lip MY LAST EDITION. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, JUNE 19, 1901. WEDNESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. WEDGE J SIXTH. Politicians Fix a Boom For Burrow For Congress. Will Take Him Out of Secretary of State Contest. SPLITS THE C03IBINE, Leares Dare Ilanna Full Con trol of District Delegation. Will Shuffle Cards In Topeka For the Sevr Deal. Political -wisdom is filtering' more ana more through the Sixth district. The fact has been widely advertised that it is speaking for two places on the state ticket one for D. J. Hanna, of Hill City, for lieutenant governor, and the other for J. R. Burrow, of Smith county, for secretary of state. There is a movement on foot in several of the counties through which the Rock Isl and runs to launch Burrow on an en tirely different tack. The politicians will very soon hang out a boom for Burrow for congress to succeed W. A. Keeder. It is expected that by next week lie will be a full-fledged candi date. The politicians who are the head and shoulders o& this movement will not for a minute consider the grooming of Burrow for secretary of state. They are for Dave Hanna for lieutenant gov ernor, however, and they know it would be almost an impossibility to land both hira and Burrow on the state ticket, be cause the rest of the state would fight against giving two candidates to the Sixth district. Burrow's friends in the Sixth district ere serious about running him for con press. Several of them are coming down to Topeka within the next few days to talk the matter over and give his boom a formal launching. It is be lieved that Burrow would not balk on making a race against Reeder. One of the best informed politicians of the Sixth district says that as be tween Reeder. Wellington and White, he is for Wellington, but if Burrow gets into the race he will be for him in preference to any other man. "At no time has Burrow taken the matter of secretary of state under ad visement." says this authority. "He wouldn't take the nomination for that office if it was tendered to him unani mously. The fact of it is. Mort Al baugh has axes to grind. That is the reason he is so amicably booming Bur row for secretary of state and Hanna for lieutenant governor. Only one of this pair is really a. prospective candi date That is Hanna. He would ac cept the nomination for lieutenant gov ernor without any urging. "George Clark is another state hotise Incumbent who is lending his moral in fluence to the bringing forward of both of the men for state offices. He. too, is unusually friendly to the Sixth dis trict now. He wants to be state printer." Hanna will have a better chance to hold the Sixth district delegation solid to his candidacy for lieutenant gov ernor in the state convention if Bur row goes into the running for congress. It has been said that the two men fixed up a deal to pull together and stand or fall the same way. These new de velopments show a better "way out" than fusion of interests. ESCAPE FROM JAIL Seyen Prisoners Saw Out Nome City Jail. of Nome City, June 6. -v la Seattle, Wash., June 19. One of the most daring and successful jail deliveries that has taken place in Alaska occurred on May 20, when seven prisoners in the federal jail escaped and at last advices four were still at large. Those who got away were named Bowers. Davis, Miller and Landes, while Smith, Libbey and May were recaptured. In the capture May was shot through the head and jaw and is in a precar ious condition. The escape was effected bv cutting through the roofs of the cells and after wards cutting through the corrugated iron roof of the jail. As soon as the prisoners were missed, a detachment of soldiers was sent from Fort Davis. Every one leaving town was questioned and "dodgers" advertising the escape were freely circulated. Libby was first captured hiding in a cabin. Smith and May were found making their way over the ridge, and were called on to surren der. The former did so but May made a break for liberty and was shot and Drought down. Neighboring towns and camps have been advised of the escape of the re maining four and their capture is thought to be only a matter of a short time. The results of the winter's work prove emphatically that Nome is a winter camp. Within a radius of eight miles about the city dumps have been piled up which on conservative estimates will yield five hundred thousand dollars and this in -spite of the lack of proper ap pliances and high price of fuel. With an ample coal supply at reasonable prices for thawing winter work can be prosecuted on a large scale. From Council City and the Topkuk come the best of reports. It is said th-n gold has been taken out during the lnt ,the value of half a million. tThe Topkuk beach is still yielding good p. i y Considerable dust is being taken out right along. The bankers and commer cial agents of the city have received over on hundred thousand dollars in winter dust and nuggets. All reports received at Nome during the winter tend to establish the reports of immense richness in the Bluestone andKougarok country and excellent reports come from the farther northern Arctic dis tricts. Indiana Get First Choice. Washington, June 19. Governor Jen kins of Oklahoma was at the interior department today and asked for maps of the Kiowa lands in Oklahoma which are soon to be opened, with a view to making the state selections for school land and other purposes, as allowed by law. Commissioner of Indian Affairs Jones declined to permit the selections by the state in advance of the Indians' selections. Governor Jenkins later eought authority from Secretary Hitch cock but the latter gave do definite an-war. FOR P0ST0FFICE WORK. Number of Available Applicants In creased by Examination. A special civil service examination was held today at the new United States court room in the government building. It was called at this time be cause the list of available candidates for clerks and carriers is almost ex hausted. Twenty applicants took the examina tion. Of these, three were women, and one of the women was a colored woman. Ten of the applicants want to be ap pointed to clerkships, and ten want to be carriers. All but two of the appli cants are Topekans. The examination was conducted by Leroy Powell and A. J. Ashpole. The candidates were examined in spelling, arithmetic, writing, geography and on general subjects. The examination commenced at 9 o'clock, and all of the candidates were through within six hours. The examination questions were comparatively easy, and anyone who failed to answer them clearly demon strated beyond question his or her in capacity for doing postoffice work. It will be from one to four months til! the report of the result Is received from Washington. The papers are-all ent to the postoffice department for examina tion The department refuses to give out the names of the applicants. CORNELL'S TURN. Rockefeller Douates $250,000 to the University. Ithaca, N. T., June 19. At a meeting of the board of trustees of Cornell uni versity today President Schurman pre sented a letter from John L. Rocke feller, donating $250,000 to the university on condition that an equal amount is contributed by others. The $500,000 when secured will be used in providing additional accommodations for instruc tions and research. BOUND TO TELL II Desperate Effort of Barter to Tell Why He Shot Keller. New Tork, June 19. Once more to day the prosecution in the case of Thos. G. Barker, on trial at Jersey City for the shooting of the Rev. John Keller, ot Arlington, blocked the defense in its efforts to bring out the story of the mo tive that moved the prisoner when he attempted the life of his former friend. Barker was called to the witness stand on the opening of court to complete his testimony under cross-examination, and in reply to questions of his counsel he began to describe his movements on February 3, the morning of the shoot ing. He said he left home to buy u newspaper. As he neared the corner of Beach street and Midland avenue, he said he met Mr. Keller on Beach street, about 40 feet from the corner. Keller stopped and said, "Good morning Mr. Barker." Here the witness straightened up in his chair and continued. "I replied to Keller and said: "Tou villain, you outraged my wife,' and I then "I object. I object, stop, stop," shout ed County Prosecutor Erwin. The court ruled not to allow further testimony on this point and then Bar ker started to tell what happened af ter the shooting. He said -tie jumped on a car and went to the town hall at Kearney, where he surrendered him self. Barker stated that he went alone to the town hall which was in contradic tion of testimony for the state that he was accompanied by a Mr. Buckley, a neighbor. The witness started to tell what a sleepless night he had spent before the shooting, and about his nervous and excited condition. He was promptly stopped by the prosecutor and the ob jection was sustained. TEDDY AND TWAIN. Col. Roosevelt and Mr. Clemens Invited to Kansas City. Kansas City, June 19.

Mr. Clemens, it Is ex pected, will deal particularly in anec dotes of his younger days in Missouri. FORETELLS HIS DEATH. Aged Frenchman Correctly Prophesies Data of Demise a Week Ahead. New Tork. June 19. Claude Corisse, 79 years old, died suddenly at his home at Rahway, N. J., from cramps this morning just before sunrise, after an illness of one hour. He predicted the Saturday before last that he would die before sunrise this morning. Corisse was born in France in 1822 and fought in the French revolution of 1847. He went to Rahway in 1867.

Kansas Flonr Makers Will De mand Attention Abroad. C. B. Hoffman President of Millers' Export Company. A. P. COLLINS TALKS. Tells What It Is Hoped Will Be Accomplished. Grain and Live Stock Association to Co-operate With Millers. The directors of the Kansas Milling and Export company, a new organiza tion which has grown out of the Kan sas State Millers' association, held a meeting here at the Throop hotel Tues day afternoon and elected officers for the first year. They are: C B. Hoffman, President of President, C. B. Hoffman, Enterprise. Vice president, C. L. Brinkman, Kan sas City. Secretary, Otto Swaller, Kansas City. Treasurer, H. Hackney, Topeka. The Kansas Milling and Export as sociation was first started in Kansas City on May 22 and it is playfully alluded to as the millers' trust. The directors who were in session here Tuesday adjourned to meet in Kansas City at the Coates house next Saturday, June 22, at 10:30. The dilemma in which the association finds itself is the lack of a manager who is thoroughly conversant with the wheat and milling industry. The aim and object of the new associ ation, so the members say, is to estab lish and maintain standard grades of flour in the large markets of the world both foreign and domestic. The general headquarters of the new association will be maintained at Kan sas City. Branch offices will also be opened in both London and New York. The launching of this company seems to be about to bring about a realiza tion of the hopes of the Kansas miller, that of placing the Kansas product be fore the world on an equal footing with the product of the older and already established mills of the north. This means a long step forward in trades ex tension. A great deal of attention will be paid to export trade and new mar kets will be opened up to the Kansas millers that have been heretofore be yond their reach. The Farmers' Co-Operative Grpin and Live Stock association is friendly to the Milling and Export company. A. P. Collins, one of the directors of the Far mers' association, was at the meeting and in a 30 minute address expressed the friendly feeling which his associa tion held for the Millers' and Milling associations, and asked for their hearty co-operation. He rehearsed the history of the var ious methods the farmers have had of disposing of their wheat and said: "The changes wrought by the introduc tion of elevators, and the refusal of the railway companies to furnish cars for shipment of grain to any one but the owners of the line elevators com pelled the farmers to dispose of their wheat to the owners of the elevators, the only competition being such prices as the elevator men felt disposed to offer. "To this our people rebelled, feeling that the wheat was their own and that they had a natural right to sell to whom they chose or .to ship it on their own account. This caused the general movement, over the state to organize for the purpose that the farmer might dispose of his wheat by shipment." "We regard the millers as our natural friends," he said, "and as they are our neighbors, with their capital invested in mills as ours is in our farms, we feel that there should be a friendly spirit between the two. We are not tempor arily located in the state, but perman ently. We are interested in the state. And anything that is to the interest of the farmer is to the interest of the miller. Without the prosperty of the farmer there can be no prosperity of the miller. "Our interests are alike in other di rections. It is to sell our wheat and the wheat products for the highest pos sible price, by raising the standard and quality to the highest possible plane. "This will enable the miller with such wheat to grind a better grade of flour. Consequently he will be able to sell for a higher price, thereby making it pos sible for him to raise the price of wheat to the farmers. "We have felt in the past that the ex porting of scant grades of wheat to for eign markets has been detrimental to the interests of the farmers in that a No. 2 grade wheat has been shipped an3 that in this respect the wheat was not equal in milling value to some grades of wheat sold by the farmer. "Thus the market has been depressed for Kansas wheat in the European mar- I t !'.0 T--- -jr sa&W'?W. 'fin I "Si .--.--rt. T nil ill tin kets. And as the European markets largely fix the price of wheat in Kan sas, the price is reduced to the farmer. "These things we wish to see correct ed. We are not organizing for the pur pose of making a warfare upon anyone. If the people are not satisfied with the service we have and we claim the right to dispense with such unsatisfactory service. "We are not seeking to make attacks upon railway companies. We believe we have common interests with them, and that when they realize our true purposes no obstructions will be placed before us by them. "We desire to take such steps in rela tion to the wheat crop of the state as will improve its quality by raising less rye in the wheat fields, by fre quent changes of seed, and any other method that may increase its value as a flour producing product. "And thus we hope to place our pro duct at the head of the market of this or any other country. We request the co-operation of all, who are favorable to the accomplishment of these ends." In speaking of the movement now on foot to improve the quality of Kansas wheat, B. Warkentine, one of the larg est millers of the state, of Newton said: "There is now a shipment of about 15, 000 bushels of a hard Russian wheat, the variety being known as Arnautka, on the way. This variety of wheat was Kansas Millers Exporting Co, raised in Kansas in Harvey and Mc Pherson counties in the years 1871-2. It resembles greatly the hard California flint wheat. It was abandoned by the Kansans who were growing it for the reason that at that time they had no market for that brand of wheat. It is a very fine quality of wheat and can be raised to advantage in Kansas now. It is used for macaroni purposes." The following officers of the Kansas State. Millers' association were elected for the ensuing year: J. H. McNair, Halstead, president; Geo. F. Warren, vice president; J. E. Howard, Wichita, secretary, in place of C. V. Topping, who goes to Oklahoma to manage the Oklahoma Millers' associ ation; David Bowie, Topeka, treasurer. The millers passed resolutions deplor ing the fact that at the transmissouri traffic, association, the report became current that the importation of the 15, 000 bushels of hard Russian wheat for Kansas farmers was for speculative purposes. This importation it is claim ed is for no selfish purpose, but to help raise the standard of the wheat raised in Kansas. It is to be distributed broadcast over the state to the various farmers who are raising wheat. Another resolution was to the effect that the Millers' association deplored the fact that rye was mixed with the wheat to a greater or lesser extent by the Kansas far.ners. It called for a reform along these lines. The mixing which is accidental it is claimed is de trimental to the milling values of the wheat as well as the market va?Ce. The millers recommended that the state inspection bureau adopt more stringent rules along these lines. The president of the Milling and Ex port association, C. B. Hoffman, of En terprise, made an address setting forth the plans and- purposes of the associa tion. The association will work alons lines similar- to those of the farmers' association. About thirty mills were represented at the meeting. C. B. Topping, the retiring secretary of the K. S. M. A., and now secretary and manager of the Oklahoma and In dian Territory Millers' associaton, was present and made an interesting talk on the condition of the section of the country he now represents. He is now located at Oklahoma City. He was tendered a vote of thanks for the excellent manner in which he has conducted the affairs of the Kansas Millers' association while connected with it. He carries with him to his new home the best w-ishes of all his friends in the Kansas Millers' associa tion. ARGUMENT IN BETTS CASE. Boy Charged With Murder Will Soon Know the Verdict. Arkansas City, Kan., June 19. The tes timony in the Betts murder trial has closed. Judge MeBride's instructions to the jury are understood to be favorable to the irisoner. Under the charge the in dictment must be either guilty or not guiltv of murder in the first degree. C. W. Roberts, for the state, addressed the jury for about an hour. He was fol lowed by H. S. Hines for the defense, who made a plea for four hours in duration, occupying the time until adjournment. This morning W. P. Hackney will close for the defense and will be followed by County Attorney Torrence for the state, which will closa the pleadings and the case will then go to the jury. Maher Bides Winner.

