the vice president of the revo lutionary provisional government In Cuba. "The reason that there was trouble about the acceptance of the Piatt amendment by th Cubans was that it was not understood there. The election will probably be held In the autumn and the Inauguration of the president will be iu January." Ratified by the Pope. Rome, June IS.

Reports That Prirsca Edwards Was Captured Were Unfounded. Phreveport, La.,' June 18. Prince Edwards, the murderer of John Gray Foster, is still at large. The posses have not abandoned their effort to lo cate him and the search In northeast Texas is still in progress, but ti ere does not seem to be any hope of im mediate results. The rumor that the negro was captured, between Jones ville and Soottsville is- untrue, as well as the statement circulated that Ed wards was caught at Monroe. PINGREEMUST DIE Physicians Say Recovery Is Practically Impossible. Collapse Is Preyented Only by Giving Stimulants. London, June IS. Increasing anxiety is felt regarding the condition of ex-Gov. Pingree of Michigan. Mr. Pingree this morning is considerably weaker than he was yesterday. The stronsest drugs have failed to check the dysentery and the only hopeful EX-GOVERNOR PINGREE OF MICHIGAN, Who is Lying at the Point of symptom is that the patient is enabled freely to partake of nourishment. Mrs. Pingree will sail for London on Monday and the physicians hope that Mr. Pingree may at least be able to see his wife, as he remains perfectly rational. NO HOPE FOR HIM. Detroit. Mich., June 18. A special ca blegram to the Journal from its Lon don correspondent says of the condition of ex-Governor Pingree, who is serious ly ill in that city: Pingree is constantly asking when he can start home. Joe, his son, evades an answer but he now knows that there is no hope. The doctors say it is fool ish for Mrs. Pingree to come. The ulceration of the bowels increases. No food can be retained. A change is ex pected in 24 hours. I am notifying the ambassador." MEDICINE INEFFECTIVE. Detroit, June IS. Ex-Governor Pln- gree's son Joe cables the News today from London the following bulletin on his father's condition: 'Much weaker. Doctors do not think there is much hope of recovery. Strong est remedies apparently have no effect." PARTIALLY UNCONSCIOUS. Dr. Mills said this evening that Mr. Pintrree's condition was becoming most itical. He was partially unconscious and is growing weaker and weaker. The doctor added: "It seems to be too bad that the seri ous nature of his ailment was not dis covered earlier. He ought never to have been allowed to travel on the con tinent. Mr. Pingree is receiving every care and is making a gallant fight; but the ulceration ot the stomach is only one symptom of the complicated dis ease which Is almost impossible to check." RECOVERY IMPOSSIBLE. London, June 18.-7:25 p-. m. Dr. Sir Thomas Barlow. Dr. William Broad- bent, and Dr. Mills bad a consultation this evening regarding the case of Mr. Filigree. A representative of the As sociated Press was informed afterward that the malignant ulceration of the in testines was so pronounced that the re covery of the patient was practically impossible. The frequent administra tion of stimulants alone prevents his collapse. EXPRESS CO. ROBBED. Three Employes Arrested For Sisaling $7,000. New York, June IS. Robert Pentecost, C. M.

BY MISS TAUER. Mrs. Allan Sells' Companion Tells Her Story. Why She Wants 13,000 From the Estate. WAS PAID j0 MONEY. Took in. Sewing to Supply Her Wants. Acted as Maid, Secretary and Manager For Mrs. Sells. The claim of Miss Barbara Tauer against the" estate of the late Sarah. Ann Sells for $15,000 claimed for services as companion, housekeeper, secretary and business representative for Mrs. Sells for ten years prior to tier death was commenced before a Jury of 12 men in the probate court this morning Death in London, England. Miss Tauer was representee by Eu gene Hagan and Chas. Blood Smith. The Sells estate was represented by Abram Bergen and A. W. Dana. Mr. and Mrs. William Sells accompanied Miss Tauer to the court room and sat with her and her attorneys. P. I. Bone broke, administrator for the Sells' es tate, counseled with the lawyers for the estate. Miss Tauer was constantly with Mrs. Sells for ten years. It was always un derstood that in her will Mrs. Sells would remember Miss Tauer handsome ly and Mrs. Sells even stated to friends that she meant to rememoer Miss Tauer in her will and that she would reward her handsomely for her faith ful services. Airs. Sells died suddenly last April and the only will found was one she had executed several years ago and which Jeft Miss Tauer nothing. D. O. Crane was examined as a juror. "Have you expressed any opinion on this claim?" asked Mr. Dana. "Yes, I have said if Miss Tauer has not been compensated for her services that she should be," replied Mr. Crane. "I challenge this man," said" Mr. Dana. "The challenge will be overruled,"said Judge Pagan. Eric Nystrom was examined. "Did you at any time express any opinion about this claim?" asked Mr. Dana. "I said when I read about the claim that she should be paid for her ser vices," said Nystrom. "I challenge the juror," said Mr. Dana. "I think the juryman has not formed an opinion as to whether the claim has been paid. The challenge will be over ruled," said Judge Fagan. A. L. Rice was asked if he had art opinion on the merits of the claim. "I have," answered Rice. "Would evidence remove it?" "No." "Would evidence change it?" "No." "You are excused," said the court. A jury was secured in an hour and Eugene Hagan stated the case for the claimant at 11 o'clock. "The claim simple," said Mr. Hagan. "It is simple as filed, a claim for $15,000 for services of Miss Tauer against the estate of Mrs. Sells for services from 1891 to 1901. "The nature of our claim is for com pensation for services as agreed upon. It will appear from this testimony that Miss Tauer lived in Pottawatomie coun ty. Mrs. Sells heard of her. Her fath er was a farmer. Mr. Sells was out on the road in connection with a circus. Mrs. Sells arranged for her to come and stay with her as companion at $12 a month. Before six months was over Mrs. Sells had become so attached to her that she asked Miss Tauer to be come her companion and a member of her family and she agreed to compen sate her in her will. Mrs. Sells suffered from rheumatism and from then until her death Miss Tauer acted as her nurse. She never dressed or undressed without Miss Tauer's assistance. In 1892 Miss Tauer went home on a visit and Mrs. Sells soon wrote to her and begged her to come back. When Miss Tauer's father was sick and not expected to live Mrs. Sells wrote most pathetic let ters to her and begged her to come back and care for her. Mrs. Sells said her care was more than money could pur chase. Then came Mr. Sells' death and later Mrs. Sells marriage with Simon Greenspan. Miss Tauer objected to the marriage, as did others, and with a feeling of disgust went home. Mrs. Sells was incensed at Miss Tauer and soon after her marriage nade her will in 1sS)d. Then she entreated Miss Tauer to return and Miss Tauer did so and was with her then to her death. Then Greenspan became insane and finally cued and Mrs. Sells became more feeble. Miss Tauer received no compensation She had to take in sewing to make living and contributions from Will Sells helped her along. "When Mrs. Sells died it was Miss Tauer who was with her and the last person Mrs. Sells called and the last name upon her lips was 'Barbara. Wit nesses will tell you that Mrs. Sells Said she would have been dead years ago but for the faithful services of this girl The will will be read and you will not hear in it the name of Barbara Tauer i-D rtoellminl fi Mr.Smith, introduced Mrs.Sells' will in evidence and read it to the jury, in which Will Sells' son, Allan Sells, is made heir to the bulk of the estate and Barbara Tauer is not mentioned. The will was written in August, 1895, and a cordicile attached in 1896. Miss Barbara Tauer was the first wit ness called. "When did you come to Topeka?' asked Attorney Smith. "In 1891," replied Miss Tauer. "Where did you meet Mrs. Sells?'-' "At the Chesterfield hotel." "Then you went home for a visit?" "Yes." "And did "you return?" "Yes." "And assumed new duties?" "Yes." "What were they?" "I acted as nurse, secretary, clerk, collector, housekeeper of the Chester field hotel, putting up fruit, caring for the entire house. I did all the shopping and looked after the linen." "Was Mrs. Sells able to do it?" "No." "Dd you receive pay before you went home "Yes." "You did all the work that would have fallen upon Mrs. Sells had she been able to do it?" "Yes." "What was Mrs. Sells' condition?" "She was sick with rheumatism." "What did you have to do for her?" "I had to rub her." "Was that her condition to her death?" "Yes, only she grew worse." "Did you bathe her, comb her hair, and act as maid?" "Yes." "Was she able to dress or undress herself?" "No." "Did you have to help her?" "Yes." "How long did these services con tinue?" r From 1K91 until she died in 1901." "You were away in '91 and '92 for a short time? "Yes." "What were the occasions?" "At one time my father was sick, and the other time my mother was sick. "Were you away any other time?' "Yes, in 1895." "When Mrs," Sells was married again?" "Yes." "Do you recognize these letters?" "Yes." "You received them from her while away?" "Yes." 1 "After Mr. Sells' death did you have more duties?" "Yes, I acted as secretary." "What did you do?" "I looked after her affairs and col lected her rents." "Do you rem ember when she married the second time?" "Yes." i "Did you know 3n advance she was to marry Mr. Greenspan?" Yes, but I didn't think she would. 'What was Mr. Greenspan's condi tion?" i 'He was disagreeable, and she called on me for assistance." "You were with her?" "Yes, until I went home." "Why did you go home?" "I thought I would be better away." "You did not agree with the mar riage? "No." "You came back?" "Yes, she wrote and telegraphed me to come back 'How did Greenspan treat you?" 'Very badly." 'I wish you would tell the jury about the condition of the household." "Mr. Greenspan became very violent. and I was afraid he would kill her. I staid up nights to watch him." "Did he ever assault you and Mrs. Sells?" "Yes." "'Where was this?" "In the Quincy street house." "Was she able to care for herself?" "No." "Why?" "Because she was so large and had rheumatism; she weighed 300 pounds." "Did she pay you for your services?" "Not for-the past six years." "How did you make your income?" "By sewing for other people and re ceiving money Irom w ill Sells. 'I suppose she gave you a dollar or so now and then? "Yes." "Did any of her sisters ever visit her?" "No." "You received no regular compensa tion except for the first two or three months?" No." 'What do you think your services worth a year?" "I think $1,500." RUSSIA RETALIATES. Will liaise Duty on Bicycles From the United States. New York, June 18. According to a Washington dispatch to the Journal of Commerce the recent "action of the Rus sian government in raising the duty on bicycles when imported from the United States Is likely to be the subject of friendly representations by the depart ment of state. The levy of the special duty seems to be a part of the policy of retaliation adopted by the Russian government because of the decision of the treasury department that a counter vailing duty was levied under the Dingley law upon Russian sugar. The action taken in regard to bicycles, how ever, is ascribed to the fact that Rus sian petroleum is subject to duty on entry Into the United States. The right of the Russian government to impose the maximum tariff when it is ijriposed upon imports from certain other countries will probably not be dis puted by the state department, but if the duty on bicycles is aimed at the United States alone it will properly be the subject of representation by Secre tary Hay against its continuance. 1AILR0A0 TO GAPE NOME.

