Kansas City, Mo., July 13. Not since the present hot spell began have Kan sas City people suffered so severely as they did last night. Thursday night fcad proven almost intolerable but last night the conditions were even worse, the average temperature from 8 p. rn. to 8 a. m. being 91 degrees.

Rain, or predictions promising cooler weather in the south west, caused heavy selling of corn on the board of trade at the opening today and the September delivery after touching &4 cents, declined sharply to 491ic. Wheat and oats also sold lower, the latter drop ping off 3Vi cents. Wheat closed 1 cent, corn 8Vi cents and oats lBB'al7. cent lower. EXCITED IN NEW YORK. New York, July 13. Great excitement prevailed at the New York produce ex change today. The weather map early in the day showed no signs of a let up of the hot spell in the corn belt. The market, however, was top heavy from protracted bull speculations and it only required rumors of rain in Kansas and Nebraska to break the corn market 2'ic in less than ten minutes at New York, while the Chicago market broke 4 '4c, Great blocks of long stuff came out in a steady stream which broke September, the speculative favorite, from 560 to 63ic with the rest of the list off in proportion. Selling was largely by eleventh hour bulls who had but slender margins against their deals while some of the original longs with a good showing of "velvet" took advantage of the break to increase their lines of September on the reactionary theory. It was largely this class of buying that arrested the decline at 53?ie for September which position soon recovered to 54Vsc in the local market and from 49V2c to 61c at Chicago. But the undertone of the market remained very feverish. A dis patch from Washington received before noon stated that no rains had occurred in Ohio or Kansas. This report caused active buying. September oats broke during the ex citement from Z2c to 29 c at Chi cago and only partially recovered when corn showed reactionary tendencies. Wheat was negelected. In the last half hour there was some reaction in both corn and wheat on denials from western points that rain had fallen In the corn belt and on reports from the Iowa weather bureau that tempera tures In that state were higher than ever. Considerable covering of short corn took place on this report but near the close many traders sold out their holdings on account of the uncertain weather conditions and fears of hold ing the grain over until the new w-eek. The close was very unsettled here at Tsiglc on wheat and 2c loss on corn. Heat Doubles Death Rata. New York, July 13. New York City had a death rate of 40. S3 last week, al most double the usual summer rate. This larg-e increase was due to the ex cessive heat that prevailed in the early part of the week. There were 2,767 deaths from all causes against 1,524 for the corresponding week in 1900. Hay Lower. Kansas City, Mo.. July 33. Receipts of hay were heavier todav and there were numerous oft'ers of liberal o.uantities to arrive. The rii-mand was less urgent and prices of praJrie hay declined from onJ; to three dollars a ton. but timothy hav sold as high as yesterdav. Buyers showed a disposition to hold off until next week in the hopes of getting lower prices for a change in the weauier or larger receipts. POLITICALJOSSIP Big Four Now Busy Fixing Up a Slate. List of Combine Candidates Headed by II. E. Richter. LOW FOR U. S. SENATOR Burton Doesn't Want Curtis For a Colleague. Leland Machine to Be Succeeded by More Compact One. George Findlay Must Step Aside For J. M. Simpson. Political signs all lead one way. They say all signs fail In time of drouth. What will happen to the political signs? These signs indicate that the cards are being shuffled for the new dealing, and the dealing is almost here. All that lacks to set up the machine and start it going in the state is to have the federal appointments out of the way. The revenue collector will be announced very shortly, and that will clear the path completely. Next time Senator Burton goes to Washington to look after his senatorial duties, the appointment of J. M. Simp son will be announced. The die is cast. George Findlay, with his pledge, ha3 held the appointment back. But the limit of patience probably has been reached. Findlay has been offered several other positions, but steadily de clined in order to have Senator Burton make his promise good and appoint him revenue collector. The senator's friends could not land Findlay on the railroad commission, and he declined an Indian Territory jailership. It is also hinted that two or three other jobs were offered which he declined. Senator Burton will now appoint J. M. Simpson. Then he will offer Find lay another place. That place is to be the last of which he shall have the re fusal. After the federal jobs are out of the way comes the move on the state's redoubts. The "Big Four" are to be in the saddle. That means Senator Burton, M. A. Low, Frank Grimes and J. B. Case. This move is about due, although the state convention is a year off. Burton, Low, Grimes and Case are looked to in the future to control the Republican politics in Kansas, just as Cy Leland and his crowd recently did. The Burton following consider that the "Big Four" are already in the saddle, and have the old crowd at bay, regardless. Time was when Leland, Albaugh, Cram, Simpson and Frank Brown controlled things. Burton's friends are gleeful that they have mar shalled Crum and Simpson, as against the single desertion of Secretary of State Clark from them to the Leland Albaugh wing. Quietly the forces have been crystal lizing and everything is ready for the initial move, save for the one federal appointment. And the slate that is Just about formed will be very close to this: Governor Harry E. Richter. Lieutenant Governor Dave Hanna, Auditor of State S. G. Pottle. State Treasurer T .T Kelly. Secretary of State J. R. Burrow. Superintendent of Public Instruction Frank Nelson. Superintendent of Insurance Charles Luling or C. F. Biddle. Attorney General Neither J. S. West nor R. P. McCulloch. Supreme Judges Henry P. Mason, Justices Pollock, Ellis, Greene and Cun ningham. Congressman-at-Large Charles F. Scott, One of the "Big Four" has had a hand deep in the Sixth district row. They do not care anything about sav ing Reeder, but they are for pressing Burrow into the secretary of state nomination, when he wants to run for congress. They have pressure enough at hand to do it, too. The real object of pressing two nominations on to the Sixth is not so much to get even with the Seventh as to save Tom Kelly for state treasurer. There was a chance that Otis Atherton would come out for his second term as state treasurer. He is headed off effectually by this smooth action, but he will get the re ceivership of the Wa Keeney land office if he does not murmur. The attorney generalship is not for several persons. The only avowed can didate so far is R. P. McCulloch, from the Seventh district. Judge J. S. West, the present assistant, who on his work ing record would get a promotion, has not sufficient political following to be taken up by the slate-makers. The man who is to be attorney general has not had even a newspaper "mention" yet. No one knows outside of the "Big Four" who he is. The man does not know it himself that he baa been picked. M. A. Low has been decided on as the next United States senator by this com bine, it is very positively asserted. There has been rumor for a week or two of a break between Low and Cur tis. Burton wrould not like to have Curtis as his colleague in the senate md his friends have been watching the First district congressman clowely. Bur ton went to Coffeyville Fourth of July instead of keeping a date a year old at Des Moines in order to attend to a great deal of business and incidentally keep tab on Curtis. They may force him over to a clearcut alliance with Leland and Albaugh. Acting personally and Independently Curtis will probably seek re-election to congress and bide his time on the sen ate. The Burton opposition guberna torial candidate is conceded to be W. J. Bailey, of Baileyville. Candidates for both governor and senator comimj from the First district would not be very good politics. His love for a Jest may lose Jim Law rence the appointment of district judge in the Nineteenth district to succeed W. T. McBride. There is a fight on Lawrence in Sumner county for the place. J. S. Dey, present city attorney of Wellington is a candidate for the appointment also. Dey's friends are out in a statement part of which reads as follows: "A wet and dry fight baa been in pro- (Contlnued on Sixth Page.) HUGHES TALKS GAS. Says Topeka Should Pay Ko M ore Than $1.00. Late this afternoon Mayor Hughes an nounced his portion on the dollar gas or dinance. He said: "While I do not feel like taking the re sponsibility of advising the people of this city what to do about gas rates, I think everyone should understand that the law now squarely and unmistakably says that the gas company shall charge no more than one dollar a thousand for gas. No one can be blamed for refusing to pay more than that sum. 1 Want the people of this city to distinctly understand that the dollar gas ordinance is law: that the gas company is liable for a heavy fine in police court for every time that it col-, lects more than one dollar a thousand. "When people understand this I think they will not have much qdestion as to what they ought to do in the matter." BREAKSRECORD. Mercury Today Records 105 at 2:30 P.M.

The wind early this morning was very light, blowing not more than two miles an hour. At 11 o'clock the breeze had gotten up to three miles an hour and was shifting from the north to the northwest. Thunderstorms and cooler weather are promised for "Wyoming, Col orado and Utah and with a northwest wind Topeka might feel the effects of it, but the probabilities are not sufficient for the prognosticators to even mention it, so the forecast sent out today is: "Gen erally fair and continued warm tonight and Sunday." There were a few flaky, white clouds yesterday and Observer Jennings was notified of them. He ran out his big telescope and made an offi cial view of them, taking their dimen sions, color, and other characteristics and reported them at once to Washington. But they didn't amount to much. "Did you see those clouds?" was asked of Jennings. "Yes," was the reply. "Will they bring rain?" "No." "When will we have rain?" "Next week." "Sure?" "No; maybe." Kansas is as hot as ever and yesterday's reports were as follows: Maxi- Mini Station mum. mum. Sky.

Man Named llogers Killed on V. P. Train. Was Traveling Salesman For Swift Packing House. KILLING UNPROVOKED. Murderer Was a Defaulting Omaha Bank Cashier. Asserted That Dead Man Had Him Hypnotized. Rawlins.Wyo., July 13. A man named Rogers was shot to death by Ned Hart ley Copeland, on Union Pacific train No. 6 last night. Copeland was travel ing from Stockton, Cal., to Council Bluffs, iowa. When at a point three miles east of Wamsutter, he walked into the car where Rogers was sitting and at once began shooting at him, saying: "There, take that." He shot three times, the bullets entering Rogers' breast and he died instantly. Copeland was arrested and is now in jail here. When asked what caused him to kill Rogers he said: "He had me hypnotized and I had to do it." Copeland is undoubtedly out of his mind. As the killing took place in Sweet Water county, Copeland will be taken to Green River and turned over to the authorities there. St. Joseph, Mo., July 13 A. P. Rogers, who was killed by N. H. Copeland in a Union Pacific train near Wamsutta, Wyo., last night was employed by Swift Co., in transporting poultry from St. Joseph to San Francisco. He left here two weeks ago in charge of a car of poultry and was on his return when killed. He has no family. Copeland is unknown here. Omaha, Neb., July 13. A special to the Bee from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: N. H. Copeland, who shot and killed A. C. Rogers, on a Union Pacific train near Wamsutta, Wyo., last night, was formerly a bank teller of Omaha, and resides in South St. Joseph, Mo. He said he killed his companion to save his own life and break a hypnotic speil. Papers found on the dead man's body showed him to be a traveling man for the Chicago house of the Swift Pack ing company. The body was left at Rawlins. Brakeman Schamp, who overpowered Copeland, had a narrow escape from the bullets. Omaha, Neb., July 13. Ned Hartley Copeland, who last night killed A. P. Rogers on a Union Pacific train near Rawlins, Wyo.. was a trusted teller in the Nebraska National bank in this city for ten years prior to August. 1S99. He left the city at that time, ostensibly for a summer vacation and visit to the eastern states and has not since been heard from. At the bank Copeland was designated as the "B. M." teller, he having charge of the deposits of the Burlington Missouri railroad. A month after his departure the Burlington account at the bank showed a shortage of $10, 000. Half of this amount was made good by Copeland's brother-in-law and the remainder by his bondsmen. The bond company that acted as his surety has been looking for Copeland ever since the shortage was discovered, but had been unable to locate him. Copeland was recently heard from on the Pacific coast through a fraternal body with which he was connected, and was being traced by a detective agency. It is suspected that Rogers recognized him and that this may have led to the shooting. HUGHES SIGNED CALL Was One of the Organizers of the Coal Combine. The coal dealers of Topeka do not entirely agree with Mayor Hughes, who recently declared that he was violently opposed to the coal combine, and that he proposed to run his coal business in Topeka Independent of the trust. Fred Webster, a well known coal dea ler, saysi "The Mid-State Coal Dealers' associ ation was organized two and a half years ago, and Hughes signed the call for the meeting to organize. It includes the coal dealers of Kansas, Nebraska, Missouri, Iowa and Arkansas. Its mem bership is about 1,800. When it was or ganized. Col. Hughes wanted to be made manager of the association, at a salary of $100 a month. He was turned down for this job, and It made him sore. He kicked out of the association, and has since then not been invited to join. That is the reason that Colonel Hughes is so much opposed to the coal dealers' association." OF! KILLARNEY LAKE. University of Pennsylvania Crew Defeats Trinity College. Killarney, July 13. The University of Pennsylvania crew easily won their race against the Trinity college of Dub lin crew on Killarney lake today. The course was from the Glens Bay to Castle Lough Bay.

The Joint con ference of the representatives of the steel combination and the Amalgama ted Association of Iron, Steel and Tin workers was resumed at the Hotel Lin coln at 10 o'clock this morning. After a session of an hour and a half the conference took a recess for lunch. All attempts to induce the conference to talk were fruitless. The conference reassembled ehortly after 2 o'clock. The Amalgamated officials were particularly cheerful as they entered the room and it was said that the pros pects for a settlement seemed much brighter than at any time since the ne gotiations began. AWAY TO EUROPE Mrs. Mary Harrington Hanna Gives Dan It. the Slip. New Tork, Juy 13. Attorneys for Dan R. Hanna, of Cleveland, obtained from Justice MeAdam in the supreme court today a writ of habeas corpus, returnable Monday, commanding Mary Harrington Hanna to produce in court her three children. Mr. Hanna, in his petition, says that the children were restrained of their liberty by their mother on the pretense that she has a right to their custody, and that he, the father, has been Illegally deprived of their charge. A detective was sent to the Hotel Savoy to serve the writ. Mr. Hanna accompanied the detect ives to the Hotel Savoy. When he ar rived there he was told that Mrs. Hanna had sailed with her children on the steamer Menominee, which clea eJ the bar, bound for London, at 10:50 this morning. The maiu'ger of the Hotel Savoy said Mrs. Hanna left the hotel between 7 and 8 o'clock this morning. Later it was learned that state rooms on the Campania had been engaged for Mrs. Hanna. A reporter who went to the steamer found that the Baroness de Polland, a friend of Mrs. Hanna, was on board, but no information could be obtained as to Mrs. Hanna. Mr. Hanna went to the Campania and entered into a consultation with the baroness. At this time, a state room engaged by Mrs. Hanna was locked and it was thought that Mrs. Hanna was inside. The door to the state room was guarded by one of the ship's crew who would not per mit any one to approach it. BEGAN AT CLEVELAND Cleveland, O., July 13. Dan R.Hanna, son of Senator Hanna, was granted a temporary injunction by Judge Dis sette against his divorced wife. May Harrington Hanna, Thursday, to pre vent her taking his three sons from the jurisdiction of the court of this county. The action was based on the an nouncement of Mrs. Hanna that she was going to New York to live with her sons, Mark A. Carl H. and Dan R-Han-na, Jr. Mrs. Hanna secured a divorce in lSy8 on the grounds of gross neglect of duty and extreme cruelty and the court then decreed that the three child ren should divide their time between their father and mother. Hanna married again, but there are no children by the second wife. A year ago Mrs. Hanna took the children to Europe and upon her return he sued her former husband for $10,000, which she claimed she had paid for traveling expenses of the party. That suit is still pending. Deputy sheriffs tried in vain today to serve the injunction on Mrs. Hanna. It. was said at her home that she was ill and could not be seen. For that reason nobody was admitted to the house. Mrs. Hanna eluded the officers and went to New York. RUN ON A BANK. Depositors Form in Line at 7 O'clock in the Morning. Peru, Ind., July 13. There was a run on the Miami County Loan and Savings association here today. Depositors' lines have been formed since seven this morning and there is a constantly in creasing rush to withdraw funds. From the best information there is no ground for alarm. Ed L. Miller, secretary and treasurer, has just wired to Chicago for $20,000. The concern began banking about six months ago. Chicago, July 13. The secretary of the American Trust company to whom the Peru institution wired for funds, stated that the request for assistance had been cimplied with, although he declined to say how much money was sent. The trust company's advices that there was a "little local trouble," but they did not think the outcome would eb serious. STRIKERS ENJOINED. Pennsylvania Judge Issues a Restraining Order.