Reiff) won the Fern Hill stakes. Frank Gard ner's Omaha II (C. Jenkins) was second and Lord Melton finished third. j HIS LAST HOURS. W. T. Stead Describes the End of Gov. Pingree. English Editor's Glowing Tri bute to the Dead. HE LONGED FOR HOME. Foundation of His Illness Laid in Southern Prison. Had Valuable Stores of Knowl edge From South Africa. New Tork, June 19. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from London quotes W. T. Stead upon the death of ex-Governor Pingree of Michigan as follows: "Ex-Governor Pingree of Michigan, the one-time famous mayor of Detroit, lies dead at the Grand hotel in London. "Pingree returned to London from the continent after a brief and eventful visit to South Africa, carrying with him a sentence of death. "He was conscious up to the last of everything but his approaching death. He knew he was weak and ill, but longed to return home to his own peo ple. From time to time he gave orders as to packing his trunks in order that he might start at once without delay. "He had been attended constantly all day by his son, Hazen Pingree, who did everything he could in the way of personal tenderness or procuring the best advice in London, but nothing doc tors could do could arrest the disease. They say his weakness dated a long time back, as long indeed as the tine when he lay captive in a confederate prison in the great civil war, but its acute form only manifested itself during his stay in Dresden. "He was making a tour of the con tinent with a view to the development of America's export business. On his arrival in London he was ailing rather badly, but it seemed so little to occa sion alarm that his-secretary and trav eling companion, Colonel Sutton, deemed it safe to return home, leaving him with his son. The dysentery, in stead of getting better, grew worse. Sir Thomas Barlow was called, but was unable to check the fatal flux, which, continuing day after day, was suffi cient to sap the strongest constitution. It was accompanied by ulceration, which the physicians found impossible to deal with until the dysentery was checked. When to these intestinal com plications was added acute peritonitis, the strength of the patient was unable to rally. "The career ot one of the most notable of modern Americans is closed, a man who for strength of character, firmness of purpose, indomitable en ergy and immense public spirit pre sents an example to two worlds. "Pingree had an extremely interest ing experience in his brief visit to South Africa. He went out armed with recommendations from Chamberlain which enabled him to pass everywhere freely through the English lines. When he left London he was fed with all the calumnies upon the Boers which have been resorted to to palliate the a ttempted extermination of the republics. But the moment he got to South Africa the scales began to fall from his eyes. "Recommendations from the colonial office enabled him to penetrate regions hermetically sealed to the ordinary civ ilian. Accompanied only by his secre tary he penetrated into the heart of the seat of war and soon had an opportun ity of making the acquaintance of the Boers at first hand. Extraordinary though it may be, he was able to lunch in the British camp in the morning and dine with the Boer commando in the evening. He found to his astonishment that the Boers were by no means so black as they had been painted. They were by no means devoid of human intelligence, they dressed and washed like civilized beings welcomed with gen erous hospitality the traveling Ameri can who found them far from extrem ists. "The commandoes he visited were well clothed and well armed, every man possessing at least two horses with a good reserve of ammunition. They are safeguarding it no doubt but they still have stores of Mauser cartridges to fall back upon but for the present they are doing all their fighting with Lee-Met-fords and cartridges which they supply themselves with from the British stores. "It was impossible that such a man as Pingree could fail to be deeply touched by the spectacle of these heroic burghers maintaining their struggle against over whelming odds for liberty and indepen dence of their country. He found no dif ficulty whatever in traversing the hostile lines: he -drove in a cape cart with his secretary and son riding bicycles as an escort. It was somewhat perilous for them for the Boers have the disagreeable al though natural habit of shooting ail bicy cle riders on sight, for with them cyclist and British dispatch rider are synony mous terms. "They came back unscathed. It is much to be regretted that in the interests of truth and justice so keen an observer should not have been spared to return to his own country to describe the Boers as he found them in the struggle which must have recalled at every turn the stirring episodes of the war of indepen dence." WEBB M'NALL'S OFFICE. Made Supreme Foreman of the A. O. IT. W. Supreme Lodge. Buffalo, NT. T., June 19. The supreme lodge of the Ancient Order of United Workmen elected these officers: Supreme master workman. A. C. Harwick, Buffalo: supreme foreman. Webb McNall, Kansas; supreme over seer, B. R. Matson, Chicago; supreme guide, Louis C. Merrill, Massachusetts; supreme watchman, Mr. Ritchie. Ma.ni- toba; supreme recorder, M. W. Sackett, Meadville, Pa.; supreme receiver, John J. Acker, New York; supreme trustees, Thomas Leggatte, Montreal; Edwin Danforth, San Francisco; S. I. Johnson, Okoboji, I. T. Portland. Ore., was decided- on as the next meeting place. QUEER CAUSE FOR SUICIDE Driven Desperate Because He Could Get No Farm Hands Atchison. Kan.. June 19. Christopher Butt, who killed himself at his farm near Atchison yesterday, worried a great deal because he could not get farm hands to help in the cutting of his wheat. He need ed only a few men, but they did not seem to be available, and his brother says this was one of three or four things that an noyed him most and unbalanced his mind. MORGAN IN BUFFALO. People Almost Smothered Sim Be cause He Knew Mrs. Nation. W. X.Morgan, state printer, who hails from Topeka and Hutchinson is in Buf falo attending the Pan-American expo sition and has written of his observa tion for the Hutchinson News. Among other things he says: When a Kansas man comes east he must avoid letting his feelings stick out or they will be stepped on. In spite of world's fairs the people back east have peculiar ideas of Kansas. I went into a wax works show on the Midway and was surprised to find that along with Queen Victoria, Frances WTillard, Mrs. Luetgert, Mary Queen of Scots and other female celebrities was a wax fig ure labelled "Carrie Nation." It didn't look any more like Mrs. Na tion than it did like Jessie Morrison, so I ventured a mild protest to the man agement, admitting that I was from Kansas. "Look here, everybody," he shouted, "here's a man from Kansas that knows Mrs. Nation!" And I held a sort of a reception for a time while people left off the contemplation of Cleopatra's court to see "the mm from Kansas who knows Mrs. Nation." It was no use explaining to them anything about Mrs. Nation or the peculiar situation in Kansas. They merely said "Kansas" and that explained it so far as they cared. But there is another string on which Kansas people can harp. The east again has the impression that Kansas has money and the old fin ancial black eye has passed away. In business circles a Kansas man can hold up his head and everybody takes off his hat to the representative of a state which has more money than it knows what to do with. That is a most agreeable change from a few 3Fears ago. One doesn't mind being considered a trifle queer if the holder of that opinion is anxious to stand in with him as a supposed plutocrat from Kansas. HILL AT THE BAR Ex-Senator Pleads State's Case Against Molineux. Buffalo, N. T., June 19. The argu ment of the appeal of Roland B. Moli neux, the alleged poisoner of Mrs. Katherine J. Adams, was resumed- be fore the court of appeals today. Ex Senator David B. Hill, for the people, made a number of additions to the au thorities and decisions referred to in his brief, and then took up the question of the guilt of the defendant, remind ing the court that not once in its argu ment had the other side avowed the in nocence of the accused. He insisted that it had been proved by overwhelm ing evidence that Molineux had written the letters and the address on the poison package, and that his guilt had been clearly established. He said it was not material who bought the bottle holder, and drew at tention to the fact that Zellar, Moli neux's friend and assistant, had never set foot in New Tork after the arrest. Mr. Hill also dwelt upon the fact that Molineux was a chemist and described his laboratory and the poisons which it contained. "Where was the man," he exclaimed, "who had the opportunity that he had to poison his enemies?" Mr. Hill pictured Molineux as a suf ferer from a malady which made him melancholy, reviewed the trouble at the Knickerbocker Athletic club and pic tured Molineux as plotting for revenge. He insisted that every circumstance in the case linked Molineux to the crime, including the fact that he had hired a lawyer and engaged a handwriting ex pert before suspicion against him had shaped itself. "The defense," said he, "went through the trial casting suspicion right and left without reason or system, merely seek ing to avert it from their client." Mr. Hill asserted that under the tu torship of Mr. Carvalho, expert in writing, the accused learned to dis guise his hand writing and did disguise it in the writing he did for expert Kinsley. Leaving out considerable of the ex pert testimony Mr. Hill said the state had still a complete chain of circum stantial evidence of the guilt of the ac cused. "We have," he said, "Molineux's al leged description of his malady and we have that same description in the Mars don blank. We have all the other di rect and circumstantial evidence that connects the prisoner directly." As to the Barnett case, the admissi bility of testimony regarding which the defense disputes, Mr. Hill asserted that that case and the case of Mrs. Adams were so closely interwoveu that it was impossible to separate them. He also argued that the forgery of the names of Barnett and oCrnish and the inter ception of their mail was criminal and that the state had a right to show them. i EVIDENCE BEGINS. State Places First Witness on in the Morrison Case. Kansas City, June 19. A special to the Star from El Dorado, Kan., says: The state today began its presentation to the jury of evidence bearing directly on the killing of Mrs. Olin Castle by Jessie Morrison. The recitation of the death struggle in the Castle home on the morning of June 22, a year ago, be tween the two women caused the crowd of spectators in the court room to loo!; on in breathless silence. It also had its effect on the prisoner. First the dyin? declaration of Mrs. Castle, which stated that Jessie Morrison had called at the Castle house, opened a quarrel over a letter from Mr. Castle and then attack ed her with a razor. While Attorney Leydig, for the state, read the state ment, slowly and impressively, the members of the jury did not take their eyes from his face. Miss Morrison's breast heaved and she gulped continu ally. She held her fingers to her lips and rarely moved. Mrs. Emma R. Spangler, the first per son on the scene of the tragedy, told of hearing screams in the Castle house, and on running to the scene of seeing Mrs. Castle bleeding from wounds on her throat and breast, and her clothing torn, lying on the floor", while Jessie Morrison stood over her. TO DIG TOR COAL Hole 2,000 Feet Deep Is to Bo Drilled. Will Be on Dudley Farm, Sonth of Topeka. DOLMAN ITS PH03I0TEI Has Secured More Than Half of Necessary 5,000. Prominent Capitalists Are In terested in the Venture. That a hole will be bored 2,000 feet into the ground in Shawnee county to prospect for coal, oil and gas is an as sured fact. L. S. Dolman has interested a lartre number of business men and half, or more, of the $5,000 necessary has been subscribed. For some time there has been talk of there being coal and gaa around Topeka and evidences of it have been found on the surface, tluilfoid Dudley has been one of the most ener getic promoters of the search for a. natural bed of coal or flow of gas or oil. He has found surface evidence of them on his farm south of town and has conducted experiments which have verified the first indications of deposits. In speaking of the plan to prospect by boring Judge Dolman said: "A num ber of people who understand the busi ness of drilling claim that w have bet ter surface prospects in Shawnee coun ty for coal and gas than anywhere in Kansas. There have been experiments made on the Dudley farm south ui town that have been very sa I isi uotory. Mr. Dudley has contemplated prospect ing for the past li years but no one man wishes to take it uion himself to do it. We are at the point now wht-re it is an assured fact that we will drill at least 2,0(k) feet. We know that a drill ing company of any consequence cm drill 2.0WJ feet in a short time. We know the company that attempted tc bore the old coal hole failed to drill .000 feet and that they left their drill in the hole so as to make it impossible to drill there in the future. They went away without receiving a dollar for their labor. "We can have 2.000 feet drilled for $5,000 while that company was to re ceive $12.0U0 for drilling -2.000 feet. The most improbable place to find coal or oil is in the valleys where the old co;l hole was located. The active oil welia of Beaumont are confined to an area of 160 acres, so if nothing could have been found at the bottom of the oil coal hole, had it been sunk, that does not prove that we could not find something elsewhere. The hole will be drilled at a. Place to be decided upon by the parties interested in the enterprise. On sccuunt of the surface prospects south of town it is probable that a site south of the city will be chosen. Toic-ka's resources center upon a manufacturing town arid for that we must have cheaper fuel. It is honed it win be found." This morning Major T. J. Anderson received a check tor $200 from F. J. Johnson, of the Bank of Commerce, Kansas City, to be used toward t h fund for drilling.

The morning's session of the conference of politi.-al re formers whose object is the building of a third party in Missouri that latt-rsball take on national proportions. developed nothing of particular interest. Asid from a few talks and the adoption of resolutions eulogizing the work of the late H. S. Pingree of Michigan, no pro gress was made. After the meeting had taken a recess at noon, J. H. Cook, chairman of the Populist state central commiitep, stated that he would soon issue a call to some of the state Populist committees, at least those in Kansas, Iowa, Nebraska and Colorado, inviting them to take us the work of uniting the reform forces in the country into a new third party, with the ultimate purpose of effecting a national Organization.