Wife Murderer Is Committed Without Bail. William H. Klusmire, the accused wife murderer, was taken to Holton this morning by Sheriff Perkins of Jackson county, for Lis preliminary hearing.

The sheriff and Klusmire stopped in at the Chesterfield hotel after the train arrived and had their dinner there. The prospect is that Klusmire's trial will be a stiff legal battle.

It Is said that Klusmire has written letters to his children to' have them come down and see him, but they have not responded to the overtures.

A special to the Star from El Dorado, Kan., says: It is considered fhat the state's case against Jessie Morrison has been made stronger at this trial by the introduc tion as evidence of several slips of pa per upon which Mrs. Castle wrote as she lay on her dying bed. Her windpipe had been severed with the razor in Miss Morrison's hand and she could com municate with those about her by writ ing only. This writing of the dying wo man was introduced for two purposes, to show that she did not expect to live, and to corroborate her dying statement of her fight with Jessie Morrison. Miss Morrison was dressed carefully before she entered court this morning. She watched the proceedings calmly. An important witness this morning was Emma Wharton, daughter of the Meth odist minister who attended Mrs. Cas tle. She testified that after Mrs. Castle had read her dying statement she was asked whether or not it was true. "She nodded in the affirmative," said the witness, "and lifted her right hand as one taking an oath." Shot For Interfering;. Berkeley, Cal June 18. Dr. j. G.

WILL REQUIRE 30 DAYS Ouee Attempted to Swim From England to France. Was in the Water Fifteen Hours and Ten Minutes. Boston, June 18. On Sunday, June 30, Peter S. McNaily, of this city, clad only i.i a pair of small swimming- trunks, will dive off the enil of Charleston bt-iage into Boston harbor and start to swim to the Battery In New Tork. Weather permitting:, he will make Nan tasket Beach, about 17 miles, the first day. The shortest sailing distance between Boston and New York Is 282 nautical or about SiO land miles. McNally esti mates that he will actually cover some 400 miles, and he hopes to make the entire distance in 30 days. This swim, if successful, will be by all odds the most remarkable feat of its kind ever performed. There have been many swimming contests requir ing fine endurance, but nothing like a J days' trip was ever attempted by anyone. i McNally is the most remarkable swimmer In New England, if not in the country. He has made many long dis tance trips in the water and many seasons has spent from three to eight hours in the water every day for weeks at a time. Hise most notable performance was his attempt to swim from England to France in 1S97. Leaving- Dover at 11:20 a. m. on July 4, he swam to within three miles of Cape Grisrtez, being forcibly taken from the water at that point at 2:30 a. m., when his trainers concluded that the attempt was hope less, owing to an adverse tide. -He had been in the water 15 hours and 10 minutes, and had actually swam from 5T to 3S miles, considerably more than the distance across the channel. He was told afterward by a French fisherman ttmt at one time he was so close to the French coast he could have put his feet down and waded ashore. Some of his other notable swims were these: July, 1SS4, Bath to Pop ham Beach, Me., IS nautical miles. 3 hours 12 minutes; August, 18S5, Cres cent Beach to Nahant, Mass., 7 miles across the tide in cold and rough water, 3 hours 5.2 minutes; June, 1SS6, Caswell's wharf. Charlestown, to Cottage Farms and back. 12 miles. 6 hours 57 minutes; July, lfcS6, Meridian street bridge, Chel sea, to the end of Ocean Pier. South Boston, across Boston harbor. 8 miles. S hours 14 minutes: August. 1SS6. Cas well's wharf to Medford and return. 14 miles, 7 hours 12, minutes; July, 1SSW, Haverhill to the mouth of the Jlerri mac river, 15 miles, 6 hours; August, 1S86, Newport, K. I., to Nerragansetf Pier. 12 miles, 4 hours 57 minutes. The last named swim had never been made by any other man before Mc Nally tried it. He was warned not to attempt the journey as being almost certain death, but he did, and made a record that stands to this day. He has several times swam the piece of water between Deer Island in Boston harbor and the mainland, known as Shirley Out. This water Is so fierce that it is commonly said to be impossible for a man to cross from shore to shore and emerge alive. But more important than McNally's swimming records is his record as a lifesaver. In 186. for an investigated record of 47 rescues from drowning, he was awarded a silver medal by thx Massachusetts Humane society. In lil the Massachusetts Humane society awarded him another token of appre ciation, an enormous gold medal. REPTJSES BET OF $10,000. Bookmaker O'Leary Staggered fcy Enormous Offer on The Parader. Chicngol June IS. There -was some more lively betting Saturday night" and yesterday on the American Derby in the O'Leary book. Saturday night the manager of the book was called upon by a stock yards business man who told O'Leary he would like to bet $10,000 on The Parader at the prevailing price. O'Leary declined the ponderous offer, but said that while he would take a little more money on the favorite, he did not care to handle any such toet as that at this time. There was a heavy play on Bonnibert, the money apparently coming from New York but being placed by local agents. Bonnibert is now almost equal favorite at 3 to 1 with The Parader. NEW COACH EOS STAGCL Kalph Hamill to Succeed Kennedy as Chicago football Advisor. Chicatro. June 13. Plans for the foot ball season of the University of Chicago this fall call for a change in the coaching staff. Walter S. Kenneiiv, captain of the Maroons in 1S:8 and 19 and assistant coach last fall, will retire and RaM'h Hamill. the crack half back of the 19 champions, will take his place. Hamill proved quite a success as a coach last season at Center college, in Kentucky, and is expected to be a valuable assist ant in developing a stroni? offense, which ia expected to characterize the 11 Ma roons. Kennedy wli! retire from coaching tode vota hi emire time to business. it is only- lack of time, however, which com. veis him to trive ui trridiron wnrlc. for the great quarterback is as eager as ever xij Eei into me game again. He will probiiMy he seen at many of the big games in the capacitv of an official and when the season is at its height may be Induced to don a moleskin suit and give a practical demonstration of the game to ni2'3 vounrsters. Herschberger will remain another sea son to assist stagg. and with Hamill will neip oeveio) trie team next tall. The out lit for new material is said to be es pecially promising, and with an efficient coHcmng stait the .Maroons expect to ra p;m some of the laurels lost in the dis astrous season last year. STI5TS0N WINS MOTOR RACE. Defeats Nelson Before 15,000 People in SO mile Contest. Boston. June ,1$. Will Stinson won the 30 mile motor paced race at Charles River park Monday afternoon. Johnny Nelson was second and Jimmy Michael was two miles in the rear. Fully 15.000 people saw the race, and for a time it was thrilling. Nelson Rent so fast that his motor tandem simply slid from beneath his pace makers; they went down In a heap; he fell himself, losing precious seconds in changing to another wheel and, in picking up his second motor tandem. But then he almost won the race. Suiison, too. had bad luck just when he had the race apparently secure, his. motor tandem failing him, ana al most ,lost all he gained from Nelson, but he rode with comparative ease Into first money, which was worth nearly J2.00. Neteon made one new world s com petitive record by a fraction, that for two miles, in 3:13 2-5, and. one track record. that for seven i miles, in 10:47 3-5. From the time of Nelson's accident up to the twenty-fourth mile It was considered a foregone conclusion that Stinson would win. At that point Stin son's motor failed. Then Nelson got back all but half a lap of what he- had lost. Stinson went out and overhauled Nelson in time, and at the finish was half a mile ahead. All the other races were keenly fought. The summaries: 30 mile motor paced race Stinson won, 4S:50 4-5; Nelson second, 49:36; Michael, third. NEW YORK'S PITCHING STAR. Pitcher Matthewson Was Well Known as a Minor Leaguer. Boston. Mass., June IS. Christy Mat thewson.the wonderful pitcher of the New York club, is well remembered by de votees of base bail in New England. In lv.ta the circuit consisted of the Brockton, Newport. Portland, Manchester. Paw tucket and Taunton teams. Matthewson appeared with the Taunton club, which was not a top notcher. Had it been one of the leading clubs doubtless the climb of fame would have been more rapid for "Maltv" than was the case. No one who ever saw him in that re markable uniform, with it3 yellow and blue striped stockings, will ever forget, for "Mattv" wore his college costume in those (lavs. Uniformity was not insisted upon in the New .England league, where often a player put in an appearance in the morning and said "adoo at night. Matthewson was then as now a striking looking chap, tall and slim, with a phvsique remarkable for its beauty. He was a pitcher, but then pitchers were ex pected to plav all over the lot. His first game that vo'ar was on July 21. when he pitched against Manchester. He lost hts eame. 6 to 5, and nine hits wera made off his deliverv. His next attempt was against Burnha's Brocktons. and the score was 13 to 4 in favor of Brockton and sixteen hits were made off his delivery. Then came his only victory. July 27. when Pawtucket went down before him and made but five hits. July 30 he was again between the points and again against Pawtucket. but he was beaten 6 to 2 and twelve hits were recorded aerainst him. He made in this game all the hits he made In the league three for he was a very poor batsman at this time. August 1 he lost to Brockton. 8 to 2: August 4 to Man chester, 8 to 6. and August S to Newport, 13 to 11. That was his last game wich the New England. Manager John F. Smith, nicknamed 'Phenom." owing to his great success as a left hand pitcher, was quick to see the promise in Matthew son. for he signed him for Norfolk, where he won twenty-one games out of twenty three. Races at St. Louis. St. Louis, June 18. Monday's sport at the fair grounds was replete with in cidents, sensational and otherwise. Fa vorites were bowled over in every event, second choices and outsiders dividing the card. Randazzo defeated Fridolin by a nose in the second race, and Charles D. duplicated the feat with Terra Incognito in the third. Chappa qua was a top heavy favorite in the fourth, but Skillman defeated him handily. An angry crowd surrounded the judges' stand at the close of the fifth event, a three horse affair, claim ing that Propeller, who won the race, had been "shooed in." To many the race had a suspicious look, but Judge Brady thought otherwise. After the horses in the last race had crossed the winning line Clinton B. stumbbled and fell, rolling heavily on Jockey Earl. The incident created great excitement In the grand stand. Karl was not badly hurt. Track fast. Jockey L. Rose was suspended indefinitely for his ride on Huntress, the favorite in the first race. Owner Louis Thompson, and his entire stable of horses, and Jockey B. Hender son were ruled off the track owing to the sorry showing made by Irish Jewel, the favorite in the last race. i Haskell Indians to Tour.