Kansas City in State of Terror From a Mob Owing to an Attempt to Lynch Negro Suspects. INNOCENT T E R SONS Were Chased and Assaulted Without lleasou. Another Attempt Is Expected Today or Tonight. Kansas City, Mo., July 13. A' mob made a demonstration last right against the county jail where Frank Holland and Joe Robertson, negroes charged with an assault upon Miss Grace Davis, are confined. It broke up at 3 o'clock this morning into disorder ly groups, which chased and assaulted dozens of negroes who had given no offense. At an early hour today gangs of men were still hanging about the north end of town, talking of the Davis outrage and threatening the negroes. An attack on the Jail if at tempted would have been repulsed, the police say. The crime which has incensed the citizens of this city is one of the most daring outrages ever perpetrated here. Miss Davis and her escort, Vernie New ton, were walking home after having spent the evening at Troost park. At Nineteenth street and Woodland ave nue three negroes sprang upon them i from behind. Newton was knocked senseless and Miss Davis was dragg-d four hundred feet into a private park and assaulted. When she reeovereti consciousness her escort was still In sensible. They are both in a critic al condition. Roberts and Holland were "sweated" early this morning, but neither ad mitted complicity in the crime. It Is be lieved that an attempt more deter mined than that of last night will made, probably today, but if not, lat tonight, to mob tiie county Jail and lynch the men. Deputy marshals thi morning changed their feeling toward the negroes when their guilt becanift more certain and one or two officers at the jail were heard to express the senti ment that all three negroes richly de served lynching. Marshal Maxwell ha taken every precaution, to protect tha men and says he can successfully com bat any attack on the jail. Both the police and the county offi cials are endeavoring to keep the wher e abouts of the negroes secret, but it it known that all three are in the county jail. Roberts and Holland were sup posed to have been spirited away fruni the city last night, but it developed this morning that they had simply bee?i taken into a tunnel running from tha jail to the court house across the street and keit there until the excitement, died down. The mob dispersed before i. daylight and the men were returned to their cells. Maupin, it is believed, will be ar aigueu during the day, when trouble may result. If possible he will be taken before Idiss Davis today to see If sh.j can identify him. She has already par tially Identified Roberts and Holland, who, she says, held her while the third man committed the assault.. Maupin has served time in the county jail and once was a "trusty." Roberta has served time in the penitentiary. Governor Dockery has offered a re ward of $200 each for the arrest of the assailants of Miss Davis. The thirteen men arrested last niht for inciting riot were fined $a each in police court this morning and released. The chargesagainst them were disorder ly conduct, carrying concealed weapons' and destroying personal property. Rob erts and Holland were arraigned late yesterday and their preliminary trial has been set for July 22. At 10 o'clock all was quiet at th county ajil.

HOLES THE RECORD. Boston's Veteran Pitcher Leads All American League Twirlera. Chicago. July 13. Joe McGinnity. fitching for McfSraw's Orioles, and "W'yart Lee, the clever southrmw t wirier for Jimmy Manning's Senators, have I'itched more games than any other Iitchers in the American league this ffason. Each of them have partici pated in twenty-two games. McGinnity lias lost eight and has won thirteen, beinsr put in one game to finish it when foreman was taken out. Lee's record in games lost Is better than that of the iron man, for he has lost only live to date, while out of the revenfen remaining he has been cred ited with only ten games won. Lee is a pood hitter and fielder and has played In the outer garden in four games as iwell as having been put in to bat for K'me weaker iiitter In two games. y Young holds the record of games iwoh and lost among the siab artists, (who have been doing regular stunts ever since the season opened. He has pitched in eighteen games and has gone down in defeat only twice, though he .was taken out of the first game he gHfhed on Aprit 27. Winters, the young Gettysburg twirl er Collins recently secured, fras made good record so far. having pitched five games and won them all. Griffith Is Chicago's premier twirler, with only lour games lost and fourteen won. MAY BECOME A 6UPEK3A. Irwin, the Ex-Red, May Join Ean lon's Brooklyn Team. Cincinnati. July 13. Charley Irwin received a dozen or more telegrams yesterday asking him to wire his terms. fr"he Chicago National league and the Chicago American league both both want Irwin. He also has an offer from Jimmy Manning, of the Washington club. Irwin, however, will not engage himself to any one for a day or so yet. He believes that there is room on the Brooklyn team for him, and he will tiave a talk with Ned Hanion. Irwin (would prefer top lay with Brooklyn to ftny other team. He will decide within the next few days where he will finish the season. It is not likely that he will pro to Chicago unless spiendid induce xnents are held out to iiirn there, for no player wants to play in his home town, and Irwin lives in Chicago. C0HB3 PAID TO LOSE. loamy Powers Wi Go-Eetwesn, and Bookmakers Were In. New York, July 13. Considerable ex citement was caused at the "Brighton Beach race track by the report that the Investigation Into the Wax Taper race had revealed the fact that Jockey Combs had been offered the sum of M0 to cause the hor to lose. It was said that ex-Jockey Tommy Powers, who came east with Combs, engineered the scheme, and was to receive half of this amo".nt for his part in the affair. The report says that the money was raid over to the wife of a prominent Jockey, who at one time was connected with the stable of "Pittsburg Phil." and who Is now riding in Austria. After the race, so the story goes, Combs received only $-00 for his good work on Wax Taper. Powers received the same amount and the stakeholder is sup posed to have retained the balance. Reds Badly Crippled. Cincinnati, July 13 Never before in the history of the Cincinnati club has the team been so badly crippled an it is at the present time. The entire infield recently was made ui of substitute Ilayers. Irwin's Charley horse took him out of the game after the third Inning, and he was the only regular man in play. With an entire infield on the hospital list good results are not to be expected from a team. It is really surprising that the Reds make their op ponents hustle as mm a as they do. NATIONAL LEAGUE.

New York, July 13. R. O. Dun Co.'s Weekly Review of Trade Bays: General business continues its even course, with all the leading industries well employed and with confidence ex pressed on every hand. Bountiful crops of wheat seem assured, and the dam age to corn, while considerable in some directions, does not promise to be suffi ciently general or serious to at all Im pede the progress of the country. Labor troubles are in process of settle ment, and speculators have been re sponsible for most of the rest which has been reflected in the markets. Steel mills are actively employed, and there is a distinct improvement in the de mand for finished products, while quo tations are without alteration. In bars for use by makers of agricultural im plements there Is a brisk movement, plates are taken readily and there Is no sign of diminished purchasing in struc tural material. Rails are ordered free ly, with notable pressure for trolley and other light weights. Improvement is general In the foot wear industry, although no higher prices can be obtained. Textile lines have sold in a steady position that promises more lasting prosperity than if prices had been forced higher or sensational activity had followed the altered attitudeof buy ers. Heavy weight woolens are secur ing duplicate orders and milis are mak ing extensive preparation for the light weight. Manufacturers are well em ployed and exhibit increasing interest in raw material. Wool has not altered in price, but tne tone is firmer and sales increase. Grain crops this season are occasion ing much uneasiness among specula tors, owing to the extremely complicated sit uation. According to the latest official and unofficial prognostications there is reason to anticipate the heaviest wheat yield ever harvested, and making the customary allowances for domestic consumption, even with the small sup ply on hand when the year opened. there appears available for export about fifty per cent more than went abroad in the year of greatest ship ment. Yet prices are far above the low record, and vigorous rallies follow each decline. Extensive needs abroad con tinue, the movement from Atlantic ports for the week amounting to 3.20S, 634 bushels, against 2.1S9.443 bushels a year ago, and western receipts were 4.479,3. S bushels against 2,618,677 bushels last year. Corn exhibited remarkable strength, drouth and heat giving reason to ex pect less than the official estimate which Indicated more than two billion bushels. This cereal Is now at an ex ceptionally high point and estimates of 200.000.CM) bushels for export are too high, as foreigners will not buy freely at the enhanced values. Failures for the week numbered 208 in the United States, against 1SW last year, and 27 In Canada, against 24 last year. TOPEKA WELL UP. In the List of Cities Showing Increas ed Bank Clearing.

PLACED TRUST WR03G James Mulligan Deceived Tbem, Say Returned Members. Although Chained and Guarded Managed to Escape. Sorrowful Story of Misplaced Confidence Related. Liberal, Kaa., July 13. Some of the party that left here for Klondike In search of gold early this spring under the guidance of James Mulligan, have returned and report a sorrowful tale. It will be remembered that James Mulligan returning from Klondike last winter to Liberal reported that he was Interested In several rich mining prop erties in which there was a fortune if sufficient capital could be raises' to de velop the property. At the same time Mr. Mulligan showed what purported to be S20,1jO in nugget gold that he had dug up while in Alaska. These bright stories of wealth naturally dazzled the minds of many young 3ten around Lib eral, and a company of about 30 sold ail their earthly possessions in the way of town property, live stock and ranches and fully trusting Mr. Mulligan piaced the money in his hands, elect ing him treasurer and president and left in a body for Alaska early in the spring. The story has been published of how Mr. Mulligan reported one day at the police station in Seattle that he had been held up and robbed of some 2U.- 00 which he was carrying in his coat pocket, by thugs. The story bore an air of insincerity and upon being pressed for particulars by the officers and members of the company he broke down and confessed to having hid the money, and that he was not robbed at all. No one would makeia complaint against him, so he was allowed to go free, but he was closely watched there after. The young men who have re turned state that Mulligan was chained to one of the men each night from then on. but that in spite of these pre cautions one dark night Mulligan and a cousin escaped and no trace of them could be discovered. However, the money had been taken away and placed in charge of another member. It also developed, say the returned members, that Mulligan had never been a miner but simply a wood chopper, and Invented these stories for the pur pose of getting the money of his home friends and neighbors and leaving them stranded in the north. Also that the $20,000 in nuggets he boasted of having in. reality was much less than 1.000. The entire party are much diseour aged, and will soon drift back to Kan sas, sadder but wiser. But It is hinted that it will be well for Mr. Mulligan to remain in the north. FAILURE AT BCANDIA. Hardware Firm Compelled to Close Its Doors. Seandia, July 13. Lervold Mahan, hardware and general dealers in mer chandise In Scandia for several years, have failed, with liabilities aggregating $3,500; assets said to be about $6,0t0.

GIVES TAYLOR CREDIT. Deals Out Praise For Others Who Aided lllni. Attributes Success to Forged Letters Which He Dietated. Washington, July 13. The war de partment has received Brigadier Gen eral Funston's report of the capture of Aguinaldo made under date of May 6. This report presents in detail all the facts relating to the capture of Aguin aldo which were made public at that time. General Funston shows that bis entire plan of the expedition was sub mitted to the commanding general of the department of northern Luzon, and then was sent to General Mac Arthur, by whom It was approved. General Funston goes Into details con cerning the captured correspondence from Aguinaldo and the uses he made of Cecilio Sagismundo, who presented himself to Lieut. Taylor, of the Twenty-fourth infantry with letters of Aguinaldo that he was to deliver to various insurgent chiefs. General Funston f:ives the following account of the forced letters which were used to deceive Aguinaldo: "On October 21, 1900, while scouting in the vicinity of Gapan, Nueva. Ecija, I had surprised the insurgent chief Lacuna in his camp, and had captured among other things some writing paper which bore his headquarters seal. On this paper two letters were written to Aguinaldo over the carefully forged signature of Lacuna. "One of these letters was dated Feb ruary 24, 1901, at Bulaca, a place in the mountains east of Panaranda. In It Lacuna acknowledged the receipt of Aguinaldo's letter of January 13 and 14. and thanked him for the confirma tion of his (Lacuna's) appointment as brigadier general made some time pre viously by Aljandiro. "It will be remembered that the let ters of Aguinaldo referred to had fallen into our hands. Our letter in dulged in the usual rhetoric employed by the insurgent chiefs In their corre spondence, and gave a glowing account of the progress of the campaign from the standpoint of Lacuna. "Another letter, supposed to have been from the same place but dated February 28, was prepared, stating that the writer had just received a communication from Baldomero Aguinaldo, ordering him to send one of his best companies, under a reliable chief, to Emilio Aguinaldo. in Isabella. "In accordance with these orders he was sending this force under Lieuten ant Colonel Hilario Placido. The lat ter, he stated, had been captured by the Americans a year ago, and after his release he had lived In Jaen. but recently had taken to the field again when ordered to do so by Lacuna. This was included in the letter for fear that Aguinaldo might have heard that Pla cido bad been captured by the Ameri cans and had taken the oath of alle giance. The letter also stated that Aguinaldo's secretary, Cecilio Sagis mundo, was with Lacuna and would accompany the column. These two let ters were dictated by me but written by Segovia. We were in possession of a number of samples of Lacuna s sig nature and had previously succeeded in executing a very neat forgery of his autograph at the end of each one of the two sheets. Of the actual capture. General Fun ston says: "The Macabebees started up into the town and we heard a few shots fol lowed by scattered firing. We crossed the river and running up on the town. found that the Macabebees were some what demoralized and firing wildly in every direction. "They were gotten under control with some difficulty. Aguinaldo's guard of about fifty armed and uni formed men bad been drawn up to receive the reinforcements, and being fired into broke and ran, a few of them returning the fire as they retreated. "Aguinaldo, with his officers, had awaited in his quarters. Placido and Segovia entered the house to report their arrival, and after a short conver sation Segovia stepped outside the house and ordered his Macabebees. who had Just come up from the river bank to open fire on the Insurgents who were standing in line at a distance of about 60 yards. The Macabebees were so ex cited and nervous that the fire was very Ineffective. But two of the Insur gents were killed the remainder taking flight. "As soon as Segovia had given the order he ran back into the house and opened fire on the officers surrounding Aguinaldo. "He wounded Villa and Hambn. The latter jumped out of the house Into the river, and was not seen again. Villa on being wounded surrendered, as did also Santiago Barcelona, Aguinaldo's treas urer. The five remaining officers es caped from the house and swam the river. Placido seized Aguinaldo and told him that he was a prisoner of the Americans. At this juncture the Amer icans arrived on the scene and gave their attention to getting the Macabe bees under control and protecting the prisoners from them. One Macabebee was slightly wounded by a gunshot wound in the forehead."

These conditions may be rem edied by enriching the blood and ton ing the stomach with Hood's Sarsa parilla. This medicine seems to put new life into the whole physical sys tem, simply because of its wonderful power to purify, enrich and vitalize the blood, create an appetite and in vigorate the digestive functions.

TOPEKA STATU JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. JTJXiY 13, 1C01. IT'S ABEAUTY. New Chemistry Building: at Manhattan a Model. Will Cost in the Neighborhood of 8 70,000. TOPEKA MEN WIN One Made Plans Another Will Erect the Building:. Is to Be 165 Feet Long and 93 Feet Wide. In the designing and erection of an new chemistry building for the state at the Manhattan agricultural col lege an opportunity Is afforded for two Topeka man to derive a great deal of credit. The plana and specifications were orawn up by Capt. J. G. Haskell. They met the unanimous approval of the board of regents. The accompanying rut 1-1 an excellent view in the perspec tive of the proposed new building. C'has. A. Fellows, ex-mayor of Topeka. secured the contract for the construc tion of the building. The location se lected by the board for the new chem- Chemistry Building to Be Erected lstry building is in the rear, northwest of the main building and half way to Agricultural hall. The total cost of the work and equipment of the build ing will be about $70,0o0. "In making the plans for this build ing." said one of the regents, "Archi tect Haskell has shoivn splendid judg ment in arranging everything to meet the special needs of our department of chemistry and physics. Laboratories need to be constructed with large rooms conveniently arranged and fur nished with special means of ventila tion. A building such as we required to harmonize with its surroundings riad of course to come within a nomi nal cost and yet have a pleasing ap pearance from the outside as well as attractive on the inside." Mr. Haskell has helped the appear ance of the building immensely by the design for the entrance and the towers st the corners. The ventilating tower and the chimneys are arranged to har monize end not present the unsightly appearance which mars the beauty of eome buildings. Mr. Haskell was more specially able to design the proposed building in a suitable way inasmuch as lie spent several weeks in the east in vestigating the latest and most im proved methods for ventilating and ar rangement of just such class of build ing as the new one to be erected at Manhattan. The college faculty furnished sugges tions for the outlines of the floor space of the building. It is three stories fal low the attic and stands on the campus in such manner that half the lower floor becomes basement at one end. The building is to be constructed of native white stone quarried at Man hattan, and has been designed to har monize with the other college buildings both in style of architecture and con struction. It is plain but massive and dignified In its expression. No effort has been made to outdo other buildings"-in the group, but it is only intended that it should compare favorably with the others. Its main front is to face south, and the main entrance is emphasized bv an expressive pavilion. The other angles are treated with octagonal pa vilions, adding choice space to the roons and marking the structure with a character of its own. Upon entering the building one turns to the right for the apartments in chemistry and to the left for the apart ments in physics. The floor space on all three floors is divided into rooms for the accommodation of the various branches. There has been no haphazard work In the division of space. The latest ap proved laboratory service has be 'n consulted, so that while other schools may be as well provided none will be btter. The matters of heat and ventilation are of utmost importance, and espe cially so in a building of chemistry. In these masters the latest and most approved methods have been adopted The air upon entering the building will pass over a fixed battery of radiation to a large fan or blower which will 8rlve It to the various rooms with such force as to insure a rapid change of Pir in all rooms, and such a move ment In the chemistry laboratory as to discharge fully and quickly all vapors or gases generated in the operations on the tables or wards. The onen tinber or mill construction has been adopted. and the exposed beams and girders are to be finished in hard oil. The building Is 185 feet long and 93 feet wide, with a light well on the ?Zrth ?i'29x4S- Each floor contains about 14,000 square feet of space.