Fight May Result in a Split in the American League. Baltimore, June 19 The fight be tween John McGraw and Ban Johnson is becoming serious, and may cause a split in the American League at the close of the season. McGraw today sharply criticised President Johnson's tactics. Said he: "This assertion by President Johnson that the managers of American League clubs agreed at the Chicago meeting to sign no National League men without permission from Johnson is rot. Neith er did I wire from Hot Springs to him for permission to sign Donlin and Wil liams, as he is reported to have said. The agreement at Chicago was for each club to sign no more than three Na tional men. This limit was afterward raised to four and each club named men. I went to Hot Springs, believing that all the signing had been done, and that this agreement would be lived up to, only to find that Chicago.Boston and Philadelphia were busily engaged in signing every National man they could get. They had seven or eight a piece, as they stili have, and I found the Bal timore club was the only one getting left because it was living up to the agreement. I wired Johnson about Don lin, not for permission, but to know what effect his hiving signed one of the old St. Louis contracts woui- have. Williams was never mentioned." Manager McGraw said that Ban Johnson to the contrary notwithstand ing, Hughey Jenning will play on the Baltimore American team. McGraw and Jennings have been corresponding industriously for some time, and Hughey's last letter, which arrived led McGraw to assert that the auburn haired player will be in Baltimore on Wednesday, and cover first bag on that day for the Oriole team. McGrew is strongly backed up to his fight against Ban Johnson by the officials of the Bal timore club, and the correspondence be tween them and the president of the league has been sharp and bitter. M'GOVERN AND EOBEHT3. A Purse of $5,000 Offered For Terry to Meet the English Champion. New York, June 19. Sam Fitzpatrick, who for the last month has been trying to bring about a match between Jack Roberts, the English featherweight champion, and Terry McGovern, ha3 heard from the Englishman. In a letter to Fitzpatrick Roberts says: "I am perfectly willing to meet Mc Govern, but at present my affairs over here are in a bad way owing to my con nection with the unfortunate fight in which Billy Smith of America met his death. My case will come up again on June 24. I fully expect to be exonera ted, and will take the trip to the states immediately if the decision is favorable to me. The Mirror of Life, London, has received a communication nom Amer ica, offering a purse of $5,00 j for Mc Govern and myself, and this suits me. I am to be allowed traveling expenses, and the weight is fixed at 126 pounds, weigh in at 3 o'clock on the aftecnoon of the fight. Owing to my trial the date will have tc be deferred until late in August." Fitzpatrick says that Roberts is the best featherweight England has turned out in many years. He fights the same way as McGovern, and can strike as hard a blow, it is said. Although Rob erts does not mention the name of the club which made the offer of $5,000 it is believed the offer came from San Fran cisco, and that the contest if clinched will be decided there. "BILLY" EARLE'S SUCCESS. American Flayer is Coaching a Ball Team at Havana. Richmond. Ind., June 19. "Billy" Earle, the old National league player, has been for a year past coaching the Almendares team at Havana. From last place he brought the club up to a close second, and has contracted for next season. Earle was in charge of the Richmond team for two years. M'COY AFTER JEFFRIES, Says He Will Leave All Details to the Champion. New York, June 19. Ton O'Rourke, manager for Kid McCoy, telegraphed a challenge to Jeffries last night for a fight for the heavyweight champion ship of the world. O'Rourke left no loophole open. He offers to leave all the details to Jeffries, to fight at any old place, night or day, indoors or out doors, public or private, for the best purse offered and any side bet. McCoy, came here from hia Saratoga roadhouse on Friday, and since then he and O'Rourke have been framing up the challenge. McCoy said: "I am in first-class con dition and getting tired of being out of the fighting game. I'm going to try hard to get a match on. We expect soon to be able to announce a new box ing club right at New York's door. If I can't get Jeffries on, I will tackle Fitzsimmons or Sharkey." Handler Willing to Fight Joe Gana. New York, June 19. Joe Handler of Newark, the young lightweight who so handily knocked "Spike" Sullivan out at Trenton last Monday night, not hav ing heard from Frank Erne, has thrown down the gautlet to Joe Cans. "I will post a forfeit this week wih Al Smith," said Handler, "and leave it up to -e covered by any 133 or 135 pounaer in the business. Of course I prefer a match with Erne because he holds the title. But I think Gans is the next best man and a contest with him will suit me. 1 am ready to accept any reasonable purse any reliable club may offer and will be ready to meet Gans within three weeks." Gans said recently that he would meet Handler provided the winner takes all the purse. In regard to this Handler says he is satisfied and is anx ious to make a match on these terms at once. Handler is also ready to ac cept Hugh McWinter's defi for a match at 133 or 135 pounds, but expresses a de sire that the combat be for $1,000 on the outside. Pitcher Watkins Retires. Dayton, O., June 19. Pitcher F. C. Watkins, one of the most popular south paws in the old Interstate league, who was graduated this week from the Uni versity of Michigan, has written to Manager Armour, of the Dayton team, telling him of his intention to quit baseball, in order that he may at once enter upon his duties as a physician in a Cleveland hospital. Watkins pitched in the Interstate league for three sea sons and was one of the best left handers in the organization. He had promised to return again on June 20, but has declined since a good position was offered him. His loss will be greatly felt by the Dayton team. Amateur Golfers Go Abroad. New York, June 19. Amateur golfers, with some pretensions to a mastery over the ball, have planned a trip to Great Britain which will extend at all events until August, and maybe later. That the contingent is the first repre sentative one to invade the classic course is shown by the fact that the party will include Walter J. Travis, R. H. Robertson, J. M. Robertson. Dev eraux Emmett and Arden M. Bobbins. Mr. Emmett is a familiar face at Prestwick and thereon, but the remain ing trio have yet to make their ac quaintance with the Scottish links. Races in St. Louis. St. Louis. June 19. Three favorites, two second choices and one third choice were first past the judges at the fair grounds.

Tfia Kind Yea H3?3 Always BaugM Signature of pi KANSAS Almost Entire Statement of Mrs. Castle Admitted. This Evidence Excluded at First Morrison Trial. STRONGER FOR STATE. Design is to Prove She Believed She Was Dying. When the Story of the Throat Cutting Was Told. El Dorado, Kas., June 19. The most important featureof the Jessie Morrison trial Tuesday was the admission of the dying statement of Clara Wiley Castle in evidence. The dying statement of Clara Castle, without the omissions, follows: "I, Clara Castle, having lost all hope of recovery and believing that my life is of short duration, and that my death is pending and very near, and thus be ing in the presence of death, I make the following statement and declare it to be the truth: I was attending to my household duties on the morning of June 22, 1900, when I first saw Jessie Morrison come in at our gate. She came up to the door, our west door. Jessie came up to the door, and, hold ing up a letter, asked me if I had writ ten it. I told her I had not written it. Jessie then started to come in. I took hold of the screen. I invited her in. I thought I would treat her as a lady. The screen was not fastened when she came to the door. I was standing in side the door. Jessie came in as I in vited her to do. I opened the screen and stepped back and she came in and sat down on the lounge, on the north side of the room. I sat down in a chair on the west side of the room, by the window. "1 then asked Jessie to let me see the letter, but she refused to do so. Jessie then asked me if Olin and myself were friends of hers. I told her that we were certainly not. Jessie asked me if I remembered when she came home from Excelsior Springs that she spoke to me, that I did not speak. I said I had a good reason for not speak ing to her at that time. I told her that I knew how she had been acting had been running into the store. She said she had not been in there but one dozen times. I told her further that she had invited Olin out one night, and that an other night she met him after he had been at our house. Jessie at first de nied all that I told her, but, finding that it was of no use, she then con fessed it all, and then she said: 'Well, you may read the letter.' As she said this she arose from the lounge, and passing in front of me and to my right, looking out of the door, she asked me !f there was anyone about the house. I saw the letter in her left hand when she arose frpm the lounge. "The next thing I knew Jessie Mor rison struck me across the throat with a razor which she had In her right hand. I do not know where she took the razor from. I tried to defend my self the best I could from the blows. I cut my fingers in trying to get the razor from her. I also screamed all I could. Directly some one was trying- to get into the house. She was on top of me. She got off me and cut herself in the throat and arms. I saw her do it. I did not call her in from the street. I could not get the razor away from her. I did not cut her at all. She asked me soon after she came into the house if there was any one else about the house. She asked me that question the second time. "I do not know how many times Jes sie cut me or struck me with the razor, but a great number of times. I had just finished sweeping when I saw Jessie at the gate. Before sweeping I took the rugs to the board walk, where I cleaned and left them. I do not know who fastened the screen, but presume I did. as I usually kept it closed. I make this as my dying statement Clara Wriley Castle." The part eliminated by Judge Aik man follows: "And declare it to be the truth." "I thought I w,uld treat her as a lady." "Jessie at first denied all I told her. but finding that it was of no use she confessed it all and then "I tried to defend myself the best I could from -the blow." "I had just finished sweeping when I saw Jessie at the gate. Before sweeping I took the rugs to the walk, where I cleaned and left them." After ruling on the question. Judge Aikman recalled the jury and the rest of the afternoon was taken up in the examination of witnesses to identify the statement and the accompanying scraps. Among those who identified them were Dr. M. L. Fullenwider, Rev. H. C. Wharton, Dr. M. L. Koogler, Mis3 Edna Wharton, Dr. G. F. Ambrose. Mrs. Roland Wiley, mother of the deid girl, Austin Brumback and Chester Sheldon. The statement and scraps were then in troduced and read to the Jury, after which court adjourned. HAVE THEY OIL P Farmers in Atchison County Think They Have a Rich Lead. Atchison, June 19. Oil is said to have been struck in paying quantities at the old town of Kennekuk, in the north western part of Atchison county; that it spurts forth like a geyser, and while it is not fully ud to the standard for illuminating purposes, it is very satis factory for fuel. A company has al ready been organized at Horton to han dle the oil. and is advertising for tank and tank cars. The story is that sev eral farmers about Kennekuk, made up a purse to bore for oil, being guided by the claim that Thomas Manaken, who settled at Kennekuk when the town was on one of the old western trails, discovered oil in small quantities, but no attention was paid to his discovery, owing to the gold excitement.

A $300 Runaway Makes Things Lively Along the Street Glasco, June 19. A runaway here caused more excitement in Glasco than the town has seen since the tragic end came to the Nebraska gambler who was killed on one of the public streets here a year ago.

The runaway team and binder came in contact with several buggies, almost innihiiatmg them, be sides wrecked the binder so badly that it will have to be sent back to the fac tory for repairs. -It was miraculous that no one was hurt, but Mr. Butler's loss will foot up alone to $300. TO FIGHT THE HESSIAN FLY. Farmers in Ottawa County May Unite to Burn Stubble. Minneapolis, Kan., June 19. The far mers of southeast OttawTa county are organizing for a campaign against the Hessian fly. It is proposed to unite all the wheat raisers in an agreement to burn the stubble of all wheat fields, thus destroying the eggs of the fly, and then to go over the ground with a lister. It is then to lie until late in the fall, as late as October, if possible, when the rows of the lister are to be split and the ground sown to wheat.

Beloit, June 19. A belated rain yes terday was greatly needed for the corn. Showers continued at intervals through out the early morning and greater part of the forenoon. The G. A. R. festival, fair and bazar, which will come off in the Beloit opera house, June 27, 28 and 29, is well under way, and promises to be a great suc cess. The object is to raise means for the extension of the water mains to Elmwood cemetery adjoining the city. Wheat harvest commenced in Mitchell county Monday, but the rain of Tues day has retarded it to some degree. The cror will be a little short, but the increased acreage will more than make up the shortage. Beloit continues "dry," although it was freely given out before the spring election that if the non-partisan ticket was elected the saloons would open at once. Mayor W. H. Mitchell is giving the city a w ise, careful and economical adminlstra tion. The people of Beloit and Mitchell county have already commenced talk ing ui their court house celebration to occur some time in September, the con tractors having guaranteed to turn it over completed to the county on or be fore that time.

CHICiO r to ia y 4 A Constitutional Affection. Sprays, washes, powders, salves, medicated tobacco ana cigarettes, however long and persistently used, do not cure Catarrh. They relieve temporarily the inflammation in the throat and nose, and enable you to breathe more easily and freely, but the con tinual rush of impure blood to these parts keeps up the irritation and ultimately produces ulceration of the glands, when the breath becomes exceedingly offensive and the soft bones of the nose are frequently destroyed. The catarrhal inflammation extends over the entire surface of the mucous membrane, or inner skin tbc stomach, kidneys and lungs are often involved the whole system soon becomes affected by toe rapi-f, absorption of poisonous matter into the blood, and the disease that you bud hopeI to cure with simple local remedies, assumes a dangerous form.

The inflamed membranes and diseased gkmds are healed by the rich, pure blood which is carried to them, and the offensive discharges from the nose, and the terrible headache and neuralgic pains cease.