McGraw has a clear case. Baltimore is In distress and needs Hugh Jennings far more than the Philadelphia Ameri can elub does. The American league left a big hole In the National league third base supply. The former took Collins, Bradley, Mc Graw. Williams and Cross. Moran of Boston is almost as active as Bowerman, who has the reputation of acting '"tackier" behind the bat than any catcher In the National league. With Rusie complaining of a sore arm and McKadden unable to control the ball the Reds are in a bad way for pitchers. Phillips. Hahn and Newton are compelled to do all the pitching. Alex Smith has done the best back stopping work for New York, while Bow erman has shown no great improvement. In fact Warner and Smith entirely out class Bowerman. Dr. Harley Parker has signed a contract to pitch for the Cincinnati club and will join the Reds on Monday. Parker pitched for Anson in li96, and did well, and he afterward pitched for Minneapolis. The players we got from Hart are playing the best-ban on-our team," com mented Preedman. "Strang is doing some grat stunts around third and Ganzel Is ail we could ask for a lieldlng first base man," L Whether Matthewson Is as speedy or speedier than Rusie" will always be a matter of upinton, but: Cy Young, when good, was about as swift as either of them. Meekin was in Rusie's class for speed, and "Si" Seymour could burn the air when on ede. It has been suggested that Manager McPhee sign Bert Cunninsham. the vet eran pitcher, who is now an umpire. Cun ningham's arm is as good as ever and he might prove a valuable man for the team if the pitching staff does not show im provement. Captain Casey of Detroit considers Plank one of the greatest left handed pitchers that ever drew salary for playing ball. '"He has wonderful control of the ball and is remarkably steady, and he has more speed than Piatt or any of the other left handers," Is the Tiger captain's opinion. Napoleon Lajoie still holds an easy lead over all competitors for first place as a sticker in the American league. Keister, of Baltimore, is his nearest competitor, and was once slightly In the lead. Pink Hawlev is the first western player in the list, with Beck of Cleveland second. Beck is tenth in, the list. sEUSi An Atchison Man Gives City Of ficials a Pointer.

"Wheeler and Mc C'lure, have the model of an airship at 5S0 Walnut street, in which they say they will make an ascension at Kansas City July 4. Like all airship inventors, they are very sanguine. "Our invention is like the tipper part of two balloons cut off," said one. "The two upper parts of the balloons are held by hollow steel shafts. These two shafts pull the balloons down and up. They are worked by motive power, which will be built as light as can be made to do the work, which will b! placed in a boat about like a sunfish with two half balloons at its mouth tj pull in forward in the air. and a rud der, or tail, to guid it. This one that we propose to raise on July 4 will be forty feet across and shafts ten feet long. This will require the sunfish boat to be fifteen feet deep through the mid dle and five feet wide. Have to have room inside to use our propeller." BEARDON CASE LP. Ex-Postmaster of Bonner Springs Charged With Blackmail. Kansas City, Kas., June IS. The case of the state against M. B.

I'.eardon was arrested some time ago by a deputy sheriff who had been in formed of an attempt supposed to have been made by him to extort $l,0'i0 from Frank Warner, a. banker at Bonner Springs. Warner was told by letter t'- deposit the money under the sidewalk at a designated point and was threat ened with violence if he failed to obey. Instead of complying Warner placed a sack of iron washers under the walk and caused the oflicer to lay in wait for the wouM-be blackmailer. Beardnn was arrested while in the act of taking the sack of supposed money from un der the sidewalk. TOUR FOR CA31ER0N. The Kansas Hermit Will Visit Tomb of John Adams. Lawrence, Kan., June IS. Gen. Hugh Cameron, the Kansas hermit, who lives in his camp on Cameron's bluff, several miles south of Lawrence, is preparing to take another pilgrimage to the east. This time his object is to "worship at the shrine of John Adams," and by his example to stimulate patriotism in the American people. He will go to Braintree, Mass., where he will visit the tomb of John Adams. either on the com ing Fourth of July or in the early part of October. The hermit believes that there is not enough patriotism among the people of today and hopes to awak en them to their condition by this strange act of a strange man. He will not, however, go on foot as has been his custom, but will invest in a respect able suit of clothes and travel by rail road. CHINESE 31 EST STAY OUT. Foreigners Not Kaady to Admit Na tive Soldiers to Fekin. Pekin, June IS. The foreign minis ters have declined to assent to the re quest to allow 3.0V0 Chinese soldiers to come toPekin now. They consider that it would be inadvisable to permit such a step to be taken before the latter part of August, by which time, the interna tional troops, with the exception of the legation guards will have left the city. The ministers also decline to permit international troops to guard the for bidden city until the Ciiinese soldiers shall arrive. UNDER ARSIED GUARDS.

Much Speculation Concerning Tate of the Roads There. SOME REPORTS FALSE. Mexican Central Not After Mexican- Yera Cruz. 'Frisco Thought to Be in Con trol of the International. Unusual interest is being shown just now in Mexican railroad properties, in financial circles of the United States. The recent published announcements which have gone unchallenged, that the Mexican Central road has passed into the control of capitalists interested in the St. Louis and San Francisco and that the Mexican National road is to become a riart of either the Southern Pacific or the Gould system, has been received by the business men of Mexico with the deepest interest. These report ed transactions have caused much spec ulation as to other probable changes involving other independent railroad lines of Mexico. It was reported recent ly that the Mexican Central interests were negotiating for the purchase of the Mexican-Vera Cruz road, which runs from the City of Mexico to the port of Vera Cruz. This is the pioneer rail road of Mexico and is an English prop erty. If such negotiations were pending it is evident that they have been sus pended or declared off. A full report of the proceedings of the meeting of the stockholders of the road held recently in London has just reached Mexico and in it is no record of such a deal having been mentioned at the meeting. It is also said that both the Mexican Central and the Mexican National in terests are seeking to acquire or obtain control of the lnteroceanic railroad. The latter line also runs from the City of Mexico to Vera Cruz and has some val uable feeders or branch lines. Next to the Mexican Central and the Mexican National the most extensive and im portant system of railway in Mexico is the Mexican International, which was owned and operated as a part of the Southern Pacific system up to the time of the death of President C. P.Hunting ton. It is said that it is no longer a part of the Southern Pacific since the reorganization of that company was ef fected, the Pacific Improvement com pany, which was formerly a part or branch of the Southern Pacific, having taken it over. The most interesting rumor that has been in circulation re cently concerning the Mexican Interna tional is that it has also been acquired by parties who have control of the af fairs of the St. Louis and San Francisco and that it will be used by the latter to form a through line between St. Louis, Memphis and Kansas City and the port of either Manzanillo or Mazat lan, on the Pacific coast of Mexico. The most important branch line of the Mex ican International is that which runs from Reata, in the state of Coahuila, to Monterey. HIS WRIST MANGLED. William Fuett of the Blacksmith Shop Loses a Hand. William Puett, who runs the bis shears in the blacksmith shop, had his right wrist caught in that machine Monday afternoon and so badly man gled that amputation was necessary. No one seems to have seen the accident but it is thought that Puett in reaching after a piece of iron stumbled and in trying to catch himself threw one hand party between the closing jaws of the machine. The first anyone knew of the accident was when Puett straightened up holding the mangled wrist in the lef c band. He was taken to the hospital where an operation was performed, and is now thought to be getting along nice ly. The shears. In which Puett's ihand was caught is one of the most ponder ous in the blacksmith shop. It is used lor breaking up iron and while feeding iron into it, the accident as described above happened. Puett began work for the Santa Fe only apout a week ago, coming to this place not long ago from Manhattan. He lives out near the Shorey postoffice and has a wife and one child. Chicago-Milwaukee Electric Line. Chicago, June 18. From Chicago to Milwaukee in two hours and thirty minutes by electric railroad will be a possibility by January 1, 190a, according to plans of the new Chicago, Kenosha Milwaukee Electrical Railway com pany. When the electric system is ful ly developed it will be possible for a passenger to take a car at any union loop station of the Northwestern Ele vated railroad in Chicago and be in Milwaukee two hours and thirty min utes later. To Get Control of TJ. P. Chicago, June IS. President Earling, of the Chicago, Milwaukee St. Paul road left for New York Monday night, presumably on business in connection with the alleged acquirement of the road by the Union Pacific interests. Be fore leaving he refused to talk regard ing his mission, but stated that he knew nothing of any plan whereby the company was to change ownership or control. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE.