Frenchman Has a Balloon That He Can Guide. Paris. July 13. M. Santos-TJumert's cigar-shaped balloon, driven by a mo tor, had a trial from St. Cloud across Paris, arouna the Eiffel tower, and back to St. Cloud. The papers say the trip was quite successful, and that the balloon ascended and descended ap parently at the will of the aeronaut- He will make an official attempt to win the prize of 100.000 franca offered by Henry Ieutsch for a manageable balloon. Seemingly the balloon was under al most perfect control from first to l?st, apart from the breaking of the, rudder rope. The average speed was 40 kilo meters per hour, and the experiment was made at a height ranging from 100 to 270 metres. The aeronaut came down six times in selected spots with, out damaging the machine. A HOLIDAY TRIP. Senator Lodge Wants It Understood, That's AIL London, July 13. United States Sena tor Lodge has arrived in London but will stay here only a fewdays and then proceed to Bayreuth, returning here in September. In the course of a conver sation the senator said: "This is purely a holiday trip.I do not intend to meet any English statesmen or to discuss any matters connected with foreign affairs. As regards the Nicaragua canal, I suppose there will be a lot more talking before anything is done. "The matter of the chairmanship of at State Agricultural College. the foreign relations committee is merely a matter of seniority. If Sen ator Frye retains his other chairman ship, then Senator Cullom will take the position. If he retains his other chair manship I will be head of the foreign relations committee. What Senator Frye and Cullom intend to do I do not yet know. QUEEN SUHSTRUCK. Overcome by Meat WTiile Play ing: Croquet at Spa. Brussels. July 13. Queen Marie Hen rietta fell a victim to the extreme heat which prevailed yesterday. Her majes ty was playing croquet in the grounds of her villa at Spa when she was over come and fell. She was carried indoors and soon recovered consciousness. Her majesty's physician. however, was sum moned to Spa to attend her. WITHOUT FOUNDATION. Report That Anything Has Been Bone About the CanaL London, July 13. The Associated Press is officially informed that the special cable dispatches announcing that the Nicaragua negotiations had reached a definite phase and that Uni ted States Ambassador Choate was conferring with Lord Pauncefote and the Marquis of Lansdowne are utterly without foundation. According to this official information the only stage re ported is that of consultation between the Marquis of Lansdowne and Lord Pauncefote and Ambassador Choate will have to see the foreign minister a good many more times before the affair is ready to be put before the cabinet. It is also said that Mr. Choate has not been and is not likely to be consulted. Chicago and Return $ie.00 via the Santa Fe Route. For the International Convention Bap tist Young People's Union.

Hi eh. 1V. T; s V AILROAD NEWS. Bock Island Preparing For Ueayy Passenger Traffic. Will Put 100 Extra Coaches Into Serrice Next Week. NEW THROUGH TRAIN Plans Being Made For a Limited Through Serfice. Will Be Between Chicago and San Francisco. The extension of the Rock Island rail way system in various localities west of the Missouri river and the increased passenger traffic Is responsible for the Increase in passenger equipment that is to be pressed into service on the lines west of the Missouri river with the beginning of next week. One hundred passenger coaches are being distributed over the various lines and all will be in use Monday. It is believed that the homeseekers business Tuesday will be unprecedented. Trains will be run in two, three and even four sections. And it is on this account that the large order for equipment was placed. The passenger traffic on the southern Rock Island lines has been so heavy that the railroad has been un able to give adequate service. After the rush of Oklahoma business is over these cars are to be divided be tween the new lines recently completed in the Oklahoma country and the new- line to El Paso. With the completion of the Liberal extension which is expected to require two months' time yet, a thorough lim ited train will be inaugurated between Chicago and Los Angeles and San Francsico. The through train will be a model of elegance and luxury. The finest cars that may be turned out by the Pullman company will be used. Topeka will gain by these arrange ments. The through train will run over the southern route of the Rock Island and will pass through Topeka "Work is in progress on the Rock Island In Iowa to shorten the distance be tween here and Chicago 30 miles. The Liberal extension passes through a lev el country and heavy steel is being laid to permit of the use of heavy trains and still make fast time. West of Kl Paso the train will be run over the lines of the Southern Pacific. This route will be sho-ter from Chicago to Los Angeles by 200 miles, than any other existing route, say the officials. The whole distance is also through a comparatively level country,' skirting the mountains, rather than running through the foothills and over them thus allowing faster running time. A schedule has not yet been made out but it will show a saving of many hours between Chicago and Los Ange les and San Francisco. It has not been decided whether this will be a daily or tri-weekly service. Whichever it is, it will afford Topekans a faster train and a new service and leaving time between here and Chicago or for points farther east, besides giv ing an excellent service west to the coast. An attractive feature of the proposed new through route will be the run of 117 miles over a perfectly straight and level track on the C. R. I. M. road now building. The straight stretch of track begins just below Liberal and passes through Dalhart, the new divis ion point and south to some point not yet named. The track Is already built as tar as JJalnart and trains are in op eration. THAT M'PHEKSON ROAD. Interesting Disclosures Made by One of the Directors. A New Orleans correspondent claims to have had an interview with E. D. Harrington ,the Philadelphia banker who is one of the directors of the pro posed North and South railroad which is to go through Hutchinson. In a spec ial dispatch out of New Orleans the correspondent says: "E. D. Harrington arrived in New Or leans today. He said that the Superior, Hutchinson Little Rock Railroad company, of which he had just been elected a director, would be built from Superior, Neb., to Little Rock, Ark., as rapidly as possible. This year 150 miles of road will be built from McPherson, Kan., to the coal fields of Arkansas. Altogether the road will be 400 miles in length. The officers of the road are:. Bernard J. Harrison, stock exchange member of the firm of Harrison Wy coff, of New York, president; D. J. Mc Donald, .of the international banking house of Ladenbur, Thallman Co., vice president, and Edward Walker Hardin, manager of the New Tork Commercial, secretary. Among the di rectors are: Frederick Hoffman Smith, Jr., of Newark, N. J.; Martin J. Eagan. of San Francisco. Cal.; E. P. Williams of McPherson, Kan.; Powell Clayton, of Eureka Springs, Ark.; L. M. Lafol lette, governor of Wisconsin; Clarence T. Rittenhouse, of Philadelphia, and Delos J. Parker, of Pittsburg, Pa. Regarding the line, Mr. Harrington said: "Being a north and south line, it is welcomed in the territory tributary by those who have heretofore been put to the necessity of traveling and ship ping around two sides of a triangle to reach desired points. The recent big combination of railroads has made it necessary for some northern railroads o have a southern outlet through thit section, as these roads have been cut off from the gulf. Then too, there is the probability that congress will soon tart the Nicaragua canal plan, and these conditions have led northern rail road men to seek more direct entrance to this southery territory, and the cap italists are ready to aid in the pro ject." HARD TO FIND ENTRANCE. Ft Bcott, Iola Western Trying to Get Into Iola. Iola, Kan. July 13. J. E. Henderson, C. C. Nelson and W. F. McDonald, di rectors and promoters of the Fort Scott, Iola Western railroad, are in Iola -today trying to get their right of way through the town. On most of the property they have already secured op tions and on that they have not se cured they are preparing to condemn. The action of the Missouri Pacific Sun day in laying track on the vacant land east of their stock yards has made it necessary to a wider tour of the yards than was at first contemplated and may compel them to take another route. The right of way granted the road over Benton street does not do them much good at present. With the new Missouri Pacific tracks they can come out of the blackberry patch on to Douglass street easily but they have no right to enter that street and will riot have until they pay dam ages along the line. It is said that the new road and the street railway come square together near Gas City. They both seem to be fighting for the right of way from there to La Harpe. Railroad right of way tangles are the order of the day in Iola. MEN HAVE BETTER HABITS. Atchison Champion Draws a Lesson From the Hot "Weather. There have been no prostrations from the heat among the Central Branch shopmen this summer, although the rails and cinders make it excessively hot, says the Atchison Champion. Yes terday a thermometer was put out in the sun near the office building and in five minutes it registered 122. In the coolest spot in F. W. Turner's office the thermometer rose to 105. In the black smith shop it is 120 most of the time. Still the men stand the heat remarka bly and vary little illness is reported considering the number of employes. Thomas Murphy.of the car department, attributes it to the health of the men resulting from good habits. "We haven't the same class of men we had 15 years ago," he said. "Men who drink heavily every night go down un der the heat in the day time." The shop men are different in a good many ways from the employes of a few years ago. .iney usea to De a shifting class, com ing and going, but now they are steadv workers, and thoroughly reliable. Most of them own homes in Atchison and have been at the shops for a number of years. There is no better nor more worthy of class of workmen to be found. Recently there has been a good deal of discussion" of the subject of re form in the matter of profanity among workmen. The Armours, of Chicago, have made rules against swearing by employes, and other big concerns have found a similar attempt at reform nec essary. In this respect it is believed that the Central Branch shop men are especially worthy of commendation. The Champion reporter who goes to the shops daily for news has never heard an oath nor an objectionable word from one of the employes. The men are al ways busy, always good natured and always courteous. They are a very de sirable class of citizens. SATS IT'S NO DREAM. Emporia Gazette Tells of Progress of the Orient. The Emporia Gazette says: You, and everyone else, have been told that the Orient was all a bluff a sort of blue-print railroad, and that it would never be built through, but judging by the way the gangs of men under Elist are making things move along, some body seems to think there will be a big railroad, and that soon. At pres ent the gang consists of 60 teams and 7 men. The first of the week there will be more. The gang Is really four gangs, the slip gang and the wagons and machine gang now being at work west of the Santa Fe round-house. Beyond them, and south of the stock yards the wheelers are at work, while the finishing gang are on west from them. They are working towards town, and it won't be long before they will have completed the grade to the city limits. Thia morning two young men with teams, hired to begin work the first of next week, saying that their corn was burned up and that they must work at something. They had come 25 miles to get the job. So whenever you feel that the Orient is an engineer's pipe dream Just go down and look at the dirt they are piling up. It will do you good. THREE APPOINTMENTS. New Men Named For Good Places on the Santa Fe. The following new Santa Fe appoint ments have been announced: H. K. Gregory is appointed assistant general passenger agent of the Santa Fe lines west of Albuquerque, with office at San Francisco. W. H. Matson, jr., is .ap pointed traveling passenger agent with office in Los Angeles. John L. Trus low is appointed general agent of these lines at Santa Barbara. Former Santa Fe Man in Egypt. A. G.

Twelve years ago he quit the Santa Fe after having spent about two years in the service of the road here, and after that held positions successively in Omaha, Springfield, Mo., and Denver. From the latter place he went to New Mexico, where he worked for a mining company. While there his ability attracted the atten tion of the Baldwin people, who imme diately placed him on the Baltimore Ohio as master mechanic at Lebanon, Pa.

John Sheffield, a member of Neiswin ter's truck gang, who sought the Col orado summer resorts two weeks ago, has returned to Topeka in time to go to work when the rush comes. Carl Nelson, a machinist in the south shop who has worked here for the past nine months, quit Friday. He was em ployed in the Cofran foundry previous to entering the service of the Santa Fe. The North Topeka switching crew on the Santa Fe will go down the river Saturday evening for an all night fish. The crowd will be composed of John Crawford, George L. Stone and John Young. W. R. Scott, formerly traveling engi neer here but now superintendent of the Fort Worth Denver City at Fort Worth, Texas, was at the shops Friday. Mr. Scott left Topeka about eight years ago. William Crandall, a boilermaker,; is sick at his home in North Topeka, threatened with an attack of malarial fever. Hilton Gould, who has been working with him, is with' George Blossomer. F. D.

Joseph Aigner, Thos. Coughlin and Frank Ecclestoo are talking about rigging up an outfit and starting for the new Indian country next week. There are a good many shop men who are looking into the matter of securing a quarter section of the Kiowa-Comanche land3. The fan in the mill which was tem porarily disabled by the fire of .Wed nesday night, is in operation again. The fan is almost a necessary part of the mill machinery as by it the shavings are carried over into the bin adjoining the boiler room where they are used as fuel. Friday the shavings had to oe moved by hand. Joseph Heslep, a former shop em ploye, but now working in a Montana mine, is in town. Heslep worked here a long time until about ten years ago and since then it is thought he has been in the mining business. While with the Santa Fe at this place he was in a number of different departments at various times. The mill is getting out material for 230 new cattle guards. These guards are of wood, of dimensions eight by ten feet, and are in three sections. They can be taken up easily whenever it be comes necessary to make repairs on the track, and it is not necessary, as in the case of some other kinds, to dig a pit over which to place them. Each of the pieces running lengthwise is driven full of projecting spikes which make it im possible for stock to get over the guard.

TOPEKA STATE JOUTINAL, SATURDAY EVENING. JULY 13, 1901. LODGE JEWS. Hoy al League Members Get Into Trouble. TLey All Get Suspended at One Time. FIX UP THE BREACH. livery Thing Is m HoYing Along Smoothly Things or Interest to Western Secret Society Workers. For several weeks the fi 'ty member of the local order of the Hoyal League were on the anxious seat as to whether they wouia be suspended from the order. In tha month of December of last year one R. G. Brown, deputy supreme urchon of the Royal League, whose headquarters are in Chicago, came here from Omaha and proceeded to work up a nembership and organize a lodge. Sir. r.rown waa a suave sort of fellow- and had no trouble in inducing about fifty people to take out insur ance in the order he represented. Mat ters started off nicely. The order has a line ritual and the members were hiR-hly pleased with the work of order. Krown stayed here about a month, an. i kept the interest in 'the order up to a fever heat. After he left thera fccrntd to be no one to take the lead in affairs, and interest began to die. The secretary and treasurer of the associa tion became a little lax in their duties and failed to collect the various as sessments as regularly as they phouid have been collected, and finally remit tances to the supreme lodjre were en tirely stopped. It was however not be cause there was crooked work, but only on the account ot" negligence. The remittances were not made from time to time simply because a wait would be made until some one's as sessment had been paid. When that was gathered in tiiere waa some one else's hack dues to collect. The remit tances were put off from time to time in that manner until it seemed they were entirely forgotten, and no remit tances had been made to the supreme e for several weeka. Meantime a man named Brent, an other deputy supreme archon, came here to assist in any way in his power and to help strengthen the order and Instruct in any way needed. "Brent was a Jonah' is the way one mem ber of the lodge expressed it. "It Fcemwl." he said, "after lirent came here everything that had been ac complished waa undone. He had the appearance of a confidence man, and he did more harm than (rood." After lirent left the matter of remit tances was still neglected. Finally a lew of the more energetic members of the order who had paid their assess ments regularly and who did not want their polities to lapse, and have the wnole lodije suspended, began opera tions to square the lodge with the head ottice. Correspondence was entered Into wiih the supreme advisor and the con dition of affairs were explained to him. The predicament of the members of the local lodge was gone over in de tail, and he was asked what could be clone alwiit the matter. The correspondence with Chas. K. T'iper, the supreme advisor, of Chi cago, on the matter resulted in the visit of one Newman, an expert ac countant, who went over the books here. He found the books so far as they had been kept all right: money in the bank to account for all assess ments paid, but it was discovered that no assessments had been collected nor remittances made since February. The local members were afraid for a time that the whole lodge would be suspended and that everything paid in would be lost, but through the leniency of the supreme officers of the order he local lodge is continued. An innovation In the manner of keeping up an interest in lodge work during the heated term of the sunner Is brought to light in the arrangement for the Jegree teams of two local Mod ern Woodmen of America lodges to meet in a baseball game at Hardou's grove on Saturday, July 20. The teams represent local lodges No. 2S00 and 36. The staff of Naomi lodge No. 93 of the Order of Rebekah of this city has been selected to represent this state at the meeting of the grand sovereign lodge at Indianapolis in August and contest for the prise of t-'M offered for the best drilled team. An interesting feature of this decis ion which is not generally known, and in fact is known to only a few, was that a contest committee of which Mrs. J. F. Burris of Topeka was chairman, visited all the prominent lodges of the order in the state and watched the drill work of the degree teams of the var ious lodges. The v. oik of the various teams was scored, and Topeka was chosen simply beeuu.e the degree team here received the highest score and deserved the honor. The ladies who composed the committee and did the scoring visited the lodges and did their work unknown to the liarticipants in the drill. They were for that reason able to see the work as the members really were able to put it on. and save each lodge a fair chance. Shawnee camp No. 2S0O M. W. A. In itiated two candidates Thursday night ft tile hail at No. .04 Kansas uvenu. Two degrees were conferred upon the candidates. Mrs. F'nora Whitmore. who lives at No. S04 Topeka avenue, is attending a meeting of the Supreme Physicians of the Royal League at Rock Island this week.