TOPEKA STATE JOUIINAI "WEDNESDAY EVENING. JUNE 19,-1901;- TAKE JTBACI(. lingoes Attorneys He fuse to Abide by Agreement. Wast to Make Other Objections to Ballots. GIVE FORMAL NOTICE Appear Before Commissioner Larimer Concerning Report Attorneys Exchange Opinions About the Contest Case. Once more the attorneys for Col. Hughes are resorting to every possible technicality in hopes of winning- the mayor contest. It is still apparent that a majority of the ballots cast at the election were for Albert Parker for mayor and that if the objections are sustained, that were made by both sides which apply to ii Parker ballots and 54 Hughes ballots, that Parker will be declared elected unless the 202 double ballots are thrown out. As the Huehes attorneys now fear that their objections to double marked ballots will not stand they have an nounced that they will not abide by the agreement made during the recount to waive certain objections at first made. When the challenged ballots were gone ever and weeded out the attorneys on both sides waived certain objections of a frivolous nature that had been made. The agreement to waive was not signed but was agreed to before Commissioner Larimer as follows: The attorneys for Albert Parker waived the following objections: 1 Extra strokes in crosses opposite names of candidates. 2 The absence of numbers and clip ped corners. 3 Xames written in apparently for candidates. The attorneys for CoL Hughes waived objections to the following: 1 Extra strokes in crosses. 2 Harking opposite blanks with no names written in. 3 Marking of both Democratic and Citizens' tickets except when the dou ble markings are for Parker for mayor. The attorneys for Albert Parker fol lowed the agreement in good faith but Tuesday afternoon when the attorneys appeared befcre Commissioner Larimer to agree upon the form of the report to go before the attorneys for Col Hug-hes, Garver Larimer, announced that they intended to make other objections to the double Parker ballots than the ob jection already made that the ballots should not be counted as they were marked twice. They wanted to go through the double ballots and make other objections. As the attorneys for Parker has parsed many technical ob jections and allowed ballots to be counted for Hughes that could have been objected to had the agreement to waive not been followed, they objected to any such procedure. "If we go through any we go through all." said tj. C. Clemens. "If I make an agreement I abide by it. We under stood we were making final objections." "I know nothing of anything of that kind," said Judge Garver. "I made no such agreement. I intend to make any objections I want when we go before the supreme court." "I told you people that," said J. B. Larimer. "We met here simply to assist the commissioner in his report. If ever the hearing of a case was closed this was," said G. C. Clemens. "If any ballots are going to be counted we will open all." "We don't intend to waive any objec tions," said J. B. Larimer. "That's all there ts to it." Commissioner Larimer read as fol- Intense Suffering From Dyspepsia and Stomach Trouble. Instantly Relieved and Permanent ly Cured ty Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. A Evw Discovery, but Kot a Patent Medi ci ns. Dr. Redwell relates an interesting ac count of what he considers a remarkable case of acute stomach trouble and chronic dyspepsia by the use of the new discov ery, Btuart's Dyspepsia Tablets. TTe s-vs; "The patient wis a man who bad suffered, to ray knowledge, for vears w-ith dyspepsia.

Although Stuarts Dyspepsia Tablets are advertised and sold in drug sto'-es yet I consider them a most valuable n.ldil tion to any physician's line of remedies as they are perfectly harmless and can be given to children or invalids or in any condition of the stomach with nerfer-t safety, being harmless and containing nothing but fruit and vegtiole essences pure pepsin and Golden Seal.

"All bal lots shall be classified when all have been counted and objections made." "The objections rioted on each ballot are just wha t the attorneys made," said K. H. Sempie, one of the tellers. "Didn't you write that order?" said J. B. Larimer, addressing Clemens. "Yes, and the court signed it," said Clemens. "There Is one disputed Hughes ballot objected to as having other than a black pencil mark," said Commissioner Larimer. "But it is black," Bald J. B. Larimer. "I want that to go before the court." "We intend to make every objection," said Judge Garver. "You've got to fish or cut halt," said Clemens. "You're afraid of those 33 ballots in the second precinct of the First ward. You'll have to either make a general objection to. them or specific objections. You can't make both." "Oh, you are so afraid," said J. B. Larimer. "We want to go by the will of the people," said Clemens. "You want the office." "We've got it," said Judge Garver. The controversy was not settled. BONHER SPRINGS CASE 31. D. Beard on's Trial For De manding a Bag of Gold. Kansas City, Kan., June 19. Mr. Warner, the complaining witness, told on the stand yesterday afternoon the story of how ex-Postmaster Beardon demanded $1,000 from him on pain of being blown up. He sain in part: After receiving the letter demanding the money ha read it carefully. "Then what did you do?" the prose cutor asked. "I called some of my friends and neighbors into council with the view of having them advise me what to do." "And what advice did they give?" Warner said that his friends insisted In the capture, if possible, of the sender of the letter and his confederates. He sent his brother-in-law, David Woods, to Kansas City to confer with the post office inspectors and then telegraphed to Kansas City. Kan., for $1,000 in gold in Si, $10 and $20 pieces. The gold, he said, came by express. "What did you do with it?" the pros ecutor asked. "I put it In a bag and the next morning placed it in the window in the bank." "Who put the bag under the side walk?" "I put it there myself." "Did it contain the gold when you put it there?" "No, I emptied out the gold and put in some other stuff of about the same weight." "About what time was it when you put the bag under the walk?" "It was a little after seven o'clock on Tuesday evening; that is, on February 26." "Were you present when Beardon was arrested the prosecutor finally asked. "No, I went into the store where some of my friends were waiting." Warner was cross-examined by Mr. Hale, who questioned him closely con cerning an incident of three years ago, when Warner was almost beaten to death in his home by robbers. The pros ecution had attempted to show irr evi dence that the receipt of the anony mous letter had recalled that assault and Warner had been wrought up by fear for his life and the lives of his fam ily. Hale sought to prove by the bank er's recital of the story that his con duct showed an absence of any fear. He considered fear, or the lack of it, an important element in the Beardon case. After a recess of ten minutes David Woods, brother-in-law of Warner, was called. He is a tall young man, who said he had been engaged in the imple ment business in Bonner Springs for ten years. His entire manner was open and frank. "After Warner showed me that letter I advised him that nothing should be lefc undone to capture the perpetrators of the crime," he said. "I went to Kan sas City, Mo., to see Mr. Fulton, the postoffiee Inspector, and Mr. Halpin, head of the police detectives. They ad vised me as to plans for capturing the criminals. Returning to Bonner Springs, I laid the plans before Warner and they were agreed to. I secured the help of several reputable men, and that night we carried out our plans. Men were stationed at the different roads and streets and four or five were waiting in a store near by." "What did you do?" asked the prose cutor. "I crawled under the sidewalk and lay in a position so that I could keep my eye on the sack." "At what time did you crawl under the sidewalk?" "It was about 20 minutes to 8 o'clock." "How long did you lie there?" "Oh, it was an hour or more, but it seemed like a whole week. The ground was awfully cold." .Woods then told of hearing three men pass down the stairway from the Odd Fellows' hall. It was near 9 o'clock, perhaps a few minute3 after. They came down in single file. He heard them talking, and he recognized the last man as Beardon. "What were these men talking about?" "I heard Beardon say he would have to stop a minute, and as they passed on down the street one of them called back and said, 'Aren't you coming?' Beardon answered in a low tone, 'Not just now," and then they went on." "What did Beardon do then?" "He was standing close up to the Odd Fellows' building at the steps leading up to the walk. He was in a stooping position, with his overcoat thrown around his shoulders. He stepped on a stick or something and it made a noise. He put his foot under the edge of the step and moved it about. Then he reached his right hand under the board as if he was feeling for something." "Was he saying anything?" "He was muttering something. He took hold of the sack and pulled it out and started off with it. At that moment I began creeping out from under the walk. I called on him to halt, and he answered, T won't do it.' I gave a sec ond command, telling him to throw up his hands. This time he turned around and hurled the sack at me, saying, "In the name of God, what are you doing, Dave?' After that we walked together around the building to the place where the other men were standing." Mr. Knright asked Woods if anything else was said at the time. "Yes, I explained to him all of the cir cumstances of Warner receiving the letter and of our plans to capture the sender by putting the sack at the place designated in the letter, and I said, 'you are the person who has come for the sack?'

Would Gire That Eoad Entrance Into St. Louis. ST. LOUIS-TEXAS LINE. Believed That Ft.Scott-Florence Road is a Part of It. Other Railroad Items Both Local andGeneral. It is believed that the Santa Fe Is pre paring to build a line from St. Louis to Texas, tapping on its way the Kansas gas belt. The circumstances which lead to this rumor have not been made public until recently, though the move seems to have been initiated some years ago. The St. Louis, Kansas City Colorado road was chartered by Francis Tiernan and a number of Fort Scott business men, the charter providing that it should be built from St. Louis to the east line of Bourbon county. About the same time another road was chartered, this to build from Fort Scott west through Allen coun ty, the terminus being undetermined, or at least not made public. Simultaneously the Santa Fe acquired terminal property in Fort Scott to the value of about $20,000, and it was then believed that that com pany was behind both enterprises, which should give a through line from Kansas City to Texas. Right of way for-the St. Louis line was secured and in Kansas a number of miles were graded before the financial panic of a few years ago came and upset temporarily the construction of the line. At the same time about 40 miles west was graded out of St. Louis, and since then the charter has not been allowed to lapse. It was transferred par tially, however, to St. Louis capitalists, and now the line is under construction from St. Louis westward. Santa Fe en gineers were in Fort Scott a few months ago and their operations led to the belief that the Santa Fe was still behind the proposed line and that work on it would be resumed. Now it is announced that the directors will hold a special meeting in Fort Scott on Jutie 29, the purpose being to place contracts for the construction and com pletion of the road. In this connecetion it is surmised that the Santa Fe is backing the project an nounced a few days ago to build from Fort Scott to Florence. The theory is that in this way the road would give St. Louis a fresh outlet to Texas and at the same time reach the gas belt of Kansas. GOING TO EUROPE. President Hill of the Great Northern Seeking a Good Time. New York, June 19. James J. Hill, president of the Great Northern railroad, will sail for Europe today on the St. Paul. "When you were in New York before you said you and Mr. Morgan were in control of the Northern Pacific. Are you still in control?" asked a reporter last night. "Just as much as ever so," was the answer. "Has there not been an agreement be tween you and the Harriman interests by which each has secured equal rights in the transcontinental trade over the Union Pacific and Northern PaciHc?" "You may call it an agreement or what ever you like," was the answer. "My in terests and those of Mr. Morgan are per fectly secure. Why, if they were not, do you think I would take this two months' trip to Europe?" "What is the purpose of your visit?" "Recreation a good time; that's all. There is no business in it." "Do you expect to see Mr. Morgan while in London?" "No, he will be on the sea by that time." "What is the cause of the rise in St. Paul?" "Can't tell you." ABOUT HAILED AD PEOPLE.

The attending doctor left Mr. Pingree's bedside at about 11:15, prom ising to return shortly. H. S. Pingree, Jr., who had been watching at his fath er's side for four days, and who has not removed his clothes during that time, noticed a sudden change in his father's condition.

Young Pingree has wired to his moth er and his uncle in the United States not to come to London. The body of the late Mr. Pingree will be embalmed and taken to his home. The diagnosis made by London spec ialists of the cancerous affection of the intestines from which Mr. Pingree suf fered left practically no hope for the patient's recovery.

His potato patch scheme for the relief of the poor of the city was extensively copied and brought him much fame. W'hile governor Mr. Pingree devoted his energies toward securing a law taxing railways and other corporate property on an advalorem basis, instead of spec ifically on their earnings. His efforts resulted in the passage of a law along these lines by the last legislature. Mr. Pingree is survived by a widow and two children, a son and a daughter. TO BRING PINGREE'S BODY. London, June 19. The North German Lloyd steamer Koenigen Luise, which sails from Bremen June 22 via South ampton, June 23, for New York, will take the body of former Governor Ha zen S. Pingree of Michigan, who died here last night. DIDN'T KNOW CURLEY. Ludicrous Mistake Made by a Hack man in Harrison's Home Town. The person in Ottawa who doesn't know "Curley" Harrison should be put on ice and preserved for exhibit as a natural curiosity, says the Ottawa Re publican. Saturday night Curley came in from Topeka as usual to pass Sunday with the folks. He carelessly tossed his grip to a hackman, and saying lacon ically "drive me home," climbed into the vehicle. Cabby took a squint at his face, mounted the box and whirled away. Engrossed in the mental selection of some of his freshest stories for the boys next day, Curley paid little at tention to the course of the hack. He was finally aroused by the stopping of the hack and the polite tender of serv ice to assist in alighting. As he gained the walk the surround ings were unfamiliar in the gathering' gloom. "Say, you," said he to cabby; "where the thunder have you brought me, any how? I don't know this place from Noah's tomb." "Brought you home, sir; ain't you Mike Deasy?" asked the surprised cabby. "Mike Deasy peace to him be blowed. No, sir. You take me home." "Yes, sir beg bardon, sir but where do you live? Who "Drive on!" roared Curley. "I've lived in this town forty years, and if you don't know where my house is, then by thunder drive around town ail night." Cabby worked a rabbit foot and got his fare home.