Harry Tillotson of the south machine shop, who quit the middle of the after noon Saturday, is still off and is re ported sick. John Shuller. a machinist helper, has gone to St. Marys to attend the bedside of a sick brother. Most of the men who went to St. Paul. Minn., with the M. W. A. teams have returned to their places In the shops. Archie Baughman, who was a member of 2S00 team returned to work in the brass foundry this morning. Somehow, while walking along the street he struck one ankle against the curbstone bruising it so badly that it caused him much pain. Most of tne men came home almost voiceless as a result of the continued cheering which they did on the return trip. George Chase of the machine shop is laying off tor a few days, visiting his parents in Holton. Thomas Darlow of the south machine shop, who has been off a week caring for a bruised foot, is at work again. Shop men have enjoyed more than anyone could guess the pleasant bun days of this year. A great many of the men who work in the heat and smoke all week find it refreshing and restful to take their families to the woods for a picnic lunch, or to drive to the home of some farmer, a relative or friend, and there spend the day. It is a diver sion that is most helpful to people who cannot afford a long vacation, and who have but little opportunity for such ex cept for a few weeks a year. Oscar Dugan of the tin shop was off duty Monday. Mrs. Dugan has been in poor health lately and this is supposed to be one of the reasons for his ao sence. 3. W. Gibbons, who has lived in North Topeka for a long time, but who for merly claimed residence on this side of the Kaw, has purchased and is now occupying a home at 406 Madison street. Charles Klein, foreman of the Santa Fe tin shop at Raton. N. M., is visiting relatives in Topeka. Mrs. Klein has been visiting here for some time, and will probably return Gome witn ner nus band in a week or so. Frank O'Brien, an apprentice in the boiler shop, has returned to work after an absence of three days. Frank Owens of the drill press gang Is on duty again after having been out three or four days. A number of night men in the boiler shop have been transferred to day work.. Edward Crum has been given his ap prenticeship papers and is now a full- nedKed boilermaker. John Alexander of the boiler shop is at work again after an absence of a week. John Emery, who has worked in the boiler shop here tor a long time, inter mittently, has auit and it is thought will go to farming. Emery worked on a farm before coming to tne snops. The many friends of Boilermaker Charles Striekrott will be pleased to know that his wife, who has been in Christ hospital for three weeks, is re covering her health. Mrs. Striekrott has been ill a great deal, and it will be gratifying to many to know tnat sne is better. The members of the male chorus held their regular practice at the railroad X. M. C. A. last night. David McMillan of the boiler shop re ceived a slight cut over the right eye Monday while at work. The wound was not so serious as to cause his absence from the shoo. Preparations are being made for the erection of a combination depot and hotel at Raton, N. M. The new building will be 135 feet long and two stories high. Frank Clossen of Lincoln, Neb., and brother of G. W. Clossen. ice and fuel contractor for the Santa Fe at To peka has taken the position of foreman of the ice house at Las Vegas, N. M. Machinists of the Santa Fe at Albuquerque are preparing for a big picnic to be held near that city on the Fourth of July. The new Colorado limited of the Mis souri Pacific recently made a record of 28 miles per hour between Pueblo and Kansas City, after the train had been held four hours for western connections. Noyes Huber have been appointed watch inspectors for the G. C. S. F. at Paris Tex. It is estimated that 4,000 trackmen and bridgemen of the Canadian Pacific are out on a strike. The Rock Island is experiencing some trouble in holding its section and con struction gangs together, because of the high prices which the men are able to obtain in the harvest fields of the southwest. A great many men have been shipped southwest from Kansas City by that road, lately, but before the destination was reached most of them had decided that $2 per day was better than $1.50. and so left the railroad to work in the wheat harvest. It Is pro bable that if the Rock Island wishes to continue its construction work it will have to advance the wages of its men to an equality with that which tne farmers are offering. Superintendent McLellan and Master Mechanic Player went over the eastern division Monday on a boiler inspection tour. The Rock Island will probably give one fare rates for the round trip to all points in Kansas, on July 4. Charles Bradley of the Rock Island engineer's office has returned from Mingo, I. T. Secretary T. E. Prout, of the railroad T. M. C. A., is expected to return bot urday from Boston where he has been attending the jubilee convention of the Y. M. C A. In a competitive exhibit participated in by all the associations of the country the Topeka railroad as sociation received second prizes in the following lines of work: Bible study, religious work and mechanical arawing. Considering the fact that all the associ ations of the country were at liberty to enter this contest, it is a matter of gratification that the Topeka railroad Y. M. C. A. has made such a good showing. The Rock Island has inaugurated its new western train service between Chi cago and Denver. The troubles between Emporia and the Orient are still on. The Santa Fe. which has begun building new tracks across the right of way o- e Orient, seems to have a temporary advantage, but the Stilwell people declare they will go through the disputed territory. CRAIG Y N0SAT AUCTION. Patti Offering Her Castle to the High est Bidder. London, June 18. Craig y Nos castle, the residence in Wales of Adelina Patti (Baroness Rolf Cederstrom), was put up at auction his afternoon at the mart in this city. Madame Patti's reasons for disposing of one of the most beautiful country seats in the United Kingdom are said by her agents to be twofold. In the first place, she desires to spend a good part of each year in Sweden with her hus band's relatives, and, in the second place, she finds that the Welch climate does not thoroughly agree with her. Her life in the future will be spent in the country of her husband's birth. 1 REVOLUTIONARY SONS. Information About Sons and Daugb ters of American Revolution. To the Editor of the State Journal: The following letter from a leading citizen of one of the largest Kansas cities has been forwarded to me by the person to whom it was addressed: May 25. 1901. To the Secretary of the Sons of the American Revolution, San Francisco, cal. Dear Sir: My attention is called to your organization by President McKln ley's speech on the 24th inst. My grand father was a soldier of the revolution. I would like information regarding the organization and if I am eligible would like to become a member. Will you kindly send me any printed matter you nave regarding same. Very Respectfully, The writer of the above is a notary public, a real estate and insurance agent, and a late captain of cavalry, and therefore presumed to be a man of more than average general informa tion. Yet he seems not to have known that a Kansas society of the Sons of the American Revolution has been in ex istence for nearly ten years. It is therefore further presumed that there may be many more such in the state who may want the information asked by the writer of the above. It may be recalled that President McKinley paid a nign tribute to the Sons of the Amer ican Revolution in his address to the California society. The president is him self a member.

The culmination of the transaction Is regarded with great satisfaction by John W. Gates and his assistants, who have been largely instrumental in the deal. MORMONS FOR MEXICO. They Would Like to Colonize the Yaqui Lands. Mexico City, June 18. A Mormon agent, James Cannon, is here for the purpose of securing from the govern ment a concession for settling a thou sand Mormons in Sonora on the hands from which Yaqui Indians have been driven. Mr. Cannon says: "We believe that if suitable tracts of lands are placed at our disposal In the Yaqui country we will do much in this country in the interest of peace, for the Mormon church has faced the Indian problem almost since its organization. "We require no rifles in our man agement of the red brother, and are al ways instilling into his mind that we are his friends and not his foes. If the concession is obtained a commissioner will be sent at once into the Yaqui ter ritory by the Mormon church for the purpose of ascertaining the attitude of the Indians, and if peaceful a contract will be made and lands purchased from the Yaquis." Largest Coal Deal Ever Made. Fairmont, W. Va,, June 18. The larg est coal deal ever consummated in this state was closed today, the Watson coal operators having practically se cured control of the entire Fairmont region. A new company with $12,000,000 capital has been organized, known as the Fairmont Coal company. The Wat sons have associated with them sev eral New York capitalists, but they will retain the controlling interest.

He knows that this paper aims to adver tise only the best in its columns, and when he saw Chamberlain's Pain Balm advertised therein for lame back, he did not hesitate in buying a bottle of it for his wife, who for eight weeks had suf fered with the most terrible pains in her back and could get no relief. He says: "After using the Pain Balm for a few days my wife said to me: 'I feel as though born anew,' and before using the entire contents of the bottle the unbear able pains had entirely vanished and she could again take up ner nousenoia du ties." He is very thankful and hopes that all suffering likewise will hear of her won derful recovery. This valuable liniment is for sale by all druggists. Saves Two From Death.