The Kansas commandery will take Marshall's band and the far-famed Modocs along to make things lively for the other members of the lodge from other parts of the country who hava not had the privilege of hearing two so justly distinguished, organiza tions.

COLE IS ft JUDGE Hears Controversy Over Kearny County Bond Case. His Honor State Auditor Cole sat In judicial capacity this morning upon the matter of the Kearny county bonds, the registration of which is contested. There was an inmense range to the discussion, swinging from considera tion of "who burned the Kearny county court-house" to an attempted reversal of Judge Foster and tha United States district court. Toward the close it became most animated. Talking about the vouchers for the county's indebtedness which were destroyed when the court-house waa consumed by tire, Police Judge Lindsay exclaimed: "They burned the courthouse "Who burned the court-house?" cried Milton H. Brown, one of the attorneys for taxpayers against the bond issue. 'Yes! Who did? Who did?" fiercely counter-questioned Lindsay. Auditor Coie moved that that part of the argument be stricken from the records, so that his court will not have to decide who burned the Kearny tminty court-house. When the vouchers were drawn in place of the warrants, the warrants were destroyed in a bonfire for the pur pose. Now tiie vouchers are destroyed and there is no evidence of the alleged indebtedness except to go back to the old scrip that the warrants were orig- inally issued on. Miiton Rrown and Judge Gettys. for the objectors to the proposed refund ing bond issue, argued that this is sue, to which County Commissioners Carter and Kell have attached their signatures, is clearly illegal, because the bonds that they are to refund werv declared void. The original bonds ara dead: how can they be resurrected?" they asked. Clifford His ted maintained that to a compromise there must be concessions by both sides, not all on one side and his side at that. He also referred to Judge Foster's eccentricities on the United States district court bench as costing lawyers and litigants many hardships. Auditor Cole haj reserved his deci sion for some days upon the matter of registering the compromise bonds. The objectors notified the auditor that the people back of them would stand the expense of suit if Lindsay and Histed try. by mandamus, to compel him to register the 144.500 issue of bonds. They insist that the issue of bonds to pay this alleged indebtedness to be made legally should be submitted to the vote of the people. TO RACE AT CHICAGO. Robert Waddell, Pink Coat and Sidney Lucas in Contest. Chicago, July 13. At Washington park this afternoon the Young Handi cap, at a mile and three-sixteenths, with $3,000 added money, will be con tested for by the best three-year-olds and upward in the west. Three Ameri can derby winners. Pink Coat, Sidney Lucas and Robert Waddell, are en tered, together with eleven others. A high degree of interest was manifested in the outcome of th struggle between these three colts. Lucas and Pink Coat in their recent races had shown vastly in proved form, while Robert Waddell, the winner of tha last derby and three other rich stakes, had shown a slight reversal. In his last race Waddell was defeated by Jiminez, al though carrying top weight gave his followers ample grounds for still pin ing their faith to the Virlglnla bred colt. Rolling Boer with Bullman, was figured as having a fair chance, and considerable money went on him. RAIN AT MEXICO. First in Weeks Temperature Drops 35 Degrees. Mexico, Mo., July 13.

Psople on East Sido Buffering From Bunt F e Coal Fire. The people who live east of the Santa Fe shops are nearly being smothered by the gas from the Santa Fe coal storage pile which is smouldering un der the influence of the heat. The gas settles down making it almost impos sible to breath at night. There are 10, 000 tons of coal in the pile, and some thing will have to be done to stop the combustion or it will endanger the lives of the people. Difficult Digestion That is dyspepsia.

The Earl of Rosslyn appeared today in that of a new role, that of a drummer. iis lorilship has been fill ing in the time between his recent exper iment as a correspondent in t-South Africa and his approaching return to the stage as a member of Mrs. Langtry's company bv traveling for a cattle firm. It appears that he was so unsuccessful that hi employers terminated his en gagement and his lordship sued them for six months' wages. The earl, attired in the pink of fashion, entered the witness box and eot a verdict in Bis favor. NO POLICEMAN THERE. Transfer Man Hurst Assaulted and Assailants Get Away. William Hurst, the agent at the transfer station of the city railway, is nursing a sore face from the result Of an encounter with, two unknown men who were trying to beat him out of a transfer. One of the men came over to the station with a crowd from a car and asked for two transfers. A moment later he was joined by his companion, who came walking down the street. Hurst noticed that the yansactiou seemed peculiar and challenged the holder of the transfers. The man would not give up the point, and as he was handing one of the transfers to his friend Hurst made a grab for it. Both men then set upon him. While one began striking at Hurst the other struck his feet out from under him. and as Hurst fell to the pavement the man struck him in the face several times. A policeman was not in sight, and the two men succeeded in getting away. Cost of State Charities.

It Is thought that Policeman Hall, the man who is doing special work on the police foroe, will soon be relieved from duty. Hall has a record for shooting a man, killing another one with a club, and beating defenseless prisoner so se verely that the prisoner fcad hira ar rested and fined for assault. Neither the police committee of the council, Chief Stahl nor anyone else has mani fested any disposition to turn Mr. Hall off the force. He still wears his star, w hile he awaits his trial on the charge of murder. Mayor Hughes says that something Is liable to be done to. Mr, Hall before long. "I have been waiting for the police committee to take some action in th case. Now I propose to Investigate the case myself. I really know nothing about the case except what I have read in the newspapers. I want to have something done in the matter, and ex pect to talk to the parties interested within a few days. "Just wait a little while," concluded the mayor, "and I think the Hall case will be settled." Mayor Hughes insisted that he was working in entire harmony with Chief Stahl and the police committee, despite the fact that he seems to thin- that Chief Stahl should have inveiigated the Hall ease more carefully.

Judge Spear of the United States circuit court today handed down his decision distrib uting the money arising from the cap ture of the British steamship Adula during the Spanish war. Judge Spear considerably reduced the allowances for the officers made by the master to whom the question had been referred and has ordered that the sum of $40, OtiO paid into the treasury of the United States be distributed as prize money.

Destruction of Filipino Town Was Necessary Funston Feared. Atchison, Kan.. July 13. Capt. Ralph Ingalls, son of the late John J. Ingalls, ex-United States senator from Kansas, who has just returned from the Philip pines, says the charges against Capt. A. S. Rowan, of Atchison, for burning a Filipino town have been magnified. "I do not think the damage amounted to $150, and the whole town, which con sisted simply of huts, could be rebuilt in a day. Knowing Capt. Rowan as I do, I feel safe in saying that he would not have destroyed the town if he had not had sufficient cause. "Gen. Funston is the central figure tn Manila. The natives flock arounS him wherever he goes to get a good look at him. Before Funston captured Aguin aldo, an American was not safe away from the protection of the soldiers in northern Luzon, but as soon as the capture was verified the situation changed. Americans are safe any where." Capt. Ingalls served In tbe commis sary department in northern Luzon. DEBTS LARGE. JAt a Fail ore, Xherafore Judge Sell ars Commits Suicide. Crawfordsvllle, Ind..

S5c Xaw ModeU btSt GO A BOOMING. Price of Vegetables High and Scarce at That. The hot dry weather of the past few weeks and more especially the past few days haa been, playing havoc with the local vegetable markets. The price of potatoes, which, were at year ago at SO cents per bushel, is now 95 cents. The tomato crop is very short and the price is more than, double what they brought a year ago. "This fall," said one of the prominent grocers on the avenue today, "people will have to live on canned fruit as it will be impossible to get green vegeta bles soon. "Peaches and blackberries," he con tinued, "will only make a fraction of a crop and the apples are only half the size they usually are and are bringing a slightly higher price than they did a year ago. "Peas and beans are all gone too. There are none to be had in the market today. The hot winds have withered the vines. And it is the same way with the cucumbers. The ones that are in the market are small. Roasting ears have not the flavor they should have and a few days more like the past few will totally burn the corn up." HOW IT VVOKKS. Government Wants to Know How Carrier Kegistry Works. The third assistant postmaster gen eral has called upon Postmaster Guthr rie for a report showing the number of letters and packages registered by the letter carriers during the fiscal year ending June 30, 1901. And also a report showing the names of the three car riers that registered the most letters and packages during the year. "There are 14 carriers connected witi. the main office, and sub-stations auth orized and required, for the conveni ence of the people, to register letters and packages on their routes for their patrons without additional fees or ex penses to the patrons," said Postmaster John Guthrie today. "The routes of each of these letter carriers supply the resident portions of the city with mail and each of these carriers have about the same opportunity to extend this service to their patrons. There ara eight of these letter carriers attached to the main office authorized to regis ter mail on their routes; two carriers at station A; one at station B and two at station C. The carriers that serve the commercial district of the city are not authorized to register letters or packages. "While the registry of mail at the postofflee for the fiscal year just closed has largely increased, tne 14 carriers required to register letters and pack ages only registered 222 pieces. The eight carriers of the main office regis tered 150, of an average of a little over 15 pieces of mail for each carrier dur ing the year; the two carriers at sta tion A registered four pieces of mai each for the year; the one at station B registered 15 pieces of mail and the two at station C registered 49 pieces of mail. John Ryan, carrier on route No. 8 registered 42 pieces of mail. George Dagg, of station C on route No. 16 reg istered 39 pieces of mail and Martin T. Lacy, carrier on route No. 9 regh?terel 22 pieces of mail. "These three carriers have been re ported to the postoffice department at Washington as having registered the highest number of pieces of mail and will stand credited with these facts. "The public should understand that this service has been inaugurated by the department and will be maintained to accommodate all those that wish to avail themselves of the service. It is always wise for anyone having mail matter of any special value to register it. The fee for registration is eight cents in all cases and neither the car riers nor any one connected with the postoffice department receive any of this." HAD TO THY AGAIN. John W. Bwickard Takes Second Civil Service .Examination. LeRoy Powell, secretary of the local board completed the examination under the civil service rules of John W. Swickard who lives at No. 615 Chand ler street, this morning. Mr. Swickard took the civil service examination several weeks a;o, but owing to a slight error in the interpre tation of the examination In reading postal cards he was required to under go another test. This is an illustration of the rigid rules and conditions imposed hy the department at Washington upon candi dates for government position. While the rules governing examinations are very strict, the examinations are con ducted on a perfectly fair basis. The examination papers of the various ap plicants are numbered, all the same number, and each paper assigned to a separate member of the board of com missioners for examination. The ex aminer is therefore unable to learn the author of the paper he is examining and consequently no partiality is shown. The examinations are of vast benefit to young men," said Mr. Powell this morning. "Everything is conducted on a fair basis for them and oftentimes applicants for examinations fall into good governmental positions. We rath er encourage young men in taking the examinations whether they pass or not." NORTH TOPEKA. Items Intended for this column should be left at the Kimball Printing company, tU5 Kansas avenue.

"Let the people of a city spend their money for things made at home, and thereby keep the money a t home, and a few years' time will show a wonderful growth for the town in the matter of improvements and popula tion, even if it is benefited from uo other source. "The ladies of the various ladies' clubs of the city have become enthused over the work of the Commercial club in attempting to so far as possible en courage home consumption of home made goods, and have signified their intention of influencing as much as possible their husbands and friends In buying home-made goods.

Expect to Hare Plant ia Opera tion Sext Year. Topeka people who use ice will In another year be free from the grasp ot the ice trust. A co-operative ice man ufacturing company, suggested toy G. II. Langdon, who lives at 1035 Tyler street, is in process of formation. The capital stock of the company is to be placed at (30,000, and If the de mand is for more it will be increased to (50,000. It will be divided Into 3,000 shares at (10 each, and it is expected the shares will be sold in blocks of five. Subscription lists to the capital stock of the association may be found at the Commercial club rooms, H. Clarkson's office in the Office block, and at the residence of Mr. Langdon, at 1035 Tyler street. No one person will bs allowed to take over five shares of stock, and there will be no vot'ng allowed by proxy. It is planned to give the share holders of the company ice at the cost of manufacture and iistribution, and the plan to bar voting by proxy is to eliminate any chance of the company falling into the control of a few and being run for the profit of a few, when it is being organized as a mutual com pany and for the benefit of the share holders. The subscription lists were arranged Friday, and already over a century of business men and consumers of ice have signified their intention of tak ing stock in the association. Many want to take more than five shares of stock, but it will be against the rules to do so. There may be 600 subscribers to the capital stock of the association, if each subscriber takes the regulation block of five shares and does not take less than five. A meeting of the sub scribers will be called as soon as 1.000 shares of stock have been sold and the election of a board of directors will be held. At this time the rules and regu lations of the company will be formu lated and a state charter obtained. Each person who is a shareholder of the company will be furnished ice at cost. It is calculated that this will not exceed 20 cents per hundred, and may run as low as 10 cents. A regular es tablished rate t-'"" made to what ice is Bold to outside parties. The mem bers of the company will of course be supplied first, and only the surplus ice will be sold to other consumers. It is calculated that from the profit derived from the sale of the surplus enough money will be earned to pay a dividend to the shareholders that may be con sidered a fair rate of Interest at least. Perhaps it may exceed expectations, and be the source of a liberal earning on the amount of money invested. Any one may Join the company, whether he be a large or small con sumer, and Ice may be obtained in any quantity desired. No one will be required to pay cash for their shares until the time of se curing the state charter. The company will be organized during this summer and an ice plant erected this fall, to be ready for operation early in the spring of 1902. RECEPTION TO SOLDIERS.

Over Four Years Ago She Told a Young Girl What Would Come to Pass and Gave Her a Piece of Advice. "More than four years ago, an un known lady came up to me and told me something which has made me very liappy." said Miss Mary Lyle McLach lan of No. 72 E. Third street, South, Salt X-ake City, rtah, to a reporter. "Yes, it was a prophecy and it came rue and I shall always be grateful to iher for the advice she grave me," she continued. "From the time I was thir teen years old until shortly after I saw this woman I was miserable. Every month I suffered horribly and I became weak and run down. My heid ached, I couldn't eat and I had a very severe roueh all the time. 1 could scarcely stand, and took fainting spells and was always dizzy and tired. Besides this ny liver and kidneys were affected. 'You can readily see," she went on, "that I couldn't get much pleasure out of life. Then this lady, whom I never paw before or since, came ur to me and told me that she knew how I felt and advised me to take Dr. Williams' Sink Pills for Tale People, for they had cured her daughter who had been in a eondition like mine. I took the pills and was better before I finished the first box. I am entirely well now but I al ways keep them on hand and take them (Whenever I do not feel as good as usual.

T. 47 DIE OF MEASLES Oa St. Paul and St George Island in Frozen Seas. San Francsico, July 13. The steamer Homer has arrived direct from Dutch Harbor, Alaska. The vessel sailed from .here last spring with supplies for the sealing stations at Dutch Harbor and on St. Paul and St.' George islands in the Prihyloff group. Thirty deaths from measles had occurred at St. Pauls and 17 at St. Georges during the past winter. On the day of her departure for this port. July 3, the only vessel it Dutch Harbor was the United States gunboat Concord, from Manila which had been in port about two weeks and -was to sail July 'S for Point Barrow with supplies and to assist the revenue fleet. The Concord may take a herd of reindeer from Siberia to various points on the Alaskan coast. All steam ers bound for Nome had left Dutch Harbor including the transport Warren which left the harbor about the middle of June. Dr. Newhall, a medical missionary, who. with his wife has been stationed among the Aleuts for several years, l-.as requested Gen. Randall in com mand of the military station at Nome to have the Warren call at Unalaska island on her way to this port and take fn board about 30 children who are to be sent to the Indian school at Carlisle, I'a. TIME LOCK HO GOOD. 21ore Light on Loss of Gold From Frisco Mint. San Francsico, July 13. Safe Kxpert Charles Walz has discovered that the time lock on the cashier's vault in the mint from which $30,000 was stolen, does not operate and has been out of order for an indefinite time. This has broad ened the scope of the investigation now In progress by secret service men. ns It is apparent that the robbery may r.ave occurred at any time between 3 p. m. and 9 o'clock the following morn ing. Little ChaDce For Agreement London, July 13. It now seems that ihere is small probability of an agree ment being reached between France Rnd Great Britain over the Newfound land question.