Conducted by Lida Ames Willis, Mar quette Building, Chicago, to whom all Inquiries should be addressed. The Influence of Good Cheer. All rights reserved by Banning Co., Chicago. When studying the many-sided pha ses of human nature we do not make due allowance for effect, in relation to food and individuals, in developing them mentally and morally as well as physically. Dr. Johnson says "some people have a way of not minding, or pretending not to mind, what we eat. For my. part, I mind very Studiously; for I look upon it that he who does not mind this will hardly mind anything else." There can be no question that the food and the manner of serving it very directly affects man's action, ability, disposition, courage and direction of his mental activity. The kinds of food man eats and the time and manner of eating it determine greatly the amount of hap piness and productiveness of good in this world. MENTAL SUNSHINE. -What may be termed the sunshine of the soui cannot be expected to emanate from an individual whose nutritive or gan are not capable of normally and regularly performing their functions. Some writer has said that an iconoclast is a person suffering from gastritis and there is undoubtedly a close relaton be tween the indiscriminate railings against humanity and an insufficient supply of gastric juices; therefore we should place a higher estimate than we do on the value of a thorough knowl edge of the culinary art and acknowl edge it as a most important factor in all that makes "life worth living," and place the power to make or mar na ture's plans in the hands of the com petent only. One does not have to seek far for the problem of Carlyle, the writer who must have been at perpetual disagree ment with life, and who has handed down through his "Literature of Dys pepsia" his sincere convictions as he saw them in the almost eternal gloom that clouded an otherwise unobscured intellect. At rare intervals when his haunting demon, that "dommed dyspep sia," as he termed it, released him from its power, we catch a gleam of the rare sunshine that the world cannot have too much of. To an excess of ill-chosen and improp erly prepared fare in student days is traced the bitterness of his railings at humanity; the trials and mental and spiritual agonies of Herr Teufels drockh. POOR, AND INSUFFICIENT SUS TENANCE. We cannot cheat nature. Though the stomach will for a long time submit to indignities heaped upon it in the way of strange and unsuitable sustenance, it never fails, sooner or later, to bring the sinner to account. It is said that "we grow like what we eat. Bad food depresses. Good food exalts us like an inspiration." It may be interesting as a study of cause and effect to follow the course of the impoverishing and meager dietary of a student who lives on 11 cents per day, or, on the other hand, the one who indulges "in foods utterly nil suited, and unfitted by bad cooking, for their needs." But we long to warn the deluded victim of the inevitable result and show him the face of the gastric Nemesis, sure to avenge' this sacrifice of natural laws. It may be fortunate for humanity that among these mis guided beings who seem to imagine that intellect grows and is fostered by the fires of its own desires and ambitions, we have few born with the intellect of Carlyle; otherwise we would have fre quent repetitions of "Sartor Resartus" and Herr Teufelsdrockh. THE INFLUENCE OF FOOD AS AN INSPIRER. While admitting the influence a good dinner invariably has upon wit and oratory, we do not advocate gross feed ing, nor do we consider a dinner that is merely pretentious good cheer, no matter what the viands may be, if the dinner is not well cooked and is badly served. But look back to the days of the earl ier style of American cookery, the homely good eating when the brain and hand of the mistress was competent to train others in the art of the prepara tion of plain and simple food's, or she could do so with her own hands. To the excellence of those meats cooked before the open fire, retaining all their juices and gaining in most ap petizing flavor; to the bread that wa3 never sour; the soups and broths that gave nourishment to the body as well as pleasure to the taste, may be attrib uted much of the greatness, wit, charm and eloquence that distinguished a long list of notable and masterly men, who have made America famous and un rivaled in every field where there has been a demand for the highest order of intelligence. Even great men who have been abstemious to an extreme in re gard to their own diet have shown in the splendid banquets they have given their appreciation of the art of enter taining. It is not an indication of grossness for a man to be sensible of the charms of a good dinner, though he need not make it his religion to dine well ac cording to his opinion further than to have a due and conscientious regard for his digestion and physical ,well- ofcmerican osition- N. iC'My to Nov.

A man who has dined well on simple, nourishing and well-cooked foods is at peace with all the world, and sees all men as brothers, deserving the right hand of fellowship Fpite of all his shortcomings. The menjtal sunshine and content radiates outwardly nnl brightens everything that comes within his view. Thus our nature, to lie in fluenced by material as well as spirit ual things, and in the matter of feed ing our bodies as well as our minds we exalt to noble work and deeds or de grade and stupefy by the meats we feed upon. Inquiries Answered. (No attention paid to inquiries not giving nane and address of writer, plainly written.) Mrs. M. D. S. writes: "I have a quantity of maple sugar on hand can I make a syrup from that to be served with griddle cakes and waffles?" You can, by scraping or grating the sugar down and adding about gill of boiling water to each pound of sugar: stand it on the back of the range or over hot water, where it will melt gradually; then strain and bottle for use. It is best to make a little at a time. STRAWBERRY SAUCE. Mrs. S. E. K. requests a recipe for strawberry sauce. Beat two ounces of butter to a cream, then beat in gradually a cup of powd ered sugar. Continue to beat until very white and foamy. Just before serving, crush five or six fine, ripe strawberries, dust with sugar and add them to the sauce, beating them in well. DELMONICO CREAM ROLL. Same writer wishes a recipe for pota toes cooked in this way: Fare and chop raw potatoes very fine: add just enough cream sauce to bind them together. Put them Into a buttered, shallow baking dish and place in a moderately hot oven in a pan of hot water. Cook until the potatoes are done: then roll them over like an omelet; let them stand a few mfmste longer, but do not let then brown. Turn out on a heated dish and garnish with parsley and bacon.

While out of town the State Journal will be to you like a daily letter from home. The strains of "A Hot Time" have departed along with the memories of the wax. Another big steel combine organized to fight the trust has become a part of the colossus. t Who will be the rst to offer Mr. Pearson the use of a newspaper for the purpose of experimenting upon the American people? The man who is trying- to get $25,000 out of Russell Sagre possesses a cour age worthy of a better end than hi3 effort is likely to encounter. Quay fays he has made his last po litical fight. Well, there doesn't seem to be anything in Pennsylvania worth Sighting for that Quay has not corralled already. The president is ready to discharge the "plain duty" to Porto Rico just as soon as be Is shown the figures to prove that the tariff collections are not needed. Some men are born colonels, some nrhieve colonelcies, while others have colonelcies thrust upon them. Members of the first class are most numerous In Kentucky. With Depew and Flatt both pulling for Odell, where is Colonel Roosevelt's support to come from? Two United States senators constitute a hard com bination to go up against. The subject of when the century ends will be discussed no more for nearly a hundred years, but the question of whether the United States is singular or are plural will continue to enliven the dull seasons. The proposition of the Hawaiian eenate committee to abolish the na tional guard and dump the parapher nalia thereunto belonging into the bay is a suggestion worthy the considera tion of some communities on the main land. After being tried three times for murder and convicted once. Dr. Ken nedy, accused of killing Dollie Reyn olds in a New Tork hotel, has been set nt liberty. His guilt xvas established to the satisfaction of a jury and his inno cence never, yet he is allowed to go forth a free man. Is it any wonder that the people so often take the law Into their own hando? Chicago Record-Herald: A promise of belated relief for the farmer's wife is seen in the proposition of Represen tative Frost of Wisconsin to establish a steam laundry at every cross-roads in the state, to which the farmer's washing and ironing may be brought every week. As the state is dotted all over with creameries and cheese fac tories, it would be an easy matter to operate steam laundries in connection with them. There is nothing impossible or visionary about Mr. Frost's plan. It embodies the principle of co-operation which has already been success fully applied to nearly every form of agricultural activity from the old grist and saw mills to the modern creamery. Divest the farmer's household of this form of drudgery and then introduce in the kitchen some of the modern labor saving devices that are used in hotels and the life of the farmer's wife will begin to approach that standard of ease and comfort long since attained by the farmer himself. Indianapolis Journal: The strike of the large number of people employed in the works of the National Cash Reg ister company has been most com mented ou because the proprietors had done alnost everything that could be done to insure the comfort and well being of those employed. The wages paid were the highest, and the build ings are planned on sanitary prin ciples: batlis. libraries and entertain ments were furnished free. The two or three thousand employes were in duced to strike because the company refused to keep on its pay-roll two in competent men and discharged three others whose services were not needed. It was the local "business agent" who caused the trouble, the strike not be ing sanctioned by labor leaders. For tunately the employes have been led to Fee the mistake they were led into and tlikYe returned to their places. TRADE MOVING SOUTHWARD. The growing disposition of our ex porters to distribute through the ports south of New York a part of the export trade which formerly passed through that great city is illustrated by a study of the bureau of statistics figures show ing the exports through the various ports of the United States in the fiscal year 1900. During that year and the months which have followed New Or leans has taken second rank as an ex porting port and has displaced Boston in its position as the second exporting city of the country. The very heavy exportations of cotton and the high price at which it is ex ported has largely increased the value of the exports through th9 southern ports, while it is not improbable that the Galveston disaster may have re sulted in temporarily diverting to New Orleans some of the business which otherwise would have gone through Galveston. The exports from New Or leans in the fiscal year 1900 were $115, S."S,764, the highest figure in the history of the port, except 1S92, and an in crease of J28.000.000 over the fiscal year 1899. During the 9 months of the fiscal year 1901 the exports from New Orleans were $122,234,069, securing for that city a clear and undisputed title to the rank of second In the list of American export cities, the figures for Boston, which for merly held second place, being for the months $81,173,051, or over $10,000,000 less than those of New Orleans. A study of the percentage which each of the principal ports handled of the commerce of the country in 1900 com pared with preceding years develops some interesting facts. Beginning with the port of New York it is found that It handled only 47.03 per cent of the for eign commerce of the country, against 62. 5 per cent in 1S90, 51.4 per cent In 1S96, and 48 per cent in 1897. Boston did not make a satisfactory record either in its imports or exports during the fiscal year 1900, and the 9 months' figures for the present fiscal year already received show a shrinkage of nearly $5,000,000 in its commerce as compared with the preceding year. Philadelphia's percentage of the total foreign commerce of the country has remained almost stationary in the last four years, having been 5.25 per cent in 1S97, 5.31 in 1S99, and 5.80 per cent in 1900. Baltimore has gained both in imports and exports. Its share of the total for eign commerce of the country in 1900 was 6 per cent, as against 5.35 per cent in 1S97 and 4.S per cent in 1S95. Newport News shows a rapid growth in its export trade, which in 1900 rep resented 2.5 per cent of the total ex ports of the country, as against 2.1 per cent in 1S97, and less than 1 per cent in 1S93. Its imports have also increased materially, being in 1900 more than 8 times those of 1S94, but forming, how ever, less than 1 per cent of the total imports into the country. The Gulf ports increased their expor tations materially, especially in cotton, wheat and flour. Galveston increased her exports over those of last year about $7,000,000, and New Orleans in creased hers about $28,000,000. New Or leans also materially increased her im ports, which in 1900 were $5,500,000 greater than in 1S99. GLOBE BIGHT3 tFrom the Atchison Globe. A woman never realizes the trouble and work necessary to get hold of a dollar. If you don't intend to marry the girl, keep away, and give others fellows a chance. We always like to keep away from a town noted for what is known as "hos pitality." When a boy is not invited to a party he hangs around the outside to see how things are going. Of course people abuse you unjustly now, but think how popular you will be after you are dead. The women now know what it is to worry about bugs: the bugs have at tacked the sweet peas. Put a woman's clothes on a man, and give him a baby to take care of, and how awkward he would feel. A worthless man at Omaha commit ted suicide lately, and that was the only thins he ever did that attracted favorable comment. In addresses to girl graduates, the "problems of life," are not called by their proper names: cooking, dishwash ing and sewing. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. The lumberman has to work for his board. The seamstress isn't always what she seems. Some June days are rare, and some are positively raw. Too many men screw up their cour age with a corkscrew. When a man is dry he usually takes something to wet his appetite. The man who Is his own best friend may also be his own worst enemy. Getting into debt is like getting into a rolling chir. One is pushed for money. Some people are so clumsy they can't drop a remark without breaking their word. Fame often depends upon a pull. Over in New York they have a haul of Fame. Scribbler "Literature certainly has Its drawbacks." Scrawler "Return postage, eh?" jayhawxek joxa Neodesha fears the loss of the rail road division point. A carload of walnut logs will be sent from Augusta to Europe via New Or leans. Leavenworth letter carriers have blossomed out in drab flannel shirt waists. Webb MeNall and W. Y. Morgan are short grass plutocrats doing the Buf falo exposition. West Point has decided that Captain O. M. Carter couldn't answer roll-call at two places and his name has been dropped at the military school. A gang of Italian section hands struck at Le Roy the other day and left town because their boarding boss re fused to give Uiem macaroni three times a day. It seem appropriate that the oldest continuous police officer in the state should reside in the arcadian city of Lawrence, where nothing ever happens to wake a man up. A Baxter young lady was so proud of her fir? beau that she hung a light ed lantern near the hammock so all the neighbors might know. And she won ders why he never called again. A colored man arrested at Atchison charged with knocking down a mule, declared the allegation false. He said the animal was affectionate like a cat, only it laid down when "stroked" in stead of arching its back. The first carload of watermelons hadn't been in the Emporia yards five minutes when a colored man broke In and carried out three and devoured them. "They hypnotized me jedge," he said In court. "I jess done was pow'less to keep my hands off." A spectator at a Fort Scott ball game happened to be in the line of a tremen dously hard three-bagger which landed on his vest pocket. He was surprised to find himself practically uninjured, but nothing save the carats of his $150 watch could be found. GIVESHERSI5,000 Jar j Allows Barbara Tauer Foil Amount Asked.

LTp to today, the Topeka free em ployment agency has sent out 300 la borers to the Kansas wheat fields. The rush is about over now, for after Thurs day the reduced rates on the railways will cease to be operative. The Topeka office has been very busy assigning men this week. People came here from Holton, Valley Falls. Oska loosa, Meriden, Lecompton, Carbon dale, Dover, Silver Lake and other points, and were assigned to towns to work. Sherm Williams, the employment agent, says that most of those who ap ply for work are not possessed of much money, and have to figure closely to rake together enough to pay their rail way fares to the towns where their services are needed. Not many colored men are sent to the harvest fields. Out of the 300, only a dozen were negroes. Negroes are not in great demand among the farmers, and besides, most of the negro laborers in Topeka have all the work they want here in the city grading for the pave ment, street cars, and water pipes. Workmen have been sent from To peka to the following points: Hayes City. La Crosse. Rush Center, Kinsley, St. John, Great Bend, Lorraine. Wilson. Dorrance, Delphos, Bennington, Niles, Abilene, Salina, and Ellinwood. WAIT IN PEMTENTIARY. Chris. Stegman of Hays City Must Start on Sentence. The supreme court this morning de nied a petition for stay of sentence of three and one-half years in the peni tentiary imposed on Chris Stegman, of Hays City. Stegman has asked the su preme court to order a retrial of his case, on account of new evidence dis covered, but he will have to start in on serving his sentence until the motion is determined. The case was In the supreme court before on the original conviction. The louver court was sustained then. The district court has just denied a new trial and this brings the case up again as an action by Stegman against the state. Stegman was convicted of forgery in the third degree. A bail bond for costs in an action bore the signature of Geo. Konrade, Stegman's hired man. Kon rade denied the signature. Stegman's new evidence is by witnesses that say they saw Konrade writing on a piece of paper in Stegman's presence the day the bond was dated and others to whom Konrade admitted that he had signed the bond but denied it on account of a quarrel. KILLED FOR AGQQSE. Mrs. Jessie Miller Shoots Her Next Door Neighbor. Muskogee, I. T., June 19. At Clarks- ville, Mrs. Jessie Miller last evening shot and killed her next door neighbor, Mrs. M. L.