S-SH THE MVBJ1E OF BIG FOU S. It. Peters ISgan His Congres sional Career With Morrill. Elected at Large, Then From Serenth District. TRIED FOR GOVERNOR. He Never Came Near the Nomi nation, However. Like McKinley, He Is a Native of Ohio. Samuel R. Peters began his official career in 1S75 J judge of the Ninth ju dicial district. He had been elected to the state senate in 1874, and was serv ing his term in that capacity when a vacancy occurred on the bench and he resigned to take the appointment. He was then elected judge in the fall of that year, and was given another term two years later. He was living at Ma rion during this period. When the State Bar association was organized Peters was its first secretary. In 1878 Peters aspired to become a congress man, but was defeated by Tom Ryan for the nomination. In 1882, however, four congressmen-at-Iarge were as signed to Kansas and Peters was one of the "big four" chosen. The other three were E. N. Morrill, afterward governor, B. "W. Perkins and Lewis Hanback. In 18S4 he was re-elected by the Seventh district, the state then hav ing been reapportioned. For two suc cessive terms he was also re-elected, but. in, 1890 he declined a renomination, stating: that he could not afford to stay in congress by reason of the meager salary. Peters was a commissioner of the Hutchinson reformatory under Gov ernor Morrill. He was a candidate for governor in 1S96 against Morrill, but the la.tter was given his chance for a second term only to lose to Leedy. He was appointed postmaster at Newton in 1897, the intervals of un official life being occupied in the prac tice of law and editing pf the Repub lican. Samuel R. Peters was born in WTa.l nut township, Pickaway county, Ohio, August 16, 1S42. His childhood was spent on a farm. He entered the Ohio Wesleyan university in the fall of 1859. He left school in October, 1801, and en listed as a private in company E, Seventy-third Ohio. For conspicuous gallantry at Gettysburg in taking charge of his company when superior officers were gone Peters was elevated from sergeant to lieutenant. The pro motion did not come along, however, until after he had been with Grant at Chattanooga, in the charge with his regiment that opened up the "cracker line." He went through the Atlanta campaign, was wounded at Resaca, ami. went with Sherman to the sea, after which he .was promoted to cap tain in 1S65. Captain Peters went back to school at once after being mustered out. He went to Delaware again for a brief time, and then went into the law school at Michigan state university. He was graduated from there March 27, 1SC7, and-began practice at once at Memphis, Mo. On August. 186S. he bought the Memphis Reveille, which paper he edited until January. 1873. when on account of failing health he removed to Kansas, where he began the practice of law at Marion. REORGANIZE A ROAD. C. X and M. Railway's Affairs Get Into Court. New Tork. June 18. The Tribune says: Justice Wilmot M. smith or tne supreme court heard in White Plains, N. Y., arguments of counsel on the question of giving security in the case of reorganization of the Cincinnati, Jackson Mackinaw railway. He finally reserved decision. The etyle of the suit is Reiss against Olcott et al., and the question at issue is whether the Central Trust company of the Guaranty Trust company shall furnish a bond for the plaintiff, who is a stockholder, to secure mm againsc any disposition of the trust securities whion were agreed to be issued under the plan of reorganization. Neither trust company was willing to give the bond for $400,000 to guarantee the new securities and the suggestion was made to require Twombley Co.. the purchasers and present holders of the new stock, to deposit a sufficient amount of the issue to secure th plaintiff stockholders. This was not agreeable to the purchaser, nor was the offer of the plaintiff to accept the bond of H. McK. Twombley, of that firm. Denver, Colorado Springs and Pueblo.

The Cause of Many Sudden Deaths. There is a disease prevailir.? In this country most dangerous because so decep- tive. Many sudden deaths are caused bv ."E it heart disease. .tinwimnria. h.3i-t 1 failure or apor.'exy i are often the result of kidney disease. If kidney trouble is al lowed to advance ths Ji kidney-poisoned blood will atiacF. the h,ai.ut vnai organs or tno kidneys themselves break down and W3s!a away cell by cell.

Between divine healers and ward heelers Chicago Is having- a rocky time. Who will prod the sultan of Turkey now since Mr. Lloyd Griscom has been made minister to Persia? The Cubans may be granted inde I endence but they will continue to do about as Uncle Sam directs. Congress will now be asked to do what the supreme court failed to do relieve Porto Rico of the tariff duties. Pension Commissioner Evans has "had a stormy time of it but he has man aged to retain his grip on the office about the alloted time. Wanamaker was too slow with his offer of $2.5o0,000 for city franchises. The mayor and council hadn't time to figure it into their own pockets. The serpent which crept into the par adise established by the National Cash Register company at Dayton, O., seems bent on making a long stay. Kditor Hoch didn't refuse the Mar ion postoftice on account of Sunday work. He had promised to help a friend secure the place and kept his word. Chicago News: Corn King Phillips is not the first to discover that the far mers could get rich by combining: to hold their crops, but none of the previous discoverers was able to work the thing out to a finish. There is one thing w hich England just won t surrender in connection with the Chinese business and that is the oppor tunity of selling opium to the Celes tials. China would like to raise revenue to meet the indemnity by placing a higher duty on the drug but Britain will not permit it. Boston Journal: A New York life in surance company is now issuing policies to women on exactly the same terms as are offered to men, but the scheme will not be a thorough success until it is possible for a woman to go down town on Monday morning and take her choice of a lot of policies, marked down from $30 to $29.98, in order to make room for new stock. Supply of notable murder trials seems inexhaustible. From one to a half a dozen are in progress in various parts of the country all the time. The end of the Kennedy case in New Tork City is promptly followed by the reopening of the Molineux case at Buffalo. The west in general and Kansas in partic ular is doing its share toward furnish ing the public with hot weather reading. The receipts of spring and winter wheat at the eight markets of Minne apolis. Milwaukee. Duluth, Chicago, Kansas City, St. Louis, Detroit and Toledo for the harvest year to April SOth were 10.S40.722 bushels more- than a year ago. a gain of approximately 6 per cent. The movements at the Atlantic seaboard include grain and flour reduced to bushels. During April, 1901, Boston received 4.092,892 bushels; New York. 9.655,919 bushels; Phila delphia, 4,931.597 bushels, and Baltimore, .313.254 bushels, making a total of 24, 99:1.6(32 bushels for those four principal ports. An event of sufficient importance to be noted in its bearing upon the in ternal commerce of the country is the shipment of a carload of Valencia oranges from Southern California to Portland. Ore., destined for Vladivostok, Siberia. This is the first fruit shipment of the kind, and illustrates the tendency in this branch of production to relieve itself from the necessity of depending solely on the domestic and European markets. The failure of California orange growers to find a sufficient sup ply of cars to enable them to put their fruit on the eastern market anil the high rates of ocean freight from the Atlantic seaboard to Europe have con spired to force the growers either to work up the product at home or to find new markets in the far east. Another experimental feature in the distribution of the citrus fruit crop of California is the shipment eastward by way of coastwise steamers from Redondo to Seattle, thence over the Great Northern railroad to points as far east as Chi cago. Several train loads have been Marketed over this route. TRADE WITH! SPAIN. Commercial relations between Spain and the United States seem to have been fully restored, and it is not im probable that our exports to that coun try in the fiscal year will be great er, with possibly a single exception, than in any preceding year. Exports from the United States to Spain in the nine months ending with March, 1901, were valued at $11,879,349, against $10,- 0S1.920 in the corresponding months of last year and $7,091,043 in the corres ponding period of the fiscal year 1899. The figures for the year up to this time indicate that the total exports from the United States to Spain in the fiscal year 1901 will be about $16,000,000, while in 1891 the exports to Spain were $14,619, 335, in 1SS0 $14,657,884, and in 1883, the one year in w hich the 15 million dollar line was exceeded, $16,931,287. On the import side the figures of the present fiscal year are largely in excess of those of 1899. though slightly less than those of 1900, which were the larg est since 1891. The annual imports from Spain into the United States since 1S91 have ranged from 3V4 to 6 million dol lars, averaging about 4 million dol lars, while for the present fiscal year they seem likely to exceed $5,000,000. In the fiscal year 1899, which felt the full effect of the war between the two coun tries, the exports from the United States to Spain were $9,077,807; in 1900, they rose to $13,399,680, and in the pres ent fiscal year will closely approximate $16,000,000. Breadstuffs, cotton, oils, and wood manufactures are the principal artic les which we export to Spain, raw cot ton being by far the largest in volume. Fruits, nuts and wines are at present the principal articles imported from Spain, though in earlier years iron ore formed an important item of our impor tations from Spain. Importations ot Iron ore from Spain have also increased in the year 1900 as "with years immedi ately preceding, amounting In 1900 to $645,279 against $44,648 in 1899 and $302, 327 in 1896. Going back to 1890 and 1891, however, our importations of iron ore from Spain amounted to nearly $1,000, 000 per annum. Almonds, oranges, and raisins are the principal fruits imported into the United States from Spain, the: almond importations averaging about $500,000 annually and those of raisins from $"00,000 to $1,000,000 per annum. Raw cotton is the largest single item in our exports to Spain. The expecta tions of cotton from this country to Spain have increased from 87,669,782 pounds in 1890 to 123,306,186 pounds In 1900. This particular feature of our ex port trade with Spain was not mater ially affected by the war, our exports of that article to Spain in the fiscal years 1S98 and 1S99 having exceeded in quantity the figures of any other years during the decade. The number o pounds of cotton exported to Spain from the United States in 1900 is but slightly below that of 1899, while the increased price per pound brings its value to a higher figure than that of any other year since 1891. Our total exports to Spain In 1900 were valued at $13,399,680, and of this amount $9.613,930 more than two-thirds of the total represented the value of cotton. The next important class of our exports to Spain is wood and man ufactures of wood. Following wood in importance is the class designated breadstuffs, the total for 1S99 being $518,088, as against $1,941,206 in 1893. Our exports of this class of merchandise to Spain has fluctuated considerably from year to year, being governed largely by crop conditions in Spain. CORN PRICES AND STOCK SHIPMENT. In western territory live stock and cereals are leading factors of domestic trade movements. The live stock re ceipts at the five principal markets of Chicago, Kansas City, Omaha, St. Louis and St. Joseph during 1901 show re markable gains over last year, both as regards April and the four months end ing with April, the official receipts of cattle, hogs, and sheep in the four months just ended showing an increase of 359,417 head as compared with the corresponding four months of 1900. The rise in the price of corn is point ed out as being largely responsible for this increased movement of live stock to market, it having become more pro fitable to sell corn at 25 per cent above last year's price than to keep the stock on such high priced feed. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.l So many troubles are not imaginary. An Atchison woman whose Christian name Is "Dot" weighs 195 pounds. Everyone admires a husband and wife who are in love with each other. Ever notice how long some men stand at the same street corner and "talk"? "Dog on it," a boy says, when in vited to a party, "I hate to be Intro duced." It is only a question of time, and every one's best friend is complaining about him to another. If a man looks all right as an angel with nothing on but a thin bath robe, why wouldn't he look all right in the same sitting on his back porch at home? When a woman meets another wo man down town, she always screams out in an excited way: "Well, what on earth are you doing down town?" Don't be a poor workman; be a good one, and you will soon be advanced to foreman, and finally to superintendent. You can't afford to be a slouch. The young men are lately showing a fondness for heiresses: the old idea of marrying a poor Kir! for love, and getting a lot of poor kin in the bar gain, is playing out. An Atchison young man called on his steady last night, and after holding her hand awhile, said: "Mary, after we are married. I won't do like Anton Ostertag; I won't cheat you at casino." "I'm no man," Judge Casey said to day; "I can't quit smoking." Boys who are learning to smoke should re member that a time will come when they will try to quit, and And them selves unequal to the task. It is always customary for the family to sit on the back porch when the daugher has a beau, but an Atchison girl has such a Good Thing calling on her, that the famiiy leave the premises, and go and sit in a vacant lot across the alley. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The lineman who wins promotion is a post graduate. The early worm doesn't wait for the late bird- Money makes the man, but man has to make the money first. Silence may be golden, but when gold is coined money talks. 'I don't see why I should have to pay extra for bringing a few things from Europe, grumbled the passenger. Oh it's a matter of duty," suavely returned the customs official. "There's one thing dogs never do, no matter how savage they are," remarked the Simple Mug. ".What's that? que ried the Wise Guy. "Bite holes in their own pants," chuckled the Simple Mug. The summer girl is with us. And we'll see a great deal of her, Because her scanty bathing dress Will not afford much cover. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press.l Love is no respecter of prisons. Marriage isn't near so much a burden to some men as it ought to be. He i3 an innocent man with women who doesn't know enough to seem so. The easiest way not to fall in love is to watch how easy other people do It. A pessimist is a man who believes that men are worse than women; an optimist is a man who believes that women are better than men. JAYHAWKER JOTa Billy Sells admits that his biggest item of expense is the elephant. A Galena woman has a badly swol len foot from the bite of an insect that pierced her heel through the shoe leath er. A Pratt county man has four well domesticated bull snakes on his place which he says puts cats to shame aM rat catchers. Mrs. Lease will try to break into Gotham politics. How "Our own" Mary Ellen will enthuse the Bowery and ten derloin districts. It costs ten cents now for a person to get into the Kansas penitentiary unless you are accompanied by a sheriff, notes the Wichita Eagle. Notwithstanding the $17,000 sent out of Liberal to Klondike, one citizen had either enough money or credit left to purchase an up-to-date shirt waist. These humid June days recall Bag Bag weather so strongly that Col. E. C. Little has dug up his Philippine suit of white to wear among the cane brakes of his farm. Such imaginative whisky is sold at Clyde that a stranger after a horn or two thought he was Steve Brodie and leaped head first from the top of a box car to a ditch below. It is now charged that Arctic Ex plorer Baldwin took a few poles from his father's Labette county woodpile to plant in the circle in case he fails to find "the real thing." A Coats man who was bowled over unconscious for an hour by a stroke of lightning, thought he was in paradise as he saw beautiful sights and heard enchanting music. The cement factory at Mulvane has closed on account of the deposite be ing worked out. This is the first time Kansas has ever admitted that she had too little of a good thing. Marks and Legree got into a fierce quarrel over Little Eva and as a re sult the members of an "Uncle Tom's" aggregation are walking out of Jewell county to their respective homes. BURGLAR AT BAY. Farmers Hare Him Surrounded in a Wood. Chillicothe, O., June 18. A posse of farmers have surrounded a strip of woodland near here and the sheriff has been sent for to assist in the cap ture of a desperate burglar who oper ated here last night on a wholesale scale. Beginning with a holdup on the street, the desperado entered three residences, the last being James Car roll's, where he attempted to assault one of Mr. Carroll's daughters. From there the burglar went to Kitnickitnick six miles north, where he entered the house of John Moss and attempted to assault Mrs. Moss, who was alone. She fought him off and aroused the neigh bors. The robber fled and pursuit was taken up by a posse, who tracked the fellow to a piece of woods where they now have him surrounded. The farm ers are armed with guns of all descrip tions and are waiting for Sheriff De vine to arrive from this city. There is great excitement, and it is probable a lynching will follow if he is captured. MILLERS AIIE HERE. They Are Discussing Kansas Freight Rates. The members of the Kansas Millers' association are in session here today at the Throop hotel. Besides the transac tion of routine business the members are wrestling with the freight rate pro blem. Pool Selling Injunction Sticks. Chicago, June 18. The Harlem race track people applied to Judge Stein in the superior court today to dissolve the injunction issued yesteday by Judge Holdom, preventing pool selling and book-making at the Harlem. The ap plication was based on a technical er ror in the injunction. The presence of the error was admitted and on motion of the anti-gambling people the docu ment was corrected. Judge Stein set the application down for argument on merit for next Monday, but refused to act today. 108 and Works on a Farm Daily. Rome. Ga June IS.