Summer complaint is usually prevalent among children this season. A well de veloped case in the writer's family was cured last week by the timely use of Chamberlain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy one of the best patent medicines manufactured and which is al ways kept ou hand at the home of ye pcribe. This is not intended as a free puff for the company, who do not advertise with us. but to benefit little sufferers who may not be within easy access of a phy sician. No family should be without a bottle of this remedy in the house, espe cially in the summer time. Lansing, la..

NEW TELEPHONES HERE Franchise Granted to the B. F. Pankey Company. Reduction of Kates Is Promised by the Owner. Water Company Hoddle Is Not Yet Cleared. The council last night refused to turn away from its determination to get dol lar gas for Topeka. In spite of the defiant appeal of the gas company, as a company, of its president, C. K. Hol liday and of Judge J. T. Clark, who founded the company, the council stood firm, and unanimously declared Its in tention of not rescinding the dollar gas ordinance. The appeal of the gas company for leniency amounted to a flat refusal to accept the terms laid down by the city. The gas company stated its case as fol lows: "To the Honorable Mayor and Members of the City Council: "The Excelsior Coke and Gas com pany of the city of Topeka most respect fully declines to accept the terms and conditions imposed by ordinance num bered 2244, and approved July 10, 1901, and hereby protests against said ordi nance, and any attempt to enforce the same for the following reasons: "First, said ordinance, if enforced, would be a violation of the terms of the franchise heretofore issued by the city of Topeka to this company without any reason or justification for so doing. "Second, because said ordinance, if enforced, would prevent this company from operating and maintaining its plant on a self sustaining and paying basis. "Third, because this company has at no time failed or neglected to comply faithfully and honestly with the terms of its franchise and render to the pub lic the best possible service at a min imum cost. Respectfully submitted, "CHAS. K. HOLL1DAT, I "President. "H. S. MORGAN, i "Secretary." In support of this formal protest, Charles K. Holliday made a short speech, in which he said the ordinance was hastily passed. He told of the im provements which the company has been making during the past five years. He said that the plant only pays from 2 to 4 per cent dividend, not a nickel of which is sent out to stockholders. "The competition is unusually severe here," said Mr. Holliday. "We are in competition with the best electric light system in the country, with gasoline lamps, acetylene lamps, kerosene lamps and tallow dips.. Topeka cannot be compared with Kansas City on prices, because Kansas City consumes as much in a month as Topeka does in a year. It cannot be compared with Leaven worth, because the company there con trols gas, electric light and the street railway. It cannot be compared with eastern cities, because the conditions are different. Compare Topeka with Lincoln or Wichita. In both of these places gas rates are higher than in Topeka. The actual cost of distributing gas in Topeka is $1.37 per thousand cubic feet. We ask that this ordinance be reconsidered, and a committee ap pointed to go over our books and be convinced that what we say is true." After Mr. Holliday finished his state ment, the communication from Judge J. T. Clark was read. Judge Clark states that he does not own any stock In the gas coxpany, but feels that it Is his duty to tell the council what a mistake it is making in trying to force the reduction of rates. The letter from Mr. Clark was quite lengthy. After the gas company had done it3 worst. James A. Troutman, council man from the Sixth ward, said: "I want to say to the representatives of the gas company that this gas ordi nance was not passed hastily, as they claim. The ordinance has been under consideration for a number of years. This council does not meet here to pass ordinances just for the fun of it. We do not meet here to pass ordinances simply for the purpose of repealing them at our next meeting. A repre sentative of the gas company, who is present here this evening (referring to Harrison Morgan, who had a state ment in last evening's Journal), gave an interview to the evening paper in which he cited the law on the gas situ ation, and also on the waterworks case. He even went so far as to state that the menbers of the council were, in their official capacity, a collection of abnormally developed jackasses. Mr. Mayor, I move that we proceed with the regular order of business." Mr. Troutman's motion carried unan imously, and the only thing which re mains to show the place where the bat tle occurred is the formal protest of the company, and the voluntary con tribution of Judge Clark. IN SECRET SESSION. The consideration of the waterworks case last right was in secret session. Nothing was done, however, except to hear statements by City Attorney Spencer and G. C. Clemens. Mr. Spencer's statement indicated that he had in general adopted the views originally advocated by Mr. Clemens, namely, that the water com pany obtained contract rights under the law of la&3 which could not be repealed by the law of 1S91. In sustaining this position, it was pointed out that the water company, in 18Sf. acting under the 1883 law, is sued bonds and mortgaged its plant to the Atlantic Investment company. Three mortgages were given, aggregat ing Jl,900.00i). One of the mortgages was for S.-CO.ooo, one for J950.0OO, and one for $400,000. The council did not begin the consid eration of the waterworks case till very late, and at about 11:30 the meet ing adjourned to reassemble next Tues day night for the further consideration of the waterworks situation. SANTA FE SHOP LAND DEALS. A dozen Santa B"e shop men were at the council meeting last night to pro test against the way in which the com mittee is trying to force them to sell their homes for the Santa Fe shop ex tension. They claim that they are not getting enough for their houses. Some claimed that they are not getting what the committee agreed to give them. A Mr. Evans stated that he had given an op tion on his two houses for $1,900, but that when he was notified to come and get his money, he found that he had been allowed only $1,600 for the prem ises. Several other cases of similar nature were cited. The trouble seems to be that the property holders were of the impression that they would get whatever amount they agreed to sell for when they gave the option, when as a matter of fact, the committee agreed to pay whatever price, the appraisers should decide the property to be worth. Sometimes the appraised value was less than the op tion value, and these discrepancies are causing trouble. Chairman Warner of the shop com mittee gave notice that he would call a meeting of the shop committee for the early part of next week, and meet with the aggrieved property owners. It is thought that the differences can be satisfactorily adjusted. ACTION ON THE ICE TRUST. The report of the ice trust committee was formally received last night, and adopted. The city attorney was in structed to draw up an ordinance in accordance with the findings of the committee. The report of the commit tee was as follows: "To the Honorable Mayor and Council. "Tour special committee to whom was referred the matter of Investiga tion of the ice situation as conducted by the Peoples Ice company, beg leave to report as follows: "We find that the Peoples Ice com pany practically controls the ice busi ness of the city, furnishing ice to their patrons only when coupons are used on a regular scale of prices: that all ice is sold by the cake and not by weight, and many other things not satisfactory to their patrons and the citizens of the city. After several conferences with the management of the Peoples Ice company they have agreed to furnish ice to the citizens not holders of cou pon books for cash in any quantity de sired on the basis of 10 pounds for 5 cents and 20 to 5 pounds for 10 cents, and have agreed to carry scales ami weigh all ice. Also that the price of ice shall not be increased during the pres ent year. "Tour committee would recommend that an ordinance be drawn, if such is not now in effect, requiring all ice wa gons to carry scales, the same subject to inspection by the inspector of weights and measuresjalso that a scale of prices be incorporated in said ordi nance. H. S. NICHOLS, "Chairman." TELEPHONE ORDINANCE PASSED. As was generally expected, the ordi nance granting a franchise to the B. F. Pankey Telephone company to put In an independent telephone line in To peka, was passed without opposition. An amendment proposed by Mr. Troutman providing that the company be required to at once lay its wires underground, was lost. The franchise has a provision that the company can be required to lay its wires under ground at any time the council may dl rect. The company will give to the city free of charge, 20 long distance phones. These phones will be placed in the city offices, the fire stations, and anywhere else the city may direct. Several representatives of the Bell telephone were present at the meeting last night, and it was understood that they might make a fight on the grant ing of the franchise, but they did not try to interfere. PAVEMENT KNOCKED OUT. The Kansas avenue pavement was Knocked out by a unanimous vote. This proposed pavement was to be laid from Tenth to Fourteenth. It has been conceded for several days that the pavement, would fail of passage, and the action of the council was no sur prise. The people who petitioned for the pavement went back on it, and filed such vigorous protests that the orig inal petition was overcoue. RECORD FOR RAPID READING. City Clerk Squires made a wonderful record last nignt. He read aloud to the council 220 pages of typewritten manuscript in the short space of four and a half minutes. How he accomp lished this wonderful feat it a mysterv, for he was distinctly seen to turn the pages of the manuscript, and his voice could be heard sometimes above the noise which the couneilmen were making. The manuscript was the ordinance making provision for a special assess ment for Central park. It was passed unanimously. NO BONDS AT PRIVATE SALE. Councilman Swendson introduced a resolution last night giving the mayor authority to sell the Santa Fe shop bonds at private sale, at par, without commission. Owing to the vigorous objection which Councilman Snattinger made to this method of procedure, Mr. Swend son withdrew his resolution and it was not put to vote. MEET AGAIN TUESDAT NIGHT. The council will hold another meet ing Tuesday night. It Is likely that most of the business of the meeting will be transacted behind closed doors, as It pertains especially to the water works case. POWER GAVE OUT. Paris, July 13. M. Santos-Dumont, the Brazilian aeronaut, made the offi cial trial of his balloon in the attempt to win the prize of 100,000 francs offered by Henry Deutsch for a manageable balloon, before a committee of the Aero club today. Starting from the Pare de Meudon, he reached the Eiffel tower in a quarter of an hour, and after sailing around the tower started to return to the Pare de Meudon, but lack of motive power necessitated a descent at Boulogne Sur Seine. The trials will be resumed later. Baldwin to Sail July 16. Tromsoe.Norway, July 13. The Bald-wln-Ziegler Arctic expedition will sail July 16. Mr. Baldwin accompanied by Dr. Otis and W. Schamp, who have charge of the equipment, will go on board the chartered ship Fritjof to Vardoe, where he will purchase Arctic necessities. From that point he will proceed to a small town near Archangel to get his horses and dogs. Capt. Strong Has Resigned. San Francisco, July 13. Captain Put nam B. Strong, quartermaster depart ment U. S. A., announces that he has resigned from the army for personal and financial reasons and that his res ignation has been accepted fc- Sere tary Root. The resignation followed the publication of an escapade in this city. Captain Strong and Lady Francis Hope arrived here from New Tork July 4 and registered as Mr. and Mrs. H. L. Hastings of Boston. Tevis Estate Cut in Two. Chicago. July IS. A special to the Tribune from San Francisco says: The will of Hugh Tevis. the young San Francisco millionaire, who "died in To-koha-na recently, of appendicitis, while on his wedding journey. ha.s been filed at Monterey. It divides his estate es timated at $1,000,000, almost equally be tween his widow, Cornelia Baxter Tevis, and his 9-year-old daughter, Alice Roalt Tevis. The daughter gets $80,000 in excess of the widow because of the deed to the wife of the residence at Monterey. Don'tWant Carnegie's Money. San Francsico. July 13. The San Francisco labor council has passed by a nearly unanimous vote a resolution advocating in a strong terms the re jection of. Andrew Carnegie's offer to this city of JTS0.00Q for a public library. TAKES IN LAK! New Transportation Combine Morgan Is Forming. Seeks to Control Shipments From West to Europe. THOSE IN THE DEAL. Ilanna, Grisconi, Cassatt and Widener Interests. Includes Penn and C. 0. Itoads With American Steamer Line. New York, July 13. A Herald spe cial from Philadelphia says that a combination of the Pennsylvania rail road, the American line, the Chesa peake Ohio railroad, a fleet of ocean steamers sailing from Newport News and the majority of the shipping of the Great Lakes Is said to be the ob ject behind the conference recently held In New Tork, which was attended by J. P. Morgan, M. A. Hanna, C. M. Griscom, A. J. Cassatt and P. A. 13. Widener. A combination of Interests thus formed in conjunction with the Ley land line deal would give to the pro moters and to the new combine the transportation from the lakes and the west practically to Europe. If the American line should come Into the reported deal, its vessels and those of the Leyland line would form a fleet that would be a formidable rival to the Cunard, White Star and German lines. POLITICAL GOSSIP. (Continued from First Page.) gress In this city for some time. Mr. Dey represents the radical prohibition ists and Mr. Lawrence the other ex treme. The peculiar part of the situa tion, however, is that at the time the biennial election law was under consid eration by the legislature last winter Senator Simons and Mr. Lawrence en tered into an agreement to support Emery E.Wilson for the position should the law pass and be held good, as he was to be Sumner county's candidate should an election be held. The present indications are that Mr. Lawrence wants to back into the race himself, and In order that his agreement may not be an impediment and to make his entrance more effective he has given out the statement that the governor has not only tendered him the position once, but he has went and gone and done it thrice. The only question Is, will he accept. As it was a standing jest with Jim around Copeland county last winter when visited by any of hi3 friends, that Mrs. Stanley controlled in these matters and that he was opposed to this law on that account, his friends are now wondering whether he con sulted that lady before giving out his interview and if not whether even this proposition may not be vetoed. Cowley county will probably have a candidate or two, but the fight will probably be between Mr. Lawrence and Mr. Dey, if the former succeeds in getting Into the race." There Is sedition fermenting in the Seventh district since word has gone out from some of its leading workers that the political ambitions of its num erous candidates are to be squelched and that the only thing the Seventh will ask for on the state ticket next year is one supreme court justice, in the person of Henry P. Mason, of Garden City. "Mason is all right," says John E. Junkin. of Sterling, "but who are these self-constituted 'leaders' who intend to nip in the bud the booms of Mort Al baugh for governor, R. P. McCulloch for atotrney general. Judge Martin for congressman-at-large, Billy Glenn for lieutenant governor and other good Re publicans from various parts of the dis trict. The Big Seventh was successful two years ago in landing four places on the state ticket because the boys out here stuck together, and can win'again by the same tactics not by giving the cold shoulder to two or three good men in order that one other may win. There is a liability that this leadership busi ness may be overdone in the Seventh." Harry Lusk rises from the depths of his sanctum in Parsons to jostle the state printer a friendly rap, thus: "W. T. Morgan, the millionaire editor of the Hutchinson News, is the only Kansas newspaper man that has so far visited the Buffalo Exposition." Since Herbert D. Crosby lost out on the appointment of receiver of the land office at Law ton, he has determined to go to the new country nevertheless. Mr. Crosby has resigned, or will shortly re sign, his position as claims attorney for the Rock Island. He will go to Anadarko, county seat of Caddo coun ty, to engage in a general law prac tice. Almost United States District Attor ney B. H. Tracy brought a new story from Kansas City the other day. It goes like this: A colored convict at the state peniten tiary was observed to wear a most un cleanly shirt. It was streaked with to bacco juice down the front. A friend observed the tobacco juice trail down the front of the shirt while on a visit to the prison but said nothing. Some time afterward the friend met the negro on the street, his term at Lan sing having expired. He saw again the streak of brown discoloration on his shirt front. This time he asked the man how he formed such a careless and un sightly habit. "Well, you see I play pokah. I play wif Mistah Tomlinson, Mistah Thomp son, Mistah Bahnes and Mistah Nac Fahland, captin ob de guard. That's how I done gone get into de habit." "But why didn't you spit over your shoulder?" "Didn't I tell yo' that I play pokah wif gentlemen Mistah Tomlinson, Mis tah Thompson, Mistah Bahnes an' Cap tin MacFahland?" Then the friend tumbled and asked no more questions. The suit against Senator J. R Bur ton of Kansas, which was brought in April of 1900, by the Merrimack River Savings bank of Manchester. New Hampshire, to recover $23,350 on prom issory notes given by the defendant in 1SS8, has been practically settled in the United States circuit court in Colorado. A Denver pajoer says: Senator Bur ton was served with the papers in the suit last fall when he was attending a Republican rally in this city. The com plaint stated that he had given the notes of the firm of Crippen Law rence, who subsequently assigned them to the bank. On motion of Senator Bur ton's attorney the case was transferred from the district court to the United States court. His answer was a gen eral denial of the allegations In the charge and also set ur that the claim was void Because or the statute or lim itations. The plaintiff then filed a re plication to Its original complaint and to this the defendant demurred. The demurrer also set us the statute of limitations and was sustained by Judge Hallett. The court also refused to grant the application of the plaintiff's attorneys to file an amended complaint. Senator Burton was in Denver on Wednesday and had a conference with his attorney, Charles H. Burton. It Is expected that the suit will now be dis missed. The "other side" has not been saying anything while the Republicans In the Sixth district have been holding mid night conferences on how to beat Reeder. It is now gossiped that Judge A. C. T. Geiger, of Oberlin, who is to be deposed from the bench this fall through the biennial election law, will be picked up to be run against the Republican nominee. Geiger has always had warm support from the Democrats in his Ju dicial district for Judge and they figure that he would be a most acceptable candidate to the Democrats for con gress. The fusionists are confident that they can beat Reeder. They had enough votes to do it last fall if either Tully Scott or Dr. Dykes could have been culled down. H. N. Gaines, L. T. Tount and J. H. Curran, members of the state commit tee of the People's party, with Albert Griffin and O. S. Allen, of the county committee, have issued the following statement which contains an appeal to the people of the state and Shawnee county especially to support the party: The People's party was organized ten years ago as a protest against the cry ing evils of the time. Those evils, grown greater as the years have ad vanced, are still with us and are still crying for redress. At the time of its formation, the farmers of the nation felt the heavy hand of oppression and revolted against the injustice which was being practiced against them, but since that time all classes and condi tions of men have felt the same heavy hand, and where one class only was then interested in its inception, now all classes are longing for the relief which must be brought about by legislation in accordance with the principles of the People's party. There never was a time in the his tory of our country when there was more need of the Populist party. There are many things which it has advo cated which have not yet been accepted by the people trusts which constitute the very foundations of human rights, and without which no government by the people can long endure. The People's party was formed for the purpose of promulgating these great principles, and as, until every one of them shall have been enacted into law, its mission shall not be fulfilled, we declare our determination to con tinue the agitation of its principles, and favor the maintenance of Its party headquarters and organization. We believe in the honor, manhood, integrity of William Jennings Bryan, and commend him for his championship of true Americanism. We sympathize with him in the great fight which he is waging in the Democratic party, ana will be glad if he triumphs over the re actionists in his party, and brings it out for true reform; but we believe our party should not again unite with it so long as it remains "a house divided against itself." THE WATER SUPPLY. None of It is Coming From the Hirer. Direct City Physician Judd has submitted samples of the city water to J. T. Love well for analysis, to determine whether or not the water which is being pumped into the mains from the Har rison street station is contaminated by the Potwin sewer and the asylum sewer, which empty into the river a mile and a mile and a half, respect ively, further up the river. The water company abandoned the Harrison street pumping station some years ago for the very reason that the water secured from the river at that point was not considered safe from a sanitary standpoint because of sewer age. The company at times during fires had pumped direct from the river. The water company claims that the water from the Harrison street sta tion is now all pumped out of a well sunk in the bed of the river. The city health officials are Inclined to believe that the water company has a pipe by which it pumps water into the mains direct from the river. If such be the case, the analysis of the water is quite likely to 3how that something Is wrong. Said one member of the city board of health today, speaking of the situa tion: "I feel confident In my own mind that the water company Is pumping direct from the river at Harrison street into the city mains. If this is being done, the water of the whole city is impregnated with disease and filth, and is rendered very dangerous for drinking purposes. "The board of health realizes that the situation is very critical. The city must keep its water supply pure, and yet it must maintain a pressure suffi cient to be effective in case of fire. The board of health is not inclined to per secute the water company and add to the difficulties which the company is obliged to encounter during this ex cessively dry period. But we think it our duty to protect as far as possible the city from danger of contagion and disease due to infected water." The report of the chemist on the con dition of the water will likely be ready within a few days, and when it is re ceived the board will determine on its future action. NOT PUMPING DIRECT. "The report that the water company is. pumping a supply from the old sta tion at the foot of Harrison street di rect from the river into the mains," said Supt. Jesse Shaw this afternoon, "is entirely without foundation. We are not pumping direct from the river, do not intend to, and do not need to do so. The old connection which was used many years ago is not now in use, and we could not pump direct from the river if we wished to at this time. "All the water which is pumped into the mains from Harrison street station is pumped from a well, the water being filtered through the sand into it from the river. The water Is clear and I believe is pure and wholesome. I be lieve there is no cause for alarm. In order to be on the safe side in case of fire, it is necessary during this d, y spell to reinforce our present plant. The boilers at the old Harrison street station are fired up, and the engines are going. We are pumping water constantly from the well and throwing it into the slough which empties into the river. In case of a fire we turn a valve and pump it into the mains." Heed This Ordinance. Fire Marshal's Office, Topeka. July 13, 1901. The attention of citizens is respect fully called to the requirements of th following ordinances. Ordinance No. 831 requires that the floors, closets, stairways, hallways, cellars and base ments of, all buildings within the fire limits, together with the yards, area ways and premises adjacent thereto, shall at all times be kept reasonably free from the accumulation of rubbish, waste paper, sweepings and loose, combustible material of every kind liable to take tire. Ordinance No. 861 prohibts the sweeping or throwing into or depositing In any alley or upon the premises at the rear of or adjacent to any building within the fire limits any waste paper, paper cuttings, wrapping paper, shavings, excelsior, rubbish or combustible material of any nature. The penalty named for the violation of said ordinances is from $5 to $100. In some cases these requirements have been continually disregarded. Waste material thrown into the alley by one party is blown by the wind to the premises of another, and much property is endangered thereby. Public safety necessitates a strict compliance with and enforcement of the above ordinances, and ,1 respect fully ask a prompt and careful com pliance with the above provisions upon the part of all our citizens henceforth from this date. Premises upon which any such accumulation of combustible material now exists within the fire limits, or elsewhere in the city where it can endanger property by fire, must be removed without delav. G. O. WILMARTH, Fire Marshal. Piano 'Workers Adjourn. Cincinnati, O., July 13. The piano and organ workers' national union closed Its annual convention here to day, after electing the following offi cers: President, Frank Helle, Chicago; vice president, W. W. Harrington, Bos ton; general organizer, Charles Dold, Chicago. New Tork city was selected as the place for holding the next an nual convention. Coburn Offers Prizes. Secretary of Agriculture F. D. Co burn is anxious to secure some good photographs suggestive of the great wheat croix and to do this will pay $3 for each of the best four wheat photos sent him at Topeka by August 10. These may be of wheat either in the bundle, shock or stack. They should be clear and sharp, and suitable to make photo engravings from. Mr. Coburn has in creased his original offer for one photo to four photos. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago, July 13. WHEAT Higher ca bles and dry weather caused a strong opening in wheat today, but on reports of rain in the northwest selling became gen eral and prices declined rapidly.