It may develop so slowly as to cause little U any disturbance during the whole period of childhood. It may then produce irregularity of the etoraach and bowels, dyspepsia, catarrh, and marked tendency to consumption before manifesting itself in much cutaneous eruption or glandular swelling. It is best to be sure that you are quite free from it, and for its complete eradica tion you can rely on Hood's Sarsaparilla The best of all medicines tor all humors.

Senator Allison's Reply to Gov ernor Shaw. Des Moines, la., June 19. Governor Shaw received a letter at 2 o'clock this afternoon from Senator William B. Allison in reply to the telegram sent last Saturday suggesting the name of the senator for the presidency. The let ter is purely a personal one, the gov ernor states, and he does not desire to make the entire contents public at the present time. The governor admitted that thesenator stated in the letter that under no circumstances would he be a candidate for the presidency, but as sured Mr. Shaw that he was in favor of his being a candidate, and believed that the state of Iowa owed it to the governor to support him and send a delegation to the national convention to that end.

AVitness Tells How to Look Orer Ulock of Buildings. AVOOD UNDER THE BAN. He No Longer Wears a Jaunty, Debonair Air. Mr. H. Swartz, Jointist, Ap peals From $300 Fine. Judge Lindsay went to the newsboys' picnic at Lecompton today, so the mar tyrs of the liquid cause and other vic tims of the eagle eyed police are having a brief respite. Tuesday afternoon Judge Lindsay handed down a fine of JIM and 60 days for Mr. H. Swartz, dispenser of whisky straights, beer and seltzer water. Mr. Jude Lindsay Goes to a Fienic. Pwartz said he would appeal, the court believed him, wrote O. K. on his bond and let him go. W. W. Harvey, attorney for the de fense, raised a question of vital im portance in this case. It was this: Couid the witness look diagonally across a block of buildings and see a wagon unloaj beer kegs at the door of Mr. Swartz's place of business. Mr. Harvey tragically announced that it was a physical impossibility. The court however, did not let a little thing like that deter the strong- arm of jus tice, and Mr. Swartz passed under the ban of justice with a. smiling face. "W.

Judge Lindsay said he would think it over while picnicking and pive his decision after he returned providing he is able. On cross-examining the city evidence collectors, Cawker and Braine.

"Yep," replied the amateur detective. "You purchased this beer with money furnished you by the chief for that ex press purpose?" "Uh huh." "That will do," and Harvey looked benignantly wise. This had no visible effect on his honor of the police court but Mr. Harvey knows that it cuts a wide swath when the case is appealed and hence his look of superiority. O. C. Chesney, who is young in years but old in the joint business, will know what he is scheduled to appeal when Judge Lindsay gets back to business. John Mason, colored, was fined $3 for partaking too freely of wine when it was red or that other familiar am brosia of the hoboes known as "white horse" and as he had no money, the court turned him loose with instructions to earn the same and call again Satur day nigrht.

Washington, June 19. The war de partment today trade public two tele grams dated yesterday, relating to the alieged clothing frauds at San Fran cisco. The first is a message from Gen. Corbin to Gen. Shatter asking for in lormation on the subject and stating that "it is desirable from every point of view, that detailed facts of any im portance be given the department be torebeingexpioited in the newspapers." Gen. Shafter's reply is as follows: "Reference to your telegram today, I have refrained from making a report regarding clothing seized by Cal. Maur. because the quantity was very small and it all appeared to have come from the same man, a junk dealer who did business around the Presidio. The clothing had evidently been sold to this peddlar by soldiers, and recruits. The junk man and his son who sold it have been arrested by the federal authorities and their case is being considered by the federal grand jury today. "There is no shortage in any of the departments. This seized clothing un doubtedly represents the accumulation of articles which have been sold from time to time during the past year or two by the thousands of soldiers who have passed through San Francisco. 1 do not regard this matter as of any im portance, though it has been widely ex ploited by the sensational newspapers. However, the seizure of these articles and the arrest's made will have the ef fect. I think, of discouraging the pur chase or sale of soldiers wearing ap parcel in this vicinity hereafter. "Following is an exact list of the ar ticles seized: p.lankets. 11 pairs: leg gins, 5 pairs'; blue tlannel shirts. 4S; blouses, 1; gauntlet gloves, 2 pair; black caif-skin shoes, 77 pairs; tan and rus set shoes. 53 pairs.

The great French actress is very angry and thus comments on it to an interviewer: "It is a shame to refuse me, the creator of the role. It could not interfere with his riahts: it would only render them the more valuable. I fancy that many English playgoers wiio w-ould see me in it would afterward go to see Mrs. Lewis Waller, who acts the part admirably, in order to make comparisons.

The attention of Judge Henderson M. Somerville, chairman of the board of classification of the United States general apprais ers, was called lately to the statement of M. de Witte, the Russian minister of finance, on the Russian sugar de cision. Judge Somerville wrote the opinion of the majority of the board in the decision made last April, holding that the laws of Russia bestowed an indirect bounty on the exportation of her sugar products, within the meaning of section 5 of the present tariff act. He stated among other things when questioned about M. da Witte's recent observations: "The question as to the construction of the Russian law governing the pro duction and exportation of sugar is purely a legal on". The legal aspects of the subject seem, however, to be en tirely overlooked, in the political and fiscal attitude it has assumed under the retaliatory tariff war which Russia is waging against American industries. The criticisms of Secretary Gage's ac tion in this matter are exceedingly un just and are manifestly based on a shallow view of the law governing the official duties of the secretary of the treasury. In the first place M. de Witte is mistaken in the assertion that the secretary based his ruling merely upon the report and opinion of the American consul, Mr. Holloway. He had before him the Russian law and regulations, in all their intricacies of purpose and phraseology, and passed fully on the merits of the question. "The policy of Russia in refusing to discuss the subject," Judge Somervilla continued, "has been followed up by a recent order of the minister of finance, made since the board's decision, forbid ding the prices of the transferable cer tificates any longer to be quoted in the stock markets. Can the purpose of this action be otherwise than to conceal from the courts in this country evidence of a kind which goes to establish the existence and exact nature of the Rus sian government bounty on sugar? The recent convention of American manu facturers held at Detroit readily per ceived the remedy for the existing evils (if any) disturbing trade and exciting a tariff war between this country and Russia. They placed the responsibility where it belongs and called on the con gress of the United States to modify section 5 of the Dingley tariff act, knowing that it is for that body and not for the courts to amend or repeal laws by legislation. The judicial func tion is confined to construction and does not permit legislation." WATCHES BUROLARS WORK Policeman is a Witness to a Largs Theft of Tea New York, June 19. With a police man for a spectator two burglars early today carried out more than 600 chests of tea, valued at from JS.000 to $10,000, from the warehouse of Benjamin J. Hill in Williamsburg, loaded them on four double trucks and then escaped. All but 110 chests were recovered. Po liceman Richard Owens was walking his beat when, as he reached Hill's warehouse, he saw four double trucks backed up to the curb and two men dressed in overalls working indus triously carrying out chests of tea from the warehouse and loading them on the vehicles. As Owens came up the burg lars greeted him cheerfully and, off hand, made the remark that they were at work unusually early so as to fill a rush order. Owens swallowed the bait and went on measuring sidewalks and trying locks along his beat. Making his tour, Owens came around again and still the men were working hard, the perspira tion pouring down their faces, notwith standing the cool breezes of the morn ing. Mechanically he noted down the name and address on one of the trucks and it was this memorandum that en abled the police to trace the tea when the proprietor came down later and found that he had been robbed. The thieves have not been found. Phonetic Poem on the New York Central. N. Y. C. H. R. R., No 1 1-ders what U R. From Gr8 N.

TOUR OF INSPECTION. Officials of V. S. Steel Corporation Find Plants in Good Condition. New York, June 19. The members of the executive committee of the United States steel corporation who have just returned from their trip of inspection, give a favorable account of the condi tion of the various properties visited. These included the Federal Steel com pany's plant at Johnstown, the Lorain as well as the Joliet works and the great mills at Pittsburg and McKees port belonging to the Carnegie and the National tube companies. In addition several of the large mining propertied in the Lake Superior region were visi ted and also the Connellsville coal fields. Many of the committee when questioned stated that the plants were all in good condition. The everul con stituent companies during the past year had, he said, expended considerable sums in Improvements and extensions with the result that the properties hud been brought up to a high. Ktate of ef ficiency. Judge Gary said that It was probably true that the United States Steel company would not spend so much this year, In enlargements as was expended last year by the general com panies because the consolidation of thj various properties made it unnecessary to carry out several plans for exten sions which had been decided upon by some of the individual conipani.'fl There was, however, he said, considerable work to be done under appropriations which had been made some time ago by the constituent companies.

Trego-Ellis Investors Are Very Much Encouraged. Pin Faith to Gage Process of Extracting Gold. TI10M $20 TO $10 A TON. That Is AVhat Chemists Say Can Be Secured. Prof.Lorewell Encouraged With Iteeent Experiments. The Topeka people Interested in the Trego-Ellis shale lands are greatly en couraged over the recent experiments with a new process for extracting gold. The local people interested say that this Question is really solved at last, and that the only problem of how to ex tract gold from Kansas shale la at last overcome. The encouraging results have been secured by the Gage process of extract ing gold and siKer from the western Kansas shale. For over a week experiments have been in progress at the assay office of J. T. Luvewell for the purpose of deter mining whether the cyanide process in vented by Mr. Oae;e would produce as wonderful results lr Mr. Gage's ab sence as it would when he was there t personally conduct the experiments. The results, the chemists say, are such as to warrant the belief that the prec ious metals can be saved from the shale to the amount of from $20 to $10 a ton. It is likely that those who are inter ested in the Gage process will at once construct a mill in Trego county, on the Smoky river, and endeavor to make fortunes out of the shale. The cyanide process of concentration costs about $1 a ton. and it is therefore necessary to secure only small values of metal to make the scheme, a great financial success. If $30 a ton in gold and silver can be extracted from the shale, and 1"0 tons a day are treated at the mill, the immensity of the profits can be Imagined. The experiments which are being made to test the new process are very interesting, and are also very secret. The process itself is secret, and the tests are all conducted behind locked doors. Aside from Mr. Gage, only one man hns been informed of the full de tails of the process. This man is Mr. Love well, who is acting as the repre sentative of the shale land owners in the investigation of the Gage process. Mr. C'.sge says that he prefers to keep his process a secret rather than to place it under the protection of the patent laws. Mr. Gage is a mining expert, having spent his whole life thus far in mining work. He is a graduate of several American universities, and has studied chemical work m the universities of C4ermany. Recently he has been en gaged in mining work in the Galena tine field. The Gage process has been vised on 300-pound lots of Kansas shale in the tests which have been in progress. It is stated that out of a tub containing 100 pounds of the shale, silver buttons as large as a dollar and gold beads worth over $1 apiece have been re peatedly secured. The people who are Interested in the work are rapidly com ing to the conclusion that there is no "fake" about the Cage process. The investigations, however, will be care fully conducted until every shadow of doubt is removed. Mr. Gage is to receive $10,000 for the privilege of using his process, provided the report of Mr. Lovewell is satisfac tory to the members of the company. Mr. Gage will also receive a rovalty on the profits of the plant. Among those interested in the company are several well known Kansas capitalists who can secure unlimited funds for carrying forward their plans provided the question of the reliability of the process is determined satisfactorily..

A GOOD SITE F0U9ID For a Dam Across the San Juan River in Nicaragua. Correspondence of Associated Press. 1 Managua, Nicaragua, June 14. The engineers of the Isthmian Canal com pany, after borings, have condemned two of the proposed sites for the dam across the San Juan river in the event of an interoceanic canal being con structed, but have discovered another proper and convenient site. At this point a stratum of rock extends across the river, a few feet below the bed and extends into the banks on each side. There are over 8,000 acres of cotton planted this year in Nicaragua. The planters now estimate that they will be able to sell the product at ii cents per pound, Nicaragua currency, or about a cent and a half gold, at the present rate of exchange. The plant ers are inexperienced in regard to the cultivation of cotton, and it is pointed out that they will find the all the year cultivation and working of the plant to be in direct opposition to their usual agricultural custom of working during only one-fourth of each year. The la borers, it is added, will not submit to constant daily labor, and they are not numerous enough to be relieved by re lays. I51PLE21EXT MEN MEET. Manufacturers of Farming Tools in Convention.

Harmonization of the Great liailroad Systems Of tie West and Northwest Is Completed. ST. PAUL WILL STAND. No Change In Its Legal Status is Contemplated. Northern Pacific Will Be the Great Connecting Link. New York, June 19. The Herald says: Far-reaching plana involving the pacification and harmonization of the great railroad systems in the west and northwest have practically been completed. On very high authority it may be stated: First There will be no further con solidation or passing of legal control of great railroad systems of the west. Second There will be no interchange of securities. Third There will be no change in the legal status of the St. Paul and the northwestern systems. Fourth The great capitalists now in control of the Union Pacific group, the Northern Pacific group, the St. Paul system, and the Northwestern system have extended and solidified the com munity of interest plan and while not acting as a syndicate or a committee will co-operate in a manner which will preserve peace. The arrangements will be stronger than any of the old-time gentleman's agreement." The great capitalists will be in a measure a gen eral board of arbitration. Much has been heard within the last few days of a consolidation of the Union Pacific system and the St. Paul road, in which the Chicago North western was also interested. It was stated that there was to be a purchase of the control of the St. Paul road in the interests of both the Union Pacific and the Chicago Northw-estern in the pursuit of the community of interest scheme. This it is authoritatively learned is not contemplated, but on the other hand a sufficient interest in the stotk of the St. Paul road will be acquired by the syndidate of arbitrators which will fully insure the harmony of interest plans now so nearly completed. The roads which will enter under the control of the central management are the Union Pacific roads, the Chicago, Milwaukee St, Paul, the Chicago Northwestern on the one hand and the Northern Pacific group, composed -of the Northern Pacific, the Great North ern and the Chicago, Burlington Quincy on the other. The binding link between these two immense systems is the Northern Pacific. It 'is expected that when the names of the Northern Pacific's new directors are announced the full significance of the present far reaching plans will be fully under stood. BRYAN ON LECTURE TOUR.