Unable to Tell What Was the Trouble. WOMAN IN THE CASE She is Found Dazed ia Buggy Near Cemetery. Effort Made to Keep the Affair Quiet. Ransome Pigg and Chas. Humbert are lying at Christ hospital under the care of physicians on account of a mys terious escapade Sunday night which has been kept quiet. Sunday evening Pigg and Humbert went to Lawless' livery stable on Quin cy street, between Fifth street and Sixth avenue and each engaged a bug gy. At midnight they did not return and William Douglass was sent to find them. At 4 o'clock in the morning the buggy which Pigg had engaged was found by a farmer with a woman in it near the cemetery east of town. The horse and buggy were tangled up witii a hedge. The woman and the horse and buggy were brought to town. The wo man was in a dazed condition. At 5:30 a. m. Pigg was found near Twelfth and Clay-streets. His forehead was crushed over the right eye and the eve was protruding. His skull was cut on the right side. He was dazed and did not know where he was or what had hap pened. About 3 o'clock Humbert drove into Lawless' stable. When the night foreman demanded extra pay for the buggy being out so late, Humbert drew a revolver and refused to pay. As a result of the trouble with the night foreman Humbert was taken to the hospital. SEWING MACHINE FACTORY. Proposition Made to Establish One in Topeka. Secretary Anderson of the Commer cial club is In receipt of a letter from one of the local sewing machine dealers with a proposition that the Commercial club back a project to establish a sew ing machine plant in Topeka. "I find in my experience," says the dealer, "that people are anxious to buy at what they think are factory prices. Hence the growing tendency to send out of town for machines. In this way there are thousands of dollars sent out of the state yearly which could be kept in the state if a factory were established. "It would be surprising were the public to know how many people are caught by the advertisements in east ern papers of sewing machines, cheap, because they are sold direct from the manufactory to the buyer. There is of course," said a local dealer, "a great deal of reason in the proposition. For that reason I believe a factory in Topeka could be made to pay, and pay hand somely. "This business which goes to the east could thereby be sidetracked and kept here at home. A pretty good machine can be manufactured and sold for about $16. There are concerns which ad vertise a machine at a much lower rate but they are totally inferior. But for $16 a machine may be manufactured and sold that will come up to the re quirements of the average user." The proposition is looked upon with. favor by all those to whom the matter has been presented and a special meet ing of the club will be called soon to investigate the matter. STEAMERS LONG RACE.

One hundred and fifty former United States soldiers, a majority of them be ing capable employes of the civil de partments, have protested to General Mac-Arthur against the alleged arbi trary exercise of discretionary author ity on the part of the civil service board. The law gives the board dis cretion to make a rule requiring the ex amination of old employes, and the board has not announced whether it will or will not require these examina tions. All the petitioners agree to re sign rather than submit to examina tions, and will accept private employ ment unless the matter is settled quickly. The mebers of the board say that since no action has been taken there Is no grievance. General MacArthur has requested the board to transmit to him a rule covering the point for promulga tion according to law. The members of the civil board say they have taken no action on the question involved, but have notified Lieutenant Colojael Crowder, the mili tary governor's secretary, to send his clerks for examination. Colonel Crow der, in reply, asked for the certification of the rule under which the examina tion was required. Colonel Crowder says it would be inconvenient to spare the men and that the requirement is un duly stringent at the present juncture. The correspondent of the Associated Press asked General MacArthur what the attitude of the United States gov ernment would be. He replied that officially he was not aware a remon strance had been made. The board was authorized to determine the question, but, on general principles, if the men threaten to resign rather than stand a reasonable examination, which was not competitive, he was in favor of letting them resign.

A fine assortment of booze, beer.glass es, joint paraphernalia was introduced as evidence in this case. The bar. kegs and other stuff were left outside for want of room, but Chief Stahl assured the court that all the furnishings were out in the yard except the pump, which mysteriously escaped during the excite ment of the raid. Mr. Lytle objected to the appellation of "Sheep," so the court kindly request ed the witnesses to mention him as "W. P." The evidence against Simmons, Kyle and Lytle was furnished by Calker and Braine, spotters in the employ of Chief Stahl. Each carried a- memorandum of the many beers he had imbibed in the cause of justice, which they referred to frequently while on the witness stand. "Well, I was working and met Calker just before dinner, and I says, 'You've got money enough to set 'em up. aint you?' and he says This interest ing testimony by Mr. Braine was side tracked by Judge Lindsay, who sug gested that it was superfluous, and the public may never know just what Mr. Calker "says." The case was continued at this stage of the proceeding and the court took his dignity and left the court room. BEYERIDUE SEES TOLSTOI. Russian Philosopher and American Statesman Exchange Ideas.