Fresh liquidation Ch ot .stocks considerably low er vesterdav, but there was apparently more substance to the afternoon rally than has been shown at any time .this week. Nothing that could be called, suj port -in the Wall street acceptance of the trm could be credited to any put of the Ua-i-ings. The late pause In the decline or pr!c waa on the surface the result of an ex haustion of liquidation preur. Nat urally enough th steadier tone of the Jute market encouraged the bc.' t among the pessimists of the street that after ad rain might come to prevent the ruin of the corn crop and thttt soma capitalists might be willing to invest in raiiroad s curitles at their present dtnres-d lovei. The monev market has been working toward Increased ease ail the wwk and one influence which helped to die. k tno tendency toward an extravagant iev'-i was the general conclusion bv b)H-rs and other close observers of ths move ment of money, etc. That owing to a reduction of lixbi today's bank statement ought to nhr.w a substantial increase. It was arenl, moreover, that even if the hnnk Krr--ment was disappointing. It. was mora I 'T certain that the week s liquidation 1, i greatly improved the loaning power of t;. La ri ks. For the first time this week it scrr,3 to be possible to obtain a hearing witii re gard to the optimistic side of the rn.p outlook. Traders who have been reck lessly selling the market are now wi.i to admit that perhaps the corn crop uation is not so bad as has been aint-t. This bureau has taken particular pains to obtain unbiased reports as to the w -i- rn crop situation, and while necessarily isms or less contradictions and Hsorep.'tnci- encountered a fair summary of press ad vices, private accounts and officlai re turns would be that the damage to tf?q corn crop of the Mississippi valley ii.is been exaggerated and larse room rernatfia for an improvement In conditionH. New York Stocks. New York, July 13. Wall Street The movement of opening prices was exceed ingly confusing and irregular, smrte stot-J.s snowing violent declines and a laree num ber of other moderate gains. No atten tion was paid to the gains in London of St. Paul, Union Pacific and Atchison and those stocks fell 1 to 2 points.

Other decline of about a point were shown by NorfoiK Western. Ontario At Western mid lirooklyn Rapid Transit. Rock JsUm1 opened up nearly a point and C'otisoiui. u J Gas rather more. Stocks fluctuated in an uneasy manner, members of various groups pursuing hj posite courses. After the opening ilea. there was an abrupt rally in St. Union Pacific and Atchison w hieh lr them from 1 to points over yesterd.-y's close. Louisville and H. O. were tj- wanted and gained 1, and 2 points re- kspectively. Fractional recoveries in Uni ted states tteel issues ttroutjlit out re newed offerings, sending the preforr-d wil der Id. Prominent weak stocks. inrluii;i:iT Missouri Pacific. Wabash pref-fred. f. -V O. and the Readings. General Klectri.i and American Tobacco lost 2'a prtint each. The sustained advance of tne lead ing grain carrying roads on the bren k in the corn market drove the shorts to cover and they bouyht liberally all around to ward 11 o'clock, causing a pretty g; rieral cancellation of losses and placing Ilia market above last nicht. The movement to cover shorts expend ed itself before the hank statement f'i peared and there were recessions of a point in active stocks. United State Steel preferred fell back to near th low est. Trailing was thrown into confusion by successive corrections of the bank statement on the tape, but there wer some sharp rallies In prices again.

TOPEKA STATE ,TOURNAL,-SATURDAT-EVENING. JULY 1. 1901 7 FIGHT IN SIGHT, Contest Over Lower Gas Hates Will Soon Begin. Company May Enjoin Enforce ment of 'ew Ordinance. PAY BUT A DOLLAR. Some Consumers Will Tender Kate Fixed by Council. Legality of the Ordinance Could Then Be Tested "Should gas users la the city of To peka rfus to pay gas company bills at the old rates, and what will be tlw effect If they do?" This l- the question which wos put to City Attorney .Spencer and to Mayor Hughe! this morning by a reporter for the state Journal. City Attorney Spencer said: "That Is a question which I Jo not feel called upon to answer. It is a difficult ques tion, and i don't think it is my place to try to te.i people of the city what they ought to do. It a gas ur refuses to pay gas bill, the light is then be tween him and the gas company-. The city has nothing to do with it. The gas company can sue the consumer. It i.- possible that the company will com mence an Injunction suit to prevent the city from enforcing the ordinance.'' .Mayor Hughes said: "It will be two weeks till the end of the month when the gas bills come due. There is time for a good many things to happen be tween now and then. The trouble may be in the courts before that time. I don't know what I would do if the gas company should try to collect a bill from me at the old rates." "Will the city pay its own gas bill?" "Was asked. "I don't know yet," was the reply. The city uses only a small amount of gas. The only city building equipped with tra jets is the city prison, ;So it S. not the amount of the bill which makes the i of interest, but the technical question of what attitude the city will ass-ar.e. The generai belief seems to be that the gas company will commence suit in the district court to enjoin the city fro .11 enforcing the dollar gas ordi nance. The gas company is a Kansas corporation, and whatever it dries it tviil have to do in the state courts. One city ofiicial said today, when asked for his opinion in the matter: "I think that the best way for people to do is to make a tender of the amount due at the dollar rate, and if the com pany refuses to accept that rate, to turn down their bill. That is what I will do. If the company wants to sue me. let it sue. It will likely shut oft rrvy gas, and let the bill go. But it won't hurt the people of the city half as much to have their gas shut off as it will hurt the company to do it. The people can find plenty of substitutes for gas. and no one would be seriously inconvenienced it the gas company simply went out of existence, as far as lighting is concerned." When the legislature cut down tele graph rates to 15 cents the telearapn companies refused to receive messages at that rate. People were obliged" to pay the old rate because they had no substitute for the telegraph. In the gas company's case, however, it is dif ferent. The uns coTtpany does not have anything like a monopoly on the light ing systems of the city. SOFT COAL TRUST. Several Eastern Properties Arranging For a Combine. New Tork, July 13. The Journal of Commerce says: gome definite progress in the current scheme for a soft coal consolidation has apparently been made. It is understood that interests back of the United States Steel cor Ioration are engineering a large under writing syndicate in the interest of that concern. According to current reports underwriting is being arranged for a SO.ooo.wo company which shall include several leading eastern coal interests It is stated that the Flat Too Coal Land association has already been ac quired at a reported price of 17.UOd.0t M though this can not be confirmed. It is intimated also that the syndicate is endeavoring- to secure large interests in the Pocahontas region. The Columbus and Hocking Coal and Iron ..many is believed to be involved and the Mas wiilon Coal company of Ohio as well The latter concern is now being orga Ized by Senator Hanna. The com pany's present capital is $1.(10" nno a nd it is understood it will issue jl 0"0 000 of bonds as well. The syndicate's com pany, it is said, will have an annual output of l.Ow.oOO tons. At the moment it does not appear that the statement of a general con solidation of the soft coal industry is under active negotiation. The organiza AP OPPORTUNITY is offered during the summer months To Piano Buyers in the way of a Special Clearance Price on all Pianos and Organs in our ware rooms. These prices go into effect 1 outlay Morning' J"y isth, Pianos Rented with privilege of applying the rent on the purchase of piano.

Philadelphia, July 13. After ten years of unremitting efforts by the In ternational League of Press clubs there Is soon to be established in New Or ange, X. J., the Home of Journalists. The last legal step preparatory to the active advance of the enterprise was taken yesterday, when articles of In corporation under the laws of New Jer sey were granted to the Journalists Home association. For the erection and maintenance of buildings the sum of $250,000 will be necessary. The larger part of this, it is expected, will be raised from the sale of a colossal imiga.zS.ne entitled "Bohe mia." which is to be issued next year. Its contributors will be the greatest novelists, artists and litterateurs of the world. Plans for the building are now in the hands of the architects. KILLS LITTLE GIRLS. Biro Results of a Coal Oil Explosion in Colorado Town. Louisville, Colo., July 13.The little 5-year-old daughter of Mrs. John C larks.. u and the S-year-old daughter of Jacob Peck, mayor of this place, are dead as the result of an explosion of coal oil at the Clarkson home. The children in attempting to buiid a fire in an old stove in an outbuilding poured oil on the flames, causing au explosion. HEAT INTERFERES. Orient Graders Obliged to Stop Work at Emporia. Emporia, Kas., July 13. The force of men and horses grading through Sec ond avenue for the Orient are having a hard time on account of the heat. Several of the horses have become overh'.ated and have died. A number of men are now laying oh from over heating, and one case of sunstroke haa been reported. FRENCHMEN CELEBRATE. This la the Anniversary of Fall of Bastile. Today the French people of Kansas City. ToDeka, Emporia, Lawrence, Ot tawa, Salina, Junction City, and sev eral other towns in eastern Kansas are celebrating the "Fall of the Bastile," at DeBang's grove, a few miles north of Reading. The celebration of the "Fall of the Bastile" to the Frenchman Is equivalent to the celebration of the Fourth of July to an American, and all patriotic Frenchmen attend the annual celebrations. It is the most Important of the French holidays. John Madden, the Populist politician of Emporia, has been invited and will deliver the big speech at the celebra tion. Will Close With XT Tela Tom. The Bernice Howard stock company will give their last performance to night. The old reliable "Uncle Tom's Cabin" will be the attraction. "Two side-splitting Topsies," etc., are not guaranteed by the management; they think that one of each character will be enough, but they have promised to have several nice cool looking chunks of ice for the river scene and a few bona fide bloodhounds to chase Eliza. The "Signal of Liberty," given Friday night, did not draw a large crowd, but the temperature probably had more to do with the box office receipts than tha quality of the play. Russians Celebrate at Tien Tsia. Tien Tsin, July 13. A hundred Rus sian officers, a band of music, two priests from Port Arthur, M. DeGiers, the Russian minister, and other mem bers of legations attended the cere mony today of the opening of the new concession and the unveiling of the monument erected to the memory of the Russians killed during the relief of Pekin legations. A majority of the Russians will remain to celebrate the French national fete, July 14. House Packed With Strikers. Reading, Pa., July 13.