Major Tom Anderson will make an address at the annual festivities of the cattlemen in the southwest part of the state this fall. The "doins" will be held at Kingman, in Pratt county, but the date has not yet been announced. The Kingman Courier says of the coming event: "The old soldiers will be out in great numbers and judging from estimates made there will be fully a thousand civil war veterans present to take pavt in the reunion. The cattlemen have Eet apart a liberal fund for the use of the old soldiers to be expended by them for the necessary supplies for a genu ine army bean bake, in which hard tack, sowbelly and beans will consti tute the principal bill of fare, reinforc ed by good, black, strong coffee in tin cups. A camp fire will be held to be addressed by Major Tom Anderson, of Topeka, and other notables. The Mo docs, of Topeka, known all ovr the world as the best male glee club on earth, will be here also.and 'Old Shady' and other popular airs of war time will be rendered by them. It is worth the trouble of a hundred mile trip any time to have a chance to listen to these no ted singers. Suffice it to say there will be plenty going on the first day to in terest everybody." INDORSED BY MORGAN Female Suffrage Movement in Ala bama to Offset Negro Vote. Montgomery, Ala., June 19. When Delegate B. H. Craig, from Dallas county, where the negroes outnumber the whites four to one, introduced into the constitutional convention his ordi nance allowing white women to vote, it was taken as a Joke. He has been work ing on it seriously, however, and is in receipt of two letters from Senator John T. Morgan giving full and cordial indorsement to the proposition. The senator sees that the convention will hardly go as far on a brand-new scheme of this sort as to give the bal lot outright to women, and advises that the plan be modified so as to empower the legislature to admit all white wo men whenever they shall be needed as a counterpoise to the negro vote. He believes that the time will come when the whites will feel the need of the double strength and then intimates that woman suffrage is a good thing on its merits. "Women never have been, and never will be, degraded by the use of the bal lot," says the senator. He makes a le gal argument to sustain the constitu tionality of white female suffrage, hold ing that leaving out the negro woman is not in conflict with the amendments to the constitution, which had in con templation only males. Mr. Craig will modify his ordinance bo as to leave the matter to future legislatures. He has a good following in the convention, which, prior to Senator Morgan's bold stand, has held back through fear of being laughed at. Only $19.00 to Colorado and return via the Santa Fe.

Mr. Shaw Says It Will Be Com pleted by July. This Will Afford Fire Protection to This Locality. The Topeka Water company is mak ing an important extension of its mains into the dry district at the west part of town. From Thirteenth and Buchanan streets, which is the western limit of the present water supply, the mains will be extended to the Washburn college grounds. The workmen are now digging for the mains on College avenue. Here the pipes will be put in place before the pavement is laid, and thus save tear ing up the pavement later on. The pipes from Thirteenth and Buchanan to the college will be six inches ,in diameter which will give the college and other buildings on the line plenty of fire protection. Jesse Shaw says that he thinks that by the middle of July the line to the college will be completed. This will be another immense improvement to the west side of town, which now needs only a good sewer system to complete its metropolitan acquirements. The Water company does not appear to be greatly worried over the prospects of city ownership, and confiscation of its plant. It is not only extending its mains to the college, which is a distance of ten blocks, but it is also building sev eral other extensions of a block or more each. Elmwood avenue, in the Sixth ward, has just been fixed up with wa ter mains. TRIUMVIRATE CREATED. It Will Deal Out Rapid Transit Franchises in Pennsylvania. Harrisburg, Pa., June 19. The house passed finally on special orders today the two bills supplemental to the rapid transit acts signed by the governor re cently. These bills were introduced and passed in the senate last week, and they now go to the governor for his ac tion. The one constituting the gov ernor, secretary of state and attorney general a board to pass on applications for rapid transit franchises, was at tacked by several anti-administration Republicans and Democrats. In the course of a speech Mr. Coray, of Lu zerne, a Republican leader of what is known as the "insurgent" element, said: "Two weeks ago the office of secre tary of the commonwealth presented a scene which will go down in history. There were a lot of hungry parasites and a lot of millionaires present in obedience to the orders they had re ceived to raid the treasury. "They carried away valuable fran chises, and now it is proposed to pre vent others from getting similar fa vors by placing the power to grant them in the hands of a board." Mr. Coray said the people were op posed to the rapidity with which these bills were passed by the legislature. "The tine will come," he concluded, "when the people will sweep your in fernal machine off the face of the earth." Mr. Hall, Republican, of Allegheny, said this legislation is a very poor climax to what has already been en acted. Mr. Mayne, Democrat, of Lehigh, characterized the legislation as in famous, and protested against its pass age. He said this legislation had be come a stench and byword to the pub lic, and that its only chance to redeem itself was by defeating these bills. Mr. McClain, Republican, of Lan caster, said in defense of the measure that many applications were made at the state department for charters that were to be used for purely speculative purposes, and this bill is to prevent such speculation in charters. The bill passed by a vote of 105 to 65, receiving in its favor only two more than the requisite number of votes. The counting of a member not present as voting "aye" w-as challenged, but the speaker said the vote did not affect the result, and no further action was taken. 1 BRISTOL IS FINED. Traveling Man With Two Wires Must Pay $72. William Bristol, the St. Joe traveling man who was arrested on- the charge of having two wives, pleaded guilty in the city court this morning and was fined $50 and costs, amounting to $22, a total of $72. Blanche Bristol, his Tooeka wife, was fined $1 and costs, which are included in the costs charged against Bristol. Bris tol was taken to the county jail, as he was unable to pav the fines and costs, but he expects to raise the money today and be released. WAYLAY THE TRAINS, Farmers Prevent Harvest Hands Reaching Destinations. Director of Free Employment Gerow has to wrestle with problems of getting harvest hands to the destinations they start out for. The men are, of course, free agents and can drop off the train anvwhere that work and good money is offered. Three hundred and seventeen men have been started out from the Fort Scott bureau. Many of them are lost, as far as keeping the records go. For in stance 3S were booked for Sterling. Just 11 landed there. Stories come in that farmers wavlav the trains whene men are needed and take them off without waiting for red tase. Another factor looms up in the harvest hand situation. Havs City sent word that &x hands would be needed June 25. The rate expires June 20. but the employment people aer expecting that the limit will be people are expecting that the limit will be bv the cold wave in May in many sections of the state and some men are landed too soon.

Policeman Prevents Suicide of Alice Perrin. Made Desperate Attempt to Jump From Melan Bridge. IS TIRED OF LIVING. Says She is a Burden to Her Relatives. Talks Calmly of Her Attempt to End Life. Mrs. Alice Terrin, who lives at 213 East Fourth avenue, attempted to com mit suicide this morning at about 8 o'clock by jumping from the Melan arch bridge which spans the Kaw river at Kansas avenue. She was nrevented from accomplishing her end by Officer Eoyles, who after a slight struggle overpowered her and took her to the police station. The cause for her at tempted suicide is assigned to despond ency brought about by a long standing Bickness of an irritating nature and an inability to work for her own liveli hood. She had been hanging around the neighborhood, acting queerly, for a few moments before she attempted to jump from the bridge, and Officer Mrs. Perrin Attempts to Jump from the Bridge, Boyles' attention was called to her. He watched her, and when she climbed over the railing preparatory to drop ping off into the water 30 feet below, he made a dash and caught her. The officer held the desperate woman dangling in the air and succeeded in dragging her back over the railing. Mrs. Perrin's case is a sad one. She was adopted by Mrs. William Perry, whose husband at one time owned a stone quarry at Cottonwood Falls, at the age of 15 years. She married a stepson of Mrs. Wm. Perrin, in 1893. He died five years after, in 1898. They were the parents of one child, which however did not live. Since that time Mrs. Perrin has been in pcor health. One year ago last October she was married for the second time, to Gold Cunningham. She lived with him for six months, after which time she ap plied for a divorce, and it was granted. "I have no more idea who my parents are than you have," she said to a Statu Journal reporter who called to see her after she was placed in the care of Police Matron Mrs. Thorpe. "Why did you attempt to commit suicide?" she was asked. "It was because J was tired of liv ing," she answered with eome force. "I have been suffering for a long time, and have been in misery for so long that I wanted to end it all. I have not been able to work and am a burden on mv mother, who this morning com plained that I had disturbed her more than usual last night, so I left the house this morning before breakfast and walked to the bridge, where I in tended to drown myself." "Tou won't try to commit suicide again if we take care of you?" asked Mrs. Thorpe. "No," she answered. Before leaving home this morning she wrote a letter, which she left in her trunk. She said: "I am of no good to anyone, so I have decided to end my life. If I am not at home by night you will find my body in the river. God bless you, and may we meet in heaven. ALICE." During the past four years she has suffered with epileptic fits. She has during that time taken treatment at four different hospitals, the Salvation Army and Christ hospitals in Topeka. and Bethany and St. Margaret's in Kansas City. She has received no per manent benefit at any of the institu tions. "I left Christ hospital this spring." she said, "after being there about six months. Mrs. Thorpe secured several places for me to work, but I have not been strong enough to keep any of them. Only a week ago I got a place to work at Pauline. I thought I would be able to do the work, but after I got there and worked a couple of days I realized that it was too hard for me, and had to ccme back. "My mother has no money to take care of me. She is 55 years old. and earns her own living, so that I hate to be a burden on her. If I could get some little sewing to do so that I coul.l help support myself I would be all right. But it is enough to make any one worry to death to know that they are of no account to anyone and a burden to some." Mrs. Wm. Perrin, the foster mother, will ask to have her daughter sent to an asylum. GOOD JOKE 0 EDWARD. Sir Thomas Lipton Tells Funny Story About the King. London, June 19. Sir Thomas Lipton is telling a funny story about King Edward. He avers that the king said to him: "Look here. Sir Thomas, if you will do this for me I will give you an order." "Oh, sir," responded Sir Thomas, "this is too kind. It will do me a lot of good. I will have a price list sent to you at once." The kinsr meant a decoration, of course, not an order for tea. To Revise Geneva Convention. Berne, June 19. The president, M.

He hoped the delegates would meet in 1902. Pope Says Goodbye. Rome, June 19. The pope today re ceived Cardinal Gibbons in farewell audience. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, June 19. WHEAT Disappoint ing cables and goo crop prospects again combined te lend a weakening influence to the wheat market today, and the open ing for September was easier and c down, at 6s3m'iijS'1c. There wa-s plenty of wheat on sale during the earlier part of the session, the greater portion of which was for September delivery, tho latter month now having displaced July in the interest of traders. Fears that the heavy rains in Kansas might interfere with the harvesting of the crop in that section was somewhat of a strengthening factor, and September firmed up to SViic. Minneap olis and Duluth reported 22 cars against 2bv cars last week and 3ol cars a year ago. Local receipts were 43 cars. On reports of damage by rains in the southwest and helped by a good cash de mand, September advanced to 6!wi 69V;C. At this appreciation there was some profit taking, resulting in a reaction to tis-'ao. Buying for export caused a rally, and the close was steady and a shade lower, at 6ic.

The reactions which took place in yesterday's stock market were little more than what mitflit be ex pected after the advances of last week and Monday. There was nothing in the news to cause disturbance, and ac-iuaiiy most of the developments of ttie day wro of a favorable nature, although there was tiguring on shipments of gold to Europe, no engagements were maue. It may be that there will be a consider able shipment bv toinorroA-'s steamer, but it is noeworthy that the foreign exchange market closed weak on the pressure of bills which had been sold against pro posed exports. This characteristic t.f the exchange market was lacking on Monday, when a iirm tone wa.3 maintained even after arrangements were made for tho shipment of over four minion dollars. Thursday's German steamer will be the last one which can depart in time to reach Berlin so as to figure in the semi annual statement of the Imperial bank of Germany or to produce any other senti mental effect In the German capital. It hardly seems probable that exports of gold to Germany will continue utter thU week. The crop news yesterday continued to be unusually encouraging. The week ly weather report of the Washington bu reau of agriculture indicated a "general and decided impiovement in the condition of corn." It is also stated that spring wheat has made rapid advancement and improve ment was noted in the condition' of the oats crop. These conditions carry with them a strong assurance of a heavy vield of Jiay. The harvesting of winter wheat is Tn progress over a large section of thtt country. In connection with the Improve ment noted in the outlook for the crops, we have the fact that prices for cereais have been fully maintained since the cul mination of the sharp bull movement of a week ago. The Mark Lane Express re ports the weather condition in England for the last week as unfavorable, and It is somewhat significant that having of western wheat for Importation Into Franc Is already declared to be taking place. The weekly government crop re port is still further encouraging In that It says that i3 the central and western por- -tlons of thft cotton belt the crop is gen erally improved and well cultivated.

New York, June 19. In a few days the Municipal Art society will report to the board of aldermen suegestions in repaid to street -siena. This subject attracted great attention and many de signs have been submitted to the so ciety. Among the designs one has at tracted notice and received favorable comment. Near the top of the street lamp is the name1 of the street and on the same side is the name of the bisect ing street, printed perpendicularly and at ric-ht ancle to Ihe top lettering. The numbers of the buildinprs at the cor ners are also visible. On the other side of the lamp the lettering is reversed. This ingenious method of indicating streets and numbers can be used on the corners of houses and also posts at street corners where there are no ga3 lamps. PAY FOR OPERATION.