"The Brixton Burglary" will be continued all summer, according to the announcement of the management. Kthel Barrymore Kill appear in "Cap tain Jinks of the Horse .Marines" for the hundred and eighty-fifth time at the Garrick theater tomorrow evening. The seventh week of "The King's Car nival" at the New York theater finds it playing to crowded houses and time has seasoned the production, as it is now better than when first put on. Norma Whalley will take Nina Far rington's part tomorrow night, as Mis3 Parrington has been slightly ill. Dan MoAvoy, with the Fifth avenue girls, is still a feature of the play. "On the Quiet" with William Collier, will close its season at the Madison Square theater next Saturday.

Francis Wilson will appear June 24 at the Knickerbocker theater. He will produce the new musical comedy "The Strollers, "under the direction of George W. Lederer. "The Strollers" is an adaptation from the German of L. Krera and C. Lindau, two librettists best known here as the authors of "The Circus Girl." The production is said to offer Mr. Wilson expansive oppor tunity for his broad character comedy unrestrained by his usual comic opera limitations. The droll story is rich in natural situations of a genuinely mirthful kind that, despite their hu mor, nexer tax consistency. Benjamin Howard signed a contract last week with I-iebler Co. to take the part of Don John of Austria in sup port of Viola Allen in next year's pro duction of "In the Palace of the King."

Heavy Expenses Likely to Prevent Second Trial of Her Case, San Francisco. June 18. It looks as though Mrs. Cordelia Botkin, who mur dered Mrs. Dunning and Mrs. Deane, of Dover, Del., might escape punishment because of exorbitant fees demanded bv Delaware medical experts for their attendance at the woman's second trial. Mrs. Botkin's case will come up next Tuesday, and it was expected all for mer witnesses would attend as all were friends of the murdered women and warmly interested in the punishment of the woman who committed this crime. But letters have been received by the district attorney showing that Dr. Wolf, state chemist of Delaware, wants $1,000 for his fee and $3 a day and ex penses, and Drs. Downs and Bishop demand $25 a day and all expenses. These, with the expenses of hair a dozen other witnesses, will be so heavy that Judge Cook has refused to permit them to be called. Unless the experts reduce their bills or the state of Dela ware will share this expense Mrs. Bot kin will go free. MAY ENFORCE BLUE LAWS. Liberal League of Kansas City May Retaliate on Temperance Element. Kansas City. Mo., June 18. For sev eral weeks past Kansas City saloons have not been allowed to be open on Sunday. The saloon-keepers are fight ing the closing law hard and many ar rests have been made, but the trials were farces. "The order about the arrest of saloon keepers for keeping open on Sunday has not been changed," said Chief Hayes this afternoon. "It stands the same as last week, but I see no use of making arrests when only soft drinks are sold." If the effort of the Law and Ordinance Enforcement league is successful and saloons are absolutely closed on Sunday by law, then the Liberal league will be gin a campaign of retaliation by at tempting to have all the Sunday laws enforced, no matter how obnoxious they may be.

Do Not Replace Paring In Good Condition. DANGEROUS HOLES. Gives Contractor Instructions to Fix Them Up. Sajs He liar Heard a Great Deal of Complaint. Mayor Hughes this morning made a trip of inspection through the streets and alleys which have been and are now being excavated for the new steam pipes for the Edison Electric Illuminating and Heating company. He found a. number of places for complaint. Fur man Baker is the contractor who has the work in charge. They first went up the alley in the rear of the State Journal office. Mr. Hughes gave some directions relative to the manner in which the piping should be placed over the city sewera, which are crossed in several places in this alley. Proceeding up the alley, the mayor stopped to investigate the stone pav ing which was being replaced in the alley in the rear of the Kieth block. The cracks between the stones in places admitted of the insertion of two and three fingers. "This will not do." said the mayor. Mr. Baker protested that the pave ment was being replaced good enough. "It will take an awful long time to sort out the stone and get the ones to fit nicely, he said. And the company is pushing me to get the work completed that I have not had the time to let the men waste it on sorting out these stones." "Well, the excuse that the company Is pushing you to finish the work," said Mayor Hughes, "can be no excuse for leaving our streets in this condition. I am under the impression that the ordi nance required the cracks between the rows of stone to be only from one-quarter to one-half inch in width." Mayor Hughes got a broom and swept the sand and dirt from the pavement in another part of the alley and showed Mr. Baker the difference in the size of the cracks in the old pavement and the part being relaid by his men. "We can't allow work of this kind to go." said Mr. Hughes. "The city has already had two damage cases to set tle caused by negligent work in exca vating in the streets and alleys. Passing out of the alley and turning west on Ninth street the mayor found that the section of the asphalt paving which had been relaid had settled and was lower than the surrounding pave ment. At one place between the alley and Kansas avenue he found a place where in making the excavation a part of the side had crumbled in and in filling up the hole, the dirt had not been packed away under the asphalt. A corner had already been broken off where it ap peared that a wagon had been driven over it. "What excuse have you for this kind of work?" asked Mr. Hughes as he pull ed the broken piece away and reached his hand under the pavement and waved it around in the vacant hole. Crossing Kansas avenue, a place about nine inches wide was found where the section of asphalt replaced was too short for the hole it had to fill. It left a little hole a few inches deep. "Here is a very bad place," said Mr. Hughes, coming upon it. "A buggy crossing over that place at a rapid rate would probably be injured by having a spring broken." The party turned down the alley be tween Kansas avenue and Jackson street. The mayor picked out several places where an insufficient amount of dirt had been replaced in the hole made for the pipes and where the paving had settled to a considerable extent. "This will all have to be taken, out and relaid," said Mr. Hughes. The amount of dirt and sand left over the brick in the alleys and the street was cause for more complaint. Mr. Ba ker plead overwork as an excuse for not cleaning it up sooner but promised to gef at it as soon as possible. Going through the alley the length of two blocks the party emerged at Sev enth street. Mr. Hughes then went to his office in the city hall. "There has been a great deal of com plaint made to me about these excava tions and I have been over the ground several times before the trip this morn OF UNDERWEAR 39o 25c?Ladies' Ribbed Ladies' Ribbed assorted styles, size 14, 15 T-diea Ribbed ing," he explained to the reporter.

Banks Telia Hia Congregation That Their Influence Is Bad. New York, June 18. Dr. Louis Albert Bank3 spoke in Grace Methodist church on the attitude of Christians to the the ater. He said: "It is not necessary to bring any rail ing accusation against the theater or to say anything harsh or unkind about actors in order to make it clear that the best thing Christians can do today is to stay away from the theater. No intelligent person will claim that the theater mirrors the best life of the peo ple; that it often mirrors the worst life we know. But Christianity stands for the best life. The Christian is to repre sent Jesus, and the theater, with its present irreverence and its more than suggestion of ill-smelling immorality, would seem to make it impossible of Indorsement by those who stfind for the morality of Jesus Christ. The peo ple who are seeking for the best things in imagination and stimulus to heroic endeavor will hardly find them in the theater."

BIG rJAIjjlUIlT. Fira Hundred Citiztns of South west Texas Are Searching For a Band of Mexican Outlaws. ONE FIGHT ALREADY. Sheriffs of Several Counties Heading Posses. Gov. Sajers Orders State Ban gers to Join in Pursuit. Chicago, June 18. A special to the Tribune from San Antonio, Tex., says: Five hundred citizens of southwest Texas are engaged in a man hunt, a party of Mexican outlaws being the quarry. Already there has been a fight be tween Texans and Mexicans near Bel mont, in which one Mexican was shot to death, one was hanged and one wounded. The one was hanged in an effort to make him divulge the where abouts of the leaders of the band of Mexican outlaws. The man hunt is the result of three murders within the last few days. The victims were Sheriff W. L. Morris of Kansas county. Sheriff Robert M. Glover of Gonzales county, and Tony Schnabel, a wealthy ranchman. Large posses of determined men headed by the shediffs of Travis. Hays, Bee, Falls, Bastrop. Kerr, Kendall, Starr, Atascosa, Webb, and a number of other counties are out hunting for the murderers. In addition to these numerous sheriffs' posses a number of citizens' posses have been organized and are scouring the country for the fugitives. Mayor Emmett White, of Austin, is in the field with a large posse. Governor Sayers today directed a detachment of state rangers to join in the pursuit, and altogether there are over 500 men out searching for the Mexican murderers. SO 310BE SOLDIERS. Work in Harvest Fields Has Spoiled thje Recruiting. A Kansas City paper says of the closing of the Topeka recruiting office: Topeka may be a good place for re cruiting men for the army when there is fighting to do, but so thoroughly bad did the business grow since the demand for harvesters began that Captain Uiine has been obliged to close the sta tion. The noncoms who were on duty there have been transferred to Salina, in hopes that tight fitting blouses and little to do may have charms enough to turn the hardy Kan san from shocking after the self-binders or to pull him from the band cutters' table at the thresher. In Missouri the Joplin office has been closed and the re cruiting party transferred to Springfield all operating under orders from the Kansas City station. Springfield is re porting as many men as is Kansas City, and even then it is not doing much, for up to yesterday all the men passed by Surgeon Slusher at this point made but an even dozen. TRADE OF PHILIPPINES. It Shows a Large Growth But is Most ly With Europe. Washington, June 18. An increase of 21 per cent in imports and 48 per cent in exports In Philippine commerce is shown in a comparative statement made public by the division of insular affairs, war de partment, setting forth the trade returns for the first ten months of lSoO as com pared with the same period of the pre ceding year. The total value of mer chandise imported into the Philippines from January to November, 1900, was $20, 113.152 against $16,644,568 for the same period of 1S99. The value of the exports from the Philippines during; the 1900 period is set down at $19,372,830 against $i2.975.6C5 in, ISM The greater part of the imports came from the European and Asiatic countries, although this trade with the United States showed an increase of 43 per cent. Exports to the United States, however, showed a falling off of $27,267. The major share of the exports were taken by Eu ropean countries. There were no imports of gold and silver from the United States, although during the 1900 period over $3, tMt.ooO worth of coin, bullion and ore was exported to this country. Must Pay For Tree Planting. The supreme court has made an order compelling Garden City to pay the in terest on its tree-planting debt of $40, 000. In the boom days the city decided to beautify by planting trees. A con tract was given out and filled, running up a big bill. Then the boom collapsed. The court's order is now made on man damus proceedings brought by S. M. Heller and directs the city council to lay a 15 mill tax on the assessed valua tion. Nothing is said about how the principal shall be paid, but the order recognizes the validity of the claim. No Trouble With Sheep Men. Cheyenne, Wyo., June IS.