It Will Be Conducted at ElEeno Only. El Eeno, O. T., July 13. The seven booths opened at 9 a. in. Friday and 5,104 persons were registered, mostly In the forenoon. At 4 p. m... there being- no applicants in sight, the booths were closed. The total registration at El Reno is 15,622. The work of registra tion can be more quickly done now than at the opening, because the clerks are "broken in," and much of the red tape has been dropped.. By noon all the company organizations were registered and the afternoon was devoted to strag glers. For the benefit of those who do not understand how the drawing for lands in the Kiowa, Comanche, Apache and Wichita reservations will be conducted, the following is offered: The drawing will begin on July 29, at El Keno, and El Keno only. While ap plicants may register at Lawton, there will be no drawing there. The drawing will proceed rapidly when begun and will be completed in a very few days. Some seem to think that only 125 names will be drawn each day. There Is no such provision in the proclamation. The force at work may draw 5,000 names a day, if they can. or 10,000. The morn ing after the drawing the El Reno land office will give out a long list of names in the numerical order in which, they have been drawn. 1 On August 6 the first 125 men will appear at El Reno and No. 1 will pre sent himself at the United States land office and file on the land be wants. No. 2 will follow and select. If No. 3 is not on hand he is set aside until the remainder of the 125 have filed. He is then given another chance, but be cause he was No. 3 he can not choose any land selected by men numbered higher than himself on that day. If he does not appear at that time he has lost forever his chance to file. The same arrangement has been made for the Lawton land oiiice, which allows 250 In all to select and file on cleams each day. SELLING OF THE TOWN LOTS. Washington, D. C, July 13. Judge Vandeventer, assistant attorney gen eral for the interior department, is preparing supplemental rules and reg ulations relating to the disposition of lots in the towns of Anadarko, Hobart and Lawton, which will be made public in a few days. The rules will prescribe the manner of the sale of the lots, the number that can be purchased by any individual, and the order in which the sales occur. A tine legal problem has been presented in connection with the interpretation of the provision of the act of March 3, 1S01, limiting the number of lots which can be purchased by any individual. The law provides that "no person shall purchase more than one business or one residence lot." It is not clear whether this refers to a single town, or to all the towns. It is contended by many that the provision will permit an individual to purchase two lots In each town, if he so desires, and it is probable that this will be the interpre tation of the department. The sale will commence af Lawton on August 6, and continue until the lots there are disposed of. The officials will then go to Anadarko and continue the sale there, and then to Hobart. If there are any lots remaining unsold at Law ton, the commission will return to that city and offer them for sale. A similar trip will be made to Anadarko and Ho bart, so as to dispose of as many of the unsold lots as practicable. All payments for town lots must be made In cash. The sales occur under the supervision of federal officers to be designated by the secretary. It is pro bable that Governor Richard3 will be selected to supervise the work. An auc tioneer will be appointed by the secre tary and will receive explicit instruc tions to permit an unrestricted compe tition in the sale of all the lots so as to guarantee absolute fairness and equity to all desirous of purchasing property.

POLICE JOTTINGS. Quarters at the City Jail Are Becoming Uncomfortable. Three Women Prisoners Paroled Because of the Heat. THAT SMALL BAD BOY. lie Just Will Go Swimming and Get Into Trouble. Judge Appreciates Situation and Discharges the Bathers. Mrs. Thorp asked Police Judge XJnd Fay for the release of the three women prisoners, two colored and one white, who have served most of their tme. She said they had taken tlieir enforced good ness without a murmur, and that the heat of their cells was intolerable on account of the tin roof over them. The court told her to use tier own judgment In the mat ter, so she paroled them with the understanding- that their remaining time should be added, to their next visit. The city jail Is practically empty, only three or four of the dozen prisoners who ate dinner there Thursday are Inside now. Judge Lindsay has a theory that it is too not ror a thriving run 01 crime, and is therefore too hot to punish old offenders who are awaitiner trial. The court made his appearance Friday afternoon at the proper hour, out as no seefcers or justice were on hand, he improved the time by telling- some very fine dialect stories lor the amusement of the hangerson. Robert Bamett was brought In by Offi cer Beville. Robert was violating Se ville's pet ordinance, bathing in the rag ing Kaw. Long did the bold copper creep from brush to sandbar before he made a rush and seized the wretched mud splitter in his mighty talons. Of all this and much, more did he apprise "hizzoner.' The court began telling the youth the same old fish storv about rock tiles and dismal dungeons, and everyone, the culprit in cluded, apprehended .his usual "wind up" Officer Eeville Arrives With His Hock of t Bold Bad Boys. in such cases: "Now, little boy, go home and don't vou do it aerain." Yesir.1' ans wered the ex-bather, just as dozens of his tribe had done in days gone by. But his bold "coppers hip" was not discouraged. He was resolved to make a record; so Fridav evenim? he tried it aerain with bet ter luck as to catch, but the same old thing by way of punishment for the of fender. This time he hauled five boys before the tribunal of justice to answer the same charge. They lined up around the distributor of justice and stated their cases in weak whispers. They got the same stereotyped admonition, the same old threats of the rock piles, stone ham mers ana so on. The valiant orncer looKea on witn the best grace possible under the circumstances. John Jones started to tell the iudare that he had never been drunk before. Attor ney fteed kindly but firmly corrected him; he meant to say that he was never arrest ed before. Mr. Jones then explained how he was overcome by the heat, knocked galley west in the prime or mannood without any warning. The court told him to go borne rejoicing, but stay in the shade lest old Sol smite him once more. Charles Phelps, better known as "pie face." the hilarious youth who was ar rested Thursday for making "goo-goo eyes" in the Salvation barracks meeting several weeks ago. was prosecuted to the bitter end by the stern disciple of Booth. They arose and confronted him three deep. He was simply overwhelm""! by numbers when it came to testimony. The brave Salvation policeman testified that the irrepressible culprit had scraped his feet on the floor of the meeting house. He had also used several spurious brands of language while addressing the sacred official. After a careful look at the beam ing countennnce of the youth. Judge Lindsay decided that be was guilty S3. 00 worth. W. C. Mitchell is the aged Individual taken in Thursday evening for getting in a condition bordering on the ragged edge of drunkenness. He came out of the 'hole in the wall at the request of the aner and told the court that he was from Missouri "a very sufficient excuse for being drunk," remarked "hizzoner" in a heavy aside, as he discharged the pris oner, but he first asked: "But say, where 1 Active Brains Must Have GOOD FOOD or Nervous Prostration Surely Follows. ...USE... t GRAPE-NUTS J TO KEEP OUT OF NERVOUS PROSTRATION BY PROPER USE OF FOOD.

He had started on a tour a la hobo with an older brother who had dropped him in Kansas oitv to shift for himself. He was on his way homeward when gathered In. He was told to keep a moving toward his paternal residence. At this stajre of the game Attorney W. TO. Harvev came in and examined the docket to' see if any of his friends were in need of his services. He said that his friend Schwartz would like a trial if it would not inconvenience the court to any great extent. Prosecuting Attorney Urmy said that it would be a great hardship and mentioned an uncertain day in the sweet bve and live as the proper time to try the case. "Huh! What's dat?" snort ed Mr. Schwartz, turning a withering glance in his direction. I randt sday arount here all the times waiting on you." An audible smile passed around the court room as Air. Schwartz took bis departure in great wrath. O'Neil and Davis, the two suspects who are held for instructions from Lincoln. Neb., were brought out and pleaded not guilty tin the charge of vagra.ncy against them. Attorneys Harvey and Schoch de manded that they be tried at once, but the court llxed Monday morning as the time. These parties evidently have friends or pals on the outside who wish them to get away in the near future. FRANCE IS WORRIED. Objects to English Vessel Tak- ins Soundings OS Her Coast New Tork, July 13. A dispatch to the Herald from Paris says that a cir cular published by a local paper at Avranches, a town on the coast of Brittany, informs boatmen and fisher men that one of his Brittanic maj esty's vessels will be occupied in ob serving the direction and speed of currents near the Channel islands from the middle of May to the end of August, and boatmen and fishermen are warned against approaching closer to this vessel than may be necessary for safe navigation while she is carry ing out this survey, undertaken in the interests of seamen generally. This has stirred up several Paris journals considerably, although the Channel islands, which comprise Jer sey, Guernsey, Alderney and Sark, are English territory. "Thus," says an editorial in the Au torite, "a warship of his Brittanic majesty, with the authorization of the French government, is studying our coasts, taking soundings and examin ing the currents in such fashion that on the outbreak of war, which daily becomes more and more probable, there will not be an inch of our coast line that is not known in every par ticular." Libre Parole, in an article headed "Treason on Every Side," says: "And now our naval authorities issue in structions with a view to aiding sound ings on our coasts by an English ves sel. It seems incredible, but it is true. The Avranchin anounced the fact some days ago, and it has not been de nied. An English vessel, with the con sent of the French government, is go ing to mark the points where our sub marines could take shelter or perform evolutions. The next thing we may ex pect will be that the people on our coasts will be notified that they must keep away from the seashore while English cruisers are practicing bom barding."

Oh, the panting, weeping, snuffling, sneez ing, coughing, husky-voiced throng! Disgusted with themselves, compelled to drop every interest and take an expensive journey to get relief from a most exasperating and misery-engendering malady. A dejected, listless, disgruntled crowd. Just listen to their tales of woe. Says one, between sneezes, "I don't see how my business can spare me, but with this I was worse than useless there." Another wails: "I could have had a desirable school at a good salary but the term begins the first week of Septem ber and there I would be unable to do more than attend to my nose till after a heavy frost." Another: "This is the harvest time for my business and hirelings won't half gather it in." Another: "I had to run away from a dangerously ill child I should have nursed, but, in my condition I was a disturbing element instead of a factor for com fort in,the sick room."

Our navigation of 190". covering f per cent of the counties of the state." says Labor Commissioner Johnson, "shows that there are only about 2- flouring mills in the state or a decrease of 30 per cent within the last 12 or 11 years. The general consolidation an 1 concentration of capita! and business all over the country is probably re sponsible for this decrease. Then. too. the inability of the smaller mills to cope with the larger ones in the manu- Old Windmill A relic or Kansas pioneer aays in Pweue and used for a flour manufacture until .lis. wnen It served several years as a plow factory. facture of a product acceptable to tne markets of the eastern states and of foreign countries, has probably added to this decrease, as a number of reports were received from small mills savins they were only doing a feed grinding business. Notwithstanding the decrease in the number of miiis the manufac tured product during this period has increased 150 per cent. Stiil but 24 per cent of last year's wheat crop was mill ed in Kansas. "The general history of the milling industry tends to show it is not tee large mills which build up a new coun try, but rather the small ones. The large mill is the result of progress; the email one the accompaniment and cause of development. These small cus torn mills servers a powerful magnet to bring trade to its immediate vicinilv from a district more or less extended. Th-re being a mill in the neighborhood, wheat is grown in larger quantities than it would be: for the farmer knows that he can trade off at least part of his own product for flour and fe.-d. thus making or saving the cost of freight one way on the grain and the oth-r way on the flour. They serve to make the farmer, the miller and every on! else in the district partners and kind red. The early settl-rs of the state had seen the effect of these small mills In the eastern states from which they came and an era of small mill building betran in the early seventies." The detailed history of milling is caught up at great length. "As eaiiy as 1 ?61," he says, "amid the uncertain ties of war times, the erection of a flouring mill at Atchison probably marks the advent of the milling indus try In Kansas." This was the id Ferry mill built by ex-Senator S. C. Pomeroy and is probably the oldest flouring mill In the state. Daniel Mullens, now the "miller king" of Colorado, and a mu'.ti mi.iionaire, was the first miller employ ed in this mili. The old Miliford custom mill, at Mill ford. Cray county, is also noted as a monument to thrift and industry. The machinery was shipped from Boston in 157.7. Part of the machinery was dump ed into the river at Westport Landing by border ruffians, but was afterward recovered. A full description and lllurated story of the "Old Dutch windmill at Lawrence," is also given. It was built ,hsi a Swedish citizen named Palm.

Mr. ShellarJarger tells very Interest ingly about their trade relations with the "Zion's Co-operative Mercantile In stitution," of which they bought wheat in Utah in 1S72, but they have never been compiled since to go out of the state for material. "Milliner in the Golden Belt" is the caption under which C. B. Hoffman, of Enterprise, writes. The Enterprise mill of Hoffman Co. he gives as typical of the industry in this state. The mill was built in lS6S-6: by his father, C. Hoffman. Its original capacity was 49 barrels a day. Now it is grown to one of the largest in the state. For the statistical compilations two hundred mills in the state report to the department. The total capital invested in 195 of these is $.?.59.2y.6T. During' the year 136 of these mills ex pended for repairs $147.77.25, fifteen paid $ti.ii:!3 for rent. 176 paid taxes to the amount of $40.72:1. 1 7. Insurance on 112 mills cost J44.6.3.:;3.

All other grain bought by 7.3 milis reporting amounted to $518,176.12. It is thus shown that the figures run up for raw material, with lo7 mills reporting, to $I3.;v '.S.;. or a erand total expenditure, 174 mills re porting, of $14.74SS0.90. Steam riower is used in 61 per cent of the mills of Kansas. The average dally combined capacity of 167 mills is Sa.002 barrels. The total output for the year, 112 reporting, is 4,951,136.

Two mills reported on barley meal, and they ground t.11.200 pounds of that. 102 mills reported grinding $2,672, 163 pounds of corn meal; 2.697,936 pounds of rye flour was manufactured by 22 mills. Other flour or meal manufac tured, 12 mills reporting, amounted to 703.420 pounds; 127 mills reported offal (bran, chop, etc.), to be 347,019,536 pounds. That part of this manufactured pro duct made by 152 of the mills represent ed J13.61u.674.20 in value. By compari son it is seen that 152 mills paid for the raw material utilized by 167 mills. Whatever values those 25 mills created represents the margin accruing to the total fmm which to take their profits and other expenses; 114 mills reported that the wheat flour they madeamount ed in value to $10,753,142.01. One mill made $v worth of barley meal; 9 mills leported that their corn meal products were worth $74.753.39. Rye flour made by 22 mills was valued at $37,719.04.

The needs thus recited are va rious. The first man up said: "The only legislation that would benefit our business, and also the consumer, would be a standard unit of weight through out the states. It would be of no ben efit in a single state, but if the stand ard weight of a barrel throughout the states was 196 pounds, and the same required to be marked on sack or bar rel in plain figures, all these goods required to be put in these sized pack ages (except for export), it would ben efit everybody and prevent fraud." But the biggest grievance of the mill ers is freight rates. They want them lower, lower, lower. They object to paying more for short hauls than for long hauls. And discriminations of va rious shades are deplored. Chief of all, The Modern Mills of Kehlor Bros, growth of flour manufacture In Kansas. world. however, is the cry "Give us equal rates on flour and wheat." The rate is 5 cents higher on the product than on the cereai. It discourages the Kan sas miller that foreign companies can get grain out of the state cheaper than millers get their flour to market. And then, too, arises the big fellow against the little fellow. One miller confesses that "the state cannot reach the trouble. The fact is, only one firm can bid for export, and through rates made to their party cuts out all com petition. A law- making roads charge by the 100 pounds on ear corn same as per 100 on shelled is wanted. It would protect local elevators. As it is now. THE EVER POPULAR THE BUCKET OF only charging freight on shelled weights gives the man with a scoop shovel and $75 the advantage. An equal freight rate to all and an equal freight rate on flour and wheat is wanted." Another conspicuous tendency in milling is aptly put thus: The gen eral trend is to build up large milis and crush small ones. The large mills of Kansas complain of unfair rates on wheat to the seaboard and unfair ocean rates on wheat out and flour returned has the effect to build up mills in foreign countries. The same thing is true in regard to milling in transit. It enables large mills to transport flour fifty miles or more for almost nothing, thereby enabling then to crush small mills which buy their raw material at home." "There are a number of parties do ing business in grain who get rebates," says still another, "and the result is These mills are the largest in that the grain is exported and ground in foreign countries and the home mills are unable to compete with the foreign mills. If the Kansas miller and the small grain dealer got the same rate as the large favored dealer this difficulty would be entirely over come. If somethirn- is not done soon toward that line the mills of Kansas will be practically run out of business, and the dairy business, which depends aimost entirely on the mill products for feeding purposes, will also be bally crippled, if not ruined. We simply want to have a law which gives us a court of appeals to redress wrongs, equaliza rates, etc." JULY 15th, and continuing until Saturday night, July 20 th.

As long as there are visiting girls to be entertained society will make the necessary effort in spite of the weather, show tnem a good time, and so send them home with an exalt ed idea of Topeka hospitality, for To peka has a reputation to sustain in re gard to her treatment of visiting girls. The nast week has been one of the quietest this summer as everyone who could conveniently leave has done so and there have Deen few social events large enough to reach the ears of the society reporter. Wednesday evening the Vespuccian club picnicked at Gar field park. They expect to give one every month. Thursday evening Mrs. D. P.

Mr. Otis Dai ton gave a very enjoyable porch party Thursday evening in honor of Miss Loeia Atterbury of St. Joe and Miss Looseman of Detroit.