Abbott's wife died after a course of treatment and operation for appendicitis. He put up as a set-off in t'ne trial of the case the loss of his wife at $".00. One item in the doctor's bill is for an operation performed, for which $200 was chare-ed. Abbott claims the operation was never performed; that his wife was subjected to the knife but the operation was discontinued and the vermiform appendix was not removed. Dr. May field has appealed the case to the su preme court. Everybody's liable to itching piles. Rich and poor, old and young terrible the torture they suffer. Only one sure cure; Doan's Ointment.

USEDJICIIAIPh Barbara Tauer Tells of Assault Made by Simon Greenspan. Tried to Kill His Wife While Insane. MRS. SELLS' LNTEXT. Feared She Would Die Before Her Will Was Changed. Mr.llolliday Considered Seryices W orth $5,000 Per Year. The hearing of the Barbara Tauer claim for $15,000 against the estate of the late Sarah Ann Sells for services dating back for 10 years previous to her death, is still being heard in the probate court before a jury. At Tuesday afternoon's session At torney Smith, while questioning Miss Tauer, said: "Do you recall any at tempt of Simon Greenspan to murder Mrs. Sells-Greenspan?" "Yes," said Miss Tauer, "he tried to strike her with a chair and I took it away from him." "Were you afraid of him and was Mrs. Sells afraid of him?" "Yes, constantly afraid of him." "Was he violent?" A. K. Fulford was the first witness called for the claimant at this morn ing's session. "Did Mrs. Sells ever talk to you about Miss Tauer?" asked Attorney Smith. "Yes," replied Fulford. "What did she say?" "She said she would give her Tenth street property to Miss Barbara." "Why did she say she would give It to her?" "Because she 'had been such a good girl to me,-1 was the reason she gave." "Just what did she say?" asked At torney Dana on cross-examination. "She said Miss Tauer had been the one who had staid by her through all." On redirect examination Attorney Smith said, "Miss Tauer conducted Airs. Sells' business for her?" "Yes. She collected her rents and conducted her business for her. In the 18 years I knew her I never saw her on the street out of her buggy more than three times," replied Fulford. "How much rent did Mrs. Sells have collected each month?" asked Attorney Dana. "Between $600 and $700." "Did Miss Tauer do the collecting?" "A good deal of the time she did." David T. Gregg was called and ex amined by Eugene Hagan. "How long have you known Miss Tauet-?" "Since the death of Mr. Sells." "Did you ever observe Miss Tauer's duties, and did you ever talk with Mrs. Sells about Miss Tauer?" "Yes." i "What was the conversation?" "She sent for me to come to the hotel and wanted me to talk with Sinon Greenspan about his mistreatment of Miss Tauer. She said she could not get along without Miss Tauer, who was going to leave on account of Green span's treatment. She said Miss Tauer was indispensable to her. and that she meant to reward her handsomely In her will." "Did you talk with her at any other time?" "Yes, at another time she said Bar bara was like a davighter to her, and she meant to treat her as such and leave her some property." "You know what services Miss Tauer performed for Mrs. Sells?" "Yes." "What were they worth?" "I should say $1,500 or $2,000 a year." "Did you know Miss Tauer was working without pay all these years?" "I did. Mrs. Sells so stated to me." Miss Tauer was recalled to the stand by A. W. Dana. "Can you tell what farms Mrs. Sells owned?" "Yes." replied Miss Tauer, and she described Mrs. Sells' ten farms in Shaw-nee county. "Do you know how many places Mrs. Sells rented in town?" "Yes," replied Miss Tauer, and she named twenty-one properties. "What was the rent roll a month?" "Between $C0O and $700 a month." Col. H. C. Lindsay was called to the stand. "Did you ever have a talk with Mrs. Sells about Miss Tauer?" asked Mr. Hagan. "Yes," replied Col. Lindsay; "she said she could not get along without her. She said she expected Miss Barbara to stay with her to her death and that she meant to handsomely reward her." Did she say anything else?" "Yes, about three months before her death she said she had made out her will when she was mad at everyone on account of criticisms about her mar riage to Greenspan and she said she in tended to make out a new will. At an other time soon after that she told me she had made a new will and had re membered Miss Barbara." "Did Mrs. Sells ever tell you what she intended to do for Miss Tauer?" asked Attorney Dana. "She asked me once which I thought Barbara would prefer, her Tenth street property or a farm near Tecumseh. I said I thought either one." Charles K. Holliday was called. "I was called to Mrs. Sells' house about 4 o'clock one morning about about four or five months before her death. She was afraid she was going to die before morning. She said. 'My God, I must not die, I have so much to do.' She said she fiad not yet changed .the will and that she had left Miss Barbara out." "What do you think Miss Tauer's ser vices were worth?" "At least $3,0x a year to Mrs. Sells," replied Mr. Holliday. Florence, S. C, Nov. 26, 1900. I was first advised by our family physi cian in Charleston to use Teethina with our baby when she was but a very young infant, as a preventive of colic and to warm and sweeten the stomach. Later it was useful in teething troubles, and its effect has been found to be so very bene ficial and so free from the dangers that are consequent upon the use of drugs and soothing syrups, that we have some to re gard it, after use with three children, as one of the necessities when there is a new baby in the house and until the teething troubles are over, and we take pleasure in recommending it to our friends instead of the horrid stuff that so many people use to keep their babies quiet.

His magnificence in his brief, pithy speech has just given us a picture of the progress made by our fatherland in the domain of aquatic sport. My whole task in future will be to assure that the seeds now sown shall spring up in peace and security. Notwithstanding the fact that we, as yet, have not a navy such as we should have, we have won for ourselves a place in the sunshine and it will now be my task to take care that this place remains in our undisputed possession, so thnt the sun's ray may shed its fruitful influence over our trade and intercourse abroad and industry and agriculture at home, and also on the yachting of our waters, for our future lies on the water. The more Germans go on the water, whether on yacht races or voyages across the oct-an. or in the service of the Ger man naval flag, the better it is for us, for once the German has learned to keep an eye on the far horizon, the pettiness sur rounding him in his daily life disappears. If a man wants to get this broad and higher view, a Kanseatic tour is surely the most suitable for him. We have drawn our conclusions from what Emperor Wil liam, the great, and the great man whose monument we have just unveiled left us at their creation. Those conclusions con sist in this that we start at the point at which the old Hnnse has to leave off, be cause it lacked the vivifying and protect ing power of the empire. May it there fore now be the task of my house, in pro found peace, to promote and protect trade and commerce for years to come. I be hold in the events of which China has been the scene, and of which the present return of the troops mark the close, a guarantee that European peace is as sured for long years to come, for the ser vice performed by the Individual contin gents have called forth an appreciation based on mutual eiteem and comradeship which can only contribute to the mainte nance of peace. I trust that profiting by this peace our Hanse towns will nourish and that our new Hanse will mark out a path for winning and retaining new trade." OPEN TO SIUHTSEERS.

Told Mr. Devlin National Would Look Better Painted. Was Not Long in Acting on the Idea. Major T. J. Anderson stood at the foot of the stairway leading to the Commer cial club rooms with several of his friends.., "If a few more Topeka people would follow the example of Chas. Devlin," he said. "In painting their business blocks. Topeka would be a much better looking city. The test thing that could happen to some sec tions of the city would be a big fire, so that the snace now occupied by a few dinky little stores could be re placed by business blocks that would be a credit to the city. But as this Is not to be thought of, the next best thing would be the outlay of a little money In paint. "I was standing In a barber shop one day recently," he said, "and was in con versation with Mr. Devlin. 'Why don't you paint the National hotel building,' I asked. I told him that I had over heard a stranger in town remark only a few days before that Topeka's busi ness blocks looked very bad, and point ed out to him that the brick and stone In the hotel building was considerably stained by the action of the weather." 'I'll have that painted at once," he answered. And he did. "I now see," continued Major Ander son, "that the management of the Copeland hotel has followed In the foot steps of Mr. Devlin and the Copeland is being painted. It is a step in the right direction. A few hundred dollars spent this way will add millions worth in the appearance of the city. It is now time to take up a subscription to paint the front of the Crawford opera house."

A man in Milford, Ind., says he did not quit drinking coffee because he thought it hurt him, but because he found a morning beverage he liked bet ter in Postum Food Coffee, but to his wonder and surprise, he found in a few weeks all of the old symptoms of sick ness had left him. He had been greatly troubled with his stomach and heart, also with what is called "water brash," and dull head aches "which made me very irritable and quick tempered." All of these symptoms disappeared and he discovered, in spite of all his previous theories that coffee was really the cause of his troubles, and th leav ing off of coffee and taking on Postum Food Coffee brought about a perfect cure. He speaks, also, of Mrs. Josephine Kelly, living at Elkhart, Ind. Says shy was afflicted much as he was, but had become aiore emaciated than he.

Prohibiting Pool Selling Won't Stop Great Chicago Race. Chicago, June 19. Secretary Nathan son of the Harlem Jockey club last night Issued a statement calling off the remaining three days of the meeting. Following is the statement: "Our intention was to race out the remaining three days of our meeting without allowing betting, but our at torneys advice is not to race, as such action might be construed as disre spectful to the court's injunction and might injure our case, which comes up on Monday." The decision to close Harlem came as a surprise to the public and to most of the bookmakers. The managers of the track held a conference last night and the above notice was issued. The decision to close the track was the result of Judge Stein's refusal to dissolve Judge Holden's injunction re straining the race track people. There is no doubt that the American Derby will be run- as usual, betting or no betting. It is reported that Chief of Police O'Neill has received certain in structions with reference to the Derby day event, but it is not generally be lieved that the mayor will not enforce the threat made by .him that there will be no betting. Present indications are that the field for the Derby will be composed of these horses: Outlander, The Parader, Water Color, Sadie S., Terminus, Brutal, Bon nibert. Beau Gallant, Alfonso, Lady Schorr, His Eminence, Sennazarro and Royal Victor. Hernando.Silverdale and Ganmore are doubtful starters. Weath er and other conditions may make some change in the forecast of the field given above. POUT HURON TO PITTSBURG System of Suburban Road to Extend Across Three States. Cleveland, CJune 19.

To Show Princess Ilatzfeldt Was Adopted by Huntington. San Francisco, June 19. Ever since mention was made several months ago that secret search had been made of the records of Sacramento county to determine if there was a record of the adoption of Princess Hatzfeldt by the late Collis P. Huntington, there have been persistent rumors that the prin cess has in contemplation a contest of the railroad builder's will. These rumors have been revived by the arrival of Prince Hatzfeldt and the Princess Hatzfeldt on this coast and the fact that the princess has gone to Sacramento ostensibly to visit her mother. The princess, however, dis claims any intention of beginning a contest. With the Prince and Princess Hatzfeldt in their western journey is their attorney, Joseph D. Redding, of New Tork, and his presence here at this time has accentuated the report that legal proceedings of some sort are in contemplation. To all inquiries Red ding persistently replies that he knows nothing of his client's intentions i. this regard, while the prince contents him self with the declaration that iie has nothing to give out at present. It is pointed out that such a contest would "present unusual difficulty, for in order to have the will declared in valid it would be necessary to show that Huntington was of unsound mind at the time he made the will, or that he was under undue influence, or that the will was forged. The will was executed about two years before Huntington's death. Then there is the additional fact that the Princess Hatzfeldt was mentioned in the will and was provided for by giving her the interest on $1,000,000 during her life time, the principal to go to her issue, or failing issue, to such persons as she may by will direct. The princess can not therefore rely on a claim of being a pretermitted child, even if she should produce documentary evidence of her adoption in regular legal form. It is estimated that the Huntington estate has increased forty per cent since his death. It is in the question of residuary legateeship that there rests a bitterness which may force the bringing of a contest, for Henry E. Huntington Is named as residuary beneficiary, and it is possible that he may receive over forty million dollars as his share. In com parison with that figure the $1,000,000 given to the princess appears very pal try and it is not a surprise to her friends that she should express her dis satisfaction. Whether this dissatisfac tion will materialize in a law suit is yet to be seen. There is a clause in the will that says that any one making a con test shall be cut off from all share in the estate, but the will of James G. Fair had a similar revision, and the courts knocked it out. Mrs. Clara Prentice, mother of the princess, asserts, it is stated, that she signed a document relinquishing her authority over her daughter and that Huntington legally adopted the child. No record of this adoption has been found, however. Gossip goes so far to say the contest proceedings will be be gun simultaneously in this city and New Tork. THE SEGRO QUESTION. Henry Clayton Thinks Souh Wilf Continue to Disfranchise, New Tork, June 19. Henry D. Clay ton of Alabama, one of the Democratic leaders of the house and a member of the Democratic national committee, is quoted in a Washington special to the Tribune as follows concerning the gen eral movement in the south for the dis franchisement of the negroes: "We of the south are not afraid to grapple with this negro question as it should be grappled with. Democratic TOpreraacy has been maintained in the 3outh in spite of negro suffrage and that supremacy will be all the more se cure when the blacks are wholly dis franchised, as witness in Mississippi, Louisiana and South Carolina. As to the reduction of our representation in congress and the electoral college be cause of negro disfranchisement, I re gard that as political bluster pure and simple." Cost of Fast Trains.

Stratton Takes Out a Card in a Colorado Union. Colorado Springs, Colo., June 19. Winfield Scott Stratton, who has rein vested $10,000,000 in buying and devel oping Cripple Creek mines, has applied for membership in the carpenters' union of Colorado Springs. "I was a. humble carpenter myself once," he said, in explanation, "and know what it is to work for a dollar a day and oft times couldn't even get that. Unions are elevating; they In crease the respect of labor, compel the respect of employers and enable the union man to get wages that will edu cate his children and fit them for higher and more remunerative walks of life. I am spending $50,000 a month de veloping mining property from which I will not take out a cent in ore untii the full value of the territory is ex plored, and every cent of that mori'-y goes to union labor. I am paying three to five dollars a day when I could hire men for half that price, but it woul-I not be profitable nor right for a for mer working man to take advantage of the necessities of his fellow men."