Pederal Authorities and Porto Kican Politicians Get Together. San Juan, Porto Rico, June 18. At a mass meeting of the federal party held Sunday Francisco Acuna was elected party leader to succeed Monz Rivera. As a first step toward establishing harmonious relations between the fed eral party and the American authori ties, a committee composed of Senors Acuna, Santiago Palmer and Diaz, Navarro, paid their respects to Gov ernor Allen and offered him their co operation in whatever measures would advance the best interests of Porto Rico. It is now thought that the time has come when party bickerings should cease and be overlooked and that all men should unite in a common desire to aid the government. The committee in formed Governor Allen that they were satisfied that the intentions of the ad ministration had been for the best. Governor Allen received the visiting committee with the usual courtesies and expressing his pleasure at their visit said he had never for a moment doubt ed the result of the experiment, the successful issue of which was retarded only by injudicious statements. He said the future contained much promise and that they looked and hoped for con tinued improvement. He intimated that the island would undoubtedly soon en joy free trade with the United States and that as soon as Porto Rican and American markets were open to each other a great era of Porto Rican pros perity would ensue. Today's visit of the committee of three is the first Instance wherein leaders of the federal parties have called upon the American gov ernor and it is taken as an indication of complete political harmony for the future.

Kidd, one of the members of the American Federation of Labor com mittee investigating the local assembly last night sent to President Gompers at Washington a report recommending the revocation of the Chicago Federation's charter. If the recommendation is accepted drastic action will probably be taken by the executive board at a meeting to be held in Toronto early next month. A formidable rival to the Chicago fed eration would, it is said, be the inevi table sequel to the act of the revocation and forthwith a factional war would ensue between the rival labor assemb lies. Although for some time it has been realized in local labor circles that the relations between the Chicago federa tion and the parent body were being strained almost to the snapping point, yet it had been supposed that the crisis had been tided over during the sessions of the national officers at the Briggs House some two weeks ago. It has been charged that the Chicago Federa tion was guilty of insubordination to the national body and of violating the national rules of the organization. Among labor men of prominence the announcement as to the action of Mr. Kidd, who is a Chicaso man and na tional secretary of the Amalgamated Woodworkers union was decidedly sen sational news. In speaking of the matter Mr. Kidd said: "The specific charges on which I base my recommendation for the can cellation of the Chicago labor body's charter is that this particular labor as sembly has violated the rule adopted at the Louisville convention decreeing the denial of membership to the boxmakers, bridgemen, piano makers and other lo cal unions that have contumaciously refused to join their international or ganizations." CHARGED WITH BIGAMY. Earl Russell May Be Tried in the Housa of Lords. New York, June 18. Commenting up on the case of Earl Russell, who is charged in England with bigamy in having married Mrs. Somerville in Reno, Nev when he already had a wife in England, the London correspondent of the Tribune says: But the most interesting element is the function of the house of lords. the grand jury indicts Earl Russell for bigamy he will not be tried by an ordi nary criminal court, but by tne house of lords, since that is his privilege. j..e last time this was the case of the trial of a peer on a criminal charge was 40 years ago, when Lord Cardigan was charged with duelling. This was a crim inal offense and he was tried by the house of lords. The procedure is so unusual that veteran British lawyers forecast that it "will be the last instance of the kind. If the case actually reach es the upper house on the question of privilege, this bigamy trial in its broad est aspect brings up the whole question of the validity of American divorces when Englishmen cross the Atlantic for the purpose of evading English law and return with American decrees as their ground of defense. It is evident that the prosecution has prepared itself for a hard fight and that it has obtained possession of all the facts respecting Earl Russell's marriage and divorce in Nevada and also full information con cerning recent decisions of the United States supreme court on the subject. Judge Curier, who performed the marriage in Nevada, has nothing to say Largest and Handsomest respecting the Russell case, in which he will be an important witness. He is a bright and jovial American lawyer who has enjoyed his journey across the continent and the voyage from New York. RAILROADS FUSS. Canadian Pacific and Intercolonial Disagree Over Traffic New York, June 18 For a year or more, says a Montreal dispatch to the Times, the Canadian Pacific and Inter colonial railways have differed over traffic originating east of St. John, N. B. The Canadian Pacific railroad insisted on the long haul from St. John, but the Intercolonial officials would not con sent, declaring that that company was bound by its agreement to hand over westbound freight to the Grand Trunk at Montreal. On account of this dis pute, the Canadian Pacific transferred the bulk of its winter port business from St. John to Boston. The Canadian Pacific has now issued a notice that it will not accept freight on the Intercolonial except to its ter minus, at St. John, or Bay of Fundy ports and points reached therefrom, by the Dominion Atlantic railway. The Canadian Pacific management state that this is the result of an agreement with the International. FOR CONTEMPT. Denver Temperance Leaders Haled Into Court. Denver, June 18. Rev. M. A. Rader, pastor of Grace M. E. church; Rev. W. H. Talmage, state superintendent of the anti-saloon league, and Secretary Walter D. Wynkoop of the Christian Endeavor society of Denver, were sum moned to answer this morning in Judge Palmer's division of the district court to the charge of contempt. I. P. Stauer, secretary of the Chesapeake Oyster house, swore to the charges. At torney Milton H. Smith, who i acting for the Chesapeake, and Daniel Cronin, in the saloon injunction cases, appeared s atotrney for Mr. Stauer in the con tempt cases. The Rev. Mr. Rader is cited for con tempt on account of having made the following statement from his pulpit: "The saloon men prevailed upon Judge Palmer two weeks ago to grant an in junction against the enforcement of the law. I've got respect for our courts as such, but when the district Judge pros titutes the bench to such low ends, I confess I am not only astounded, but deeply grieved. Whoever heard of such a procedure? The idea of our couits conniving with the lawbreakers! It is high time to call a halt. I suppose we will soon be informed that a judge will grant injunctions against the enforce ment of the laws against thieves and sluggers and murderers." The information against Mr. Talmage says that in an interview he declared in substance: "That the said Peter L. Palmer was under the control and influence of the saloon men of the city of Denver and that the said injunctions- were issued by him at their behest and that it would be worth while for the saloon men to pay Judge Palmer $20,000 to make the injunction permanent, but if it were ac complished it would result in a great upheaval of the Christian people of Den ver." Mr. Talmasre is also said to have stated in a letter sent in duplicate to a majority of the Denver ministers that "the saloon men have in their power the sheriff's office, the district attor ney, one member of the fire and police board, Mr. Bottom, and one district judge." Mr. Wynkoop is cited in consequence of his having issued, the following no tice to members of 'the Christian En deavor society: "Dear Endeavorers: I is desired that at the meeting of your Christian En deavor society on Sunday night the president state the fact that Judge Pal mer has issued a temporary injunction; he will attempt to permit the saloons to reopen all over the city on Sundays un less the better class of the people im press him that he shall not do so. Ask all present who are in favor of the sa loons closing on Sundays to raise their hands; all who will attend Judge Pal mer's court at 10 a. m. Monday, June 10, and see that he give fair play to the Christians of Denver. Yours in the work, W. D. WYNKOOP." HOT WINDS ARE FELT. Wheat Harvest on in Earnest Oat Crop Short.

Farmers Plan to Destroy Hes sian Wheat Field Pest. Farmers in the central part of the state are considering the advisability of burning wheat stubble after harvest in order to kill permanently the Hes sian fly pest. This system has been tried in other localities and is said to have given excellent results. The Hes sian fly is one of the most blighting in fluences that gets in its work on Kansas wheat fields, and if it is found that its destruction can be consummated by burning the wheat ptubble, every Kan sas wheat grower is ready and willing to invest in a box of matches and start a bonfire after the field is cleared for action.

There were some peculiar features about yesterday's stock market movements and doubtless some disappointment was felt with re spect to the actions of Missouri Pacific and Union Pacific. In a sense, however, the decline in Missouri Pacific on the declaration of the semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent and the declining of sub scription rights on the stock was in ac cordance with ordinary AVall street prece dents. It is the common practice of speculators to sell on good news and buy on bad news. The step taken by the Missouri Pacific management is an im portant and encouraging one. It places the company in the dividend paying list from which it has been absent for years. From nothing to 5 per cent a year looks on the face of it like a very radical pro-cedure- Cotton Mart.