HARBOR Buekboard drives are indulged In as much en ever, the same number of ca noes are tipped over in Frenchman's bay on account of the earnest conver sation of two people in paid canoes, and the same number of couples are strand ed on the islands in the bay because they are so occupied in watching the scenery that they forget all about the tide. By the way, I hear that the fish ermen thereabout make quite a re spectable living- by rescuing these ab sentmtnded people. New style or old, the Bar Harbor girl is a stunner. She is strong and athlet ic, with less languor than the Newport maiden, but quite as much knowledge of the world. She believes in being chums with a man, because she knows, wise girl, that this chumming Is the surest plan for ensnaring his unwary affections. So she rolls up her sleeves and burns her arms recklessly as she rows and plays golf. She climbs moun tains, and she helps him sail his boat, but ail the time under her innocent ex terior she is "getting in her deadly work," as my small brother puts it. Btit don't make the mistake of sup posing that she roughs it as regards her clothes. True, she wears short skirt, but it is of daia-) ty white pique witn a satin belt and a snowy shirt waist of cob webby texture. Her stout little shoes are of the shiniest patent leather, and her golf stockings rival the gor geousness of the many hued but terflies. As for her sailor hat. Burns her arrag recklessly who shall describe it? It is white of course you mustn't wear anything else at this time of the year but it has S wmcii iia.Li.eis me complexion i and makes even the plainest girl look ht3 uhfin wo all Hpnv t t c sound and had a chicken and popover .i ill!

The sun beat down on us, and the only vegetation was composed or mountain laurel and stunted blueberry bushes, which clung for dear life in the crev ices. Lucy Whitcomb promptly gave out and had to be almost carried up the hill by Dick Nieholis. She is al ways doing that sort of thing, and real ly it is suspicious, particularly as in this case Dick was the one desirable man in the party. It's funny that men never see through this sort of thing, but well, there, I shan't interrupt my self to moralize. When we finally reached the summit we felt It was well worth the trouble.

The very latest idea is that lace'a sub tle grace should be still, further enrich ed, and artificial jewels are set firmly so that the r. t3? f gleam of dia mond, sapphi or ruby will emphasize the design of the lace without detracting from, its flexibility. Imagine an old alencon lap pet studded with tiny sap phires, a dia mond here and there tc mark a

There is an Infant in Liverpool who, when he gets old' enough to read about Sisyphus, will know how to sympathise with that mythical Greek. Baby Was not in evidence on a. certain afternoon when a visitor called on his mamma and asked if he were asleep. "Oh, no," answered the mother. "He's wide awake, but he's busy just now, and babies never cry when they are busy." And the mother opened the door of the bedroom that the visitor might see for herself. There on the rug. spread where the sun would not catch- it, sat his little lordship, as- sober as a judge, doing you'd never guess what the child wa doing:. His hands had been smeared with some sticky- substance, and to ne of them stuck half a dozen tiny feath ers. Baby gravely picked the feathers off his left hand with his right and then as solemnly set to work to pick them off his right hand with his left. "My mother always kept her babies quiet that way," said the young ma tron, "and I find it works beautifully with Algernon. I always fix his hands so when I expect company, and he'll sit for hours trying to get the feathers off." THE CARE OK PEARLS, If you happen to be one of those for tunate people who possess real pearls, wear them constantly. In this way you will prevent their being spoiled by a wicked little microbe which is said to attack them when they are laid away. Thi3 little parasite eats through the outer coating of tie pearl, completely destroying its lovely uhlne and leaving only the dull suTJstanee beneath. Some fair owners of pearls, so the tale goes, wear their necklaces always, even at night, in order to protect them from their microaccj-tc foe. .J JU. 'I i i M SHALL WOMAN ON HORSEBACK RIDE THE CROSS SADDLE? OME ladies who play polo and follow the hunt have found the sidesaddle an unsafe and in convenient seat for such ac tive field exercise. They have therefore adopted the fashion of riding astride. One of the most not ed horsewomen of New York's exclusive social set declares she will never ride a sidesaddle again, and she has friends who agree with her. Boston for some time has looked fa vorably on the innovation, which is really no innovation at all, but only a revival of the ancient custom. The sidesaddle waa invented for Anne of Bohemia, wife of Richard II, because she waa crippled in one of her lower limbs, and the deformity was manifest when her majesty bestrode a horse. Ladies at the Boston horse show ap peared riding In divided skirts special ly designed. The costume of the New York ladies who ride astride ia differ ent. Instead of the divided skirt, close knickerbockers and top boots are worn. Outside of all is a coat reaching to the tops of the boots. In this costume the women of the New York Four Hundred "quit themselves like men" on the hunt ing field and on the polo ground. Wearing the knickerbockers and boots and riding astride, the New York lady who originated the costume, as well as some others who now wear it, take jumps on horseback that are said ocasionally to surprise even the best men riders. These ladies are the wives mostly of field sportsmen, who aid and abet their athletic aspirations and eoaifch them in the equestrian games. Chicago women riders are divided o the divided skirt and cross saddle ques tion. Some declare it is the only way, others that riding astride by women is extremely unladylike and they would die before they would mount a horse as Joan of Arc did. Brooklyn has put itself on record emphatically sgainst the cross saddle fad. The Brooklyn Biding and Driving club, the leading equestrian organiza tion of the city,: frowned with brow deep furrowed upon the proposed change. The ladies of the club affirm that the good old way is good enough for them, and they intend to ride in it. And some opponents are f opinion that it looks better for a woman even to lose her life in a ladylike manner than to be unladylike and save it. There be others who., assert with yet more emphasis that, no matter how strong, athletic, active or physically ambitious a wo man is, she has n business to engage in any sport that will necessitate the wearing of other tjian the strictly con ventional garb of her sex. If the side saddle is unsafe; if, as the physicians testify, it makes a woman one sided and causes in time curvature of the spine, then let her not ride at all. Physicians in England, where women ride horseback more than in America, first called attention to the tendency of the sidesaddle to make the female figure lopsided. So pronounced was the tendency that young girls who were learning to ride were ordered by their medical men to sit awhile upon one side of the horse, then upon the other, to de velop themselves equally. It is very common in Hyde park, London, to see young women riding with their feet upon the horse's right side instead of the left, this, of course, necessitates two saddles, one for the left side mount, the other for the right. It was from London that the present fad of women riding astride was brought to the eastern shores of Amer ica. The first woman in New York to appear on horseback man fashion waa a young and beautiful English actress, who rode astride in Central park. It made a sensation at first, and the girl Just escaped being arrested. After sev eral repetitions of the spectacle, how ever, it ceased to shock, and now the municipal nerve has become more steady. So far as heard from no cross saddle riding lady has yet disturbed the steady flowing nerve current ef Philadelphia. In the mountain region of the west ern United States women have always ridden astride more or less. The Indi an women, who never knew any better, probably set the fashion. It is not like WOMAN'S ODD LITTLE ISS PTTGO ana Mrs. Terry met in the train going home from shopping. "1 do wish you'd stop off at my sta tion and go home with me to dinner. can't you?" said Miss Pugg to Mrs. Terry. "Oh, dear, no, 1 can't; I must go home to my Baby." said Mrs. Terry to Miss Pugg. "I aever let anybody touch himself but myself. I bathe him with my own hands and tie his little bells around his neck with rib bona to match my dress when I take him out. I have nurse attend te the children and keep them out of my way all day so that I can have time Just to look after Baby. Nurse can ee to the children's baths, but Baby Is sure to take cold if I let anybody else wash him. I have t see that his fur is thoroughly dried. You should see him skip about and dance after I wash him, for ali the world like a little agel." "How old is the dear thing?" said Miss Pugg to Mrs. Terry. "Oh, just turned a year. But he's more intelligent than a good many grown men. He sits at the table with me upon a chair. I make Teddy eat in the nursery" with the twins to make room for Baby. He has his velvet cushion covered with a fine linen doi ly so he can't feel the velvet with his T ly, either, that the pioneers of Colorado and California thought to take side saddles as part of their outfit. There are also mountain passes and canyons w here the side mount is dangerous. At some of the mountain and mineral spring resorts are show places that can only be reached by riding burros over rocky paths where a misstep of the an imal would mean death to the rider. foot? i eutUocer, FrU. DINNER GOWN OF Here women visitors are requested to ride man fashion for their own safety. Sometimes they refuse, and, oddly enough, it is usually the ladies that are what is called "mannish" in appear ance and manner who thus decline. Wyoming is one of the states where women in some localities ride the cross saddle, and nothing is thought of It. In Denver graceful young girls dart through the beautiful streets mounted astride on swift ponies without attract ing as much attention as a woman upon a sidesaddle would do. It is all in the fashion. In the Hawaiian Islands to this day women, white and brown, ride astride. The native women lope through Honolulu astride of their horses, with their brilliant red Mother Hubbard gowns flashing in the light. The white women in Hawaii wear on horseback some sort, of a divided skirt, which is both hot and heavy and not graceful. BY TABITIIA SOTJEGaAPES. sweet little toes. I don't think he likes the touch of velvet; seems to cringe from it and cry. Oh, I'd die without Baby, I know I would. I'd Just expire. He sits on end beside me and puts up his blessed fore paw toot sies and begs for meat. I put away the finest bits of chicken for him al ways. You wouldn't believe how he likes ice cream. When we have it, and it runs short, I make Teddy do witheut so Baby can have his share." "Dear me, how sweet!" murmured Miss Pugg te Mrs. Terry. "But I never saw him. What color is he?" "Black, with a few white spots," said Mrs. Terry. And Sourgrapes waa horrified to find Baby was a dog. "But you look pale and sad. May I ask why, if it won't grieve you too deeply?" said Mrs. Terry to Miss Pugg. "Oh, oh, Fve lost my Sweetie," she sobbed, "my own, o wriest Sweetie! She's dead. We did all we could to save hei-, but she was getting very, very old. almost 7 years. Sweetie would put up her dear littie paws and her cunning little face to be kissed. She knew how to kiss as well as I do, and she used to lift her little angel nose and kiss me right on the mouth too cute for anything. When she was younger, she used to chase her tail Personally my only experience of rid ing man fashion waa had in Hawaii, going down into the crater of Kilauea and afterward through the under growth and over decaying logs into the wonderful fern forest on the same mountain. From that trial I can testi fy that the cross saddle for women is much more secure and comfortable and less fatiguing than the sidesaddle. In the far north of Europe the sidesaddle fashion has never prevailed, and wo men ride as they always have ridden, astride. "Use breeds habit into man." If the fashion should go into permanency, it will be nothing thought of In a year or two more in up to date regions. In the extreme rural districts, however, some time will elapse ere the. popular blood ceases to be curdled as it was at Oak Gap at sight of the new fashion. Oak Gap is in a mountain region which has little intercourse with the outside world. In that region the women all use tobacco, and the trading of wives is nut altogether unknown. A health resort is some 20 miles away, and visitors from there go to the gap to view the exceeding beauty of the landscape LACE AND SILK. Some years ago two ladies belonging to the most select circle of high life at home went on horseback astride to the gap. It was a fearful shock to the mor al sense of the Oak Gappers, one from which they never recovered. To this day, instead of dating events from the birth or death of their children, they date it from that cross saddle ride and say of this or that thing in the plain English of the rural regions: "It happened the year them two wo men come a-stradlin down the gap a-horseback." 1 ALICE W.

I had to give up taking mother out to drive. I couldn't be bothered with anything else when Sweetie was so ill." Again Miss Pugg's eyes filled with team, her voice with nobs. It was some time before she calmed hernslf sufficiently to go on. "First, she got bo she couldn't bark when I had been away and she heard my voice in the hall. I thought my heart would break when I no longer heard Sweetie's Indescribable bark that used to shake her ail over from end to end. Then next she couldn't roll her ball over the floor any more. Then she would just lie stili, with her large, ineffable dog eyes fixed on me by the hour. Kteila Softie always thought her red Irish setter child was finer than my Sweetie, but, la. there was no comparison! There never was an angel like Sweetie! I always made Sister Tottie sleep In the nureery and took Sweetie in bed with me. It cuts me to the soul now when I wake in the night and miss her little cold nose against my cheek. Well. I had the dearest little rosewood coffin, lin ed with ivory white satin, for her." And once more Sourgrapes was hor rified to find that Sweetie was a dog. 4

Two little riris who are attracting considerable attention in local musiea and theatrical circles are Pauline and IXirothy Marshall, aged. 12 and 14 re foectively. who live at Xo. 219 East i-ieventh street. Their first appearance here in pub lic wa. on February 22 at the Chil dren's Carnival given at the auditorium, They have, however, entertained both In jahlic and private since that time and ropeared in private a great deal before the Children's Carnival. The children were born in Garden City, this state, and have ever since childhood shown a fondness for music. The little git Is sang together until more recently when Iorothy, the older of the jo. turned her attention to instrumen tal music. Little Pauline has a wonderful child's Voice. She has as yet had practically no training, but she w ill soon begin to study vocal music with the end in view of coins' on the concert stage. Recent ly sne sang at the Chautauqua Assem bly at Ottawa, where lYofessor S. F. Cravens, instructor of music at the Ot tawa university, and formerly of To-pe'-ca, heard her and predicted remark able things for her in the future. She tirt.tdy has a remarkable ranj for one so young and fur one who has Irci :io technical training. She sings with great ease and accuracy music written as high as high i and can reach O above high U. The rendition of the lower notes is more Uiiiicult for her but she goes as low as low F.

She is in the eighth grade in sehoo! and will be ready to enter high school next year at the tender age of 13 years. She aiso has an aptness with the water colors and has made several sketches, which although I hey ore lacking in some points indicate tiiat Fhe hr-s ability in that direction shouid she chr.iiff, to cultivate the taste for art.

MRS. PISKE'S PLAYS. Sbo Prevents English Piratical Ven tures Involving Her Production Mrs. Fiske owns the Knglish rights to Ijingdon Mitchell's dramatization of "Vanity Fair." When arrangements were made to copyright "iiecky Sharp" in Kngiand. however, it was found that J. Barrie owned that title, he having several years ago copyrighted a one art play taken from "Vanity Fair" in Kngiand under the title of "'iieeky Sharp." Afterward arrangements were made whereby Mr. iBarrie transferred to Mrs. Fiske his right to the title. These facts are interesting in connection with Miss Annie Hughes' production in Lon don at the Grand Theater Croydon, on June 22. of a play from "Vanity Fair." entitled "P.cky Sharp." It "appears that Miss Hughes has not onlv taken this title, but also that her play is Fomething more thuri u "colorable imi tation" of Mrs. Fiske's drama, as it adopts practically the arrangement of Thackeray's material original with Mr. Mitchell as well as the se(iince of acts and incidents." As Miss Hughes was 1 7, notified of Mrs. Fiske's Knglish rights previously to the London production, steps will be taken to protect thse rights. Mrs. Fiske was successful in defend ing "Tess of the I'l'rl.evilles" from piracy in London. About a rear ago M-s. Lewis Waller, a sister-in-law of t'lement Scott, produced at the Comedy theater, London, a dramatization of Hardy's novel that evidently had been based on Lorimer Stoddard's dramatiza tion, the Knglish as well as the Ameri can rights to which are owned by Mrs Fiske. Proceedings were begun agair'st Mrs. Waller and those concerned in her jjroduction, and an injunction was is sued Temporarily restraining them from representing the play, t'pon legal in vestigation it was found that the de- :7to, TKI5 GREAT CENTRAL RAILWAY SY5TEM OF AM ERICA COMPRISES Tjj 0& S r mi Heir York Central Hadaon BlTer, C C.

EDWIN BOOTH'8 TOLERANCE. Stories That Indicate His Kindly and Helpful 'Ways. To illustrate the; difference between the methods el some of the old-time ragedians and the leading actors of the present day. James A. Bradbury, of "The Village Postmaster" company, whose clever work in the piart of Kbenezer Todd has won him a great deal of praise, told a few stories of Booth one evening- last week, says the Chicago Chronicle. "Booth was one of the kindest, gen tlest men with whom I have ever come in contact." said Mr. Bradbury. "You never would hear of any suits brought against him to recover damages for harsh treatment, and none of his act ors and actresses ever had anything hut the highest regard for him. I played with hin while I was with the Boston Museum company, from liO to 1SS3. and I shaii always remember it as one of the most pleasant engagements in my life, as well as one from which I received a great deal of benefit, for to act with Booth was a liberal educa tion. "An Incident which well illustrates his nature occurred during a leh.-arial V -'v, Vs K .-ii l of 'Hamlet.' There was one young man in the company who always imi tated Booth as much as possible. When he walked on the street he put his hand in the breast of his boat and as sumed the tragic aspect, and when he was on the stage he watched the great actor carefully, trying to follow him. although the business that was correct in Booth's part often was entirely im proper in his. In delivering a speech at one rehearsal this young man put his foot on the steps leading to the throne and spouted away in bis most bonbastic manner. "When he had fin ished Booth pointed out to him that in the subordinate part he was playing he should not become so familiar with royalty and administered a gentle re buke. "The young fellow was so much In earnest that he felt the reproof keenly. His face flushed with the mortification and the tears came to his eyes. Notic ing the young fellow's embarrassment. Booth stopped the rehearsal right there and commenced to tell a funny story. In a moment he had everybody laugh ing and soon the unpleasant incident had been entirely forgotten and he re sumed the rehearsal. I wonder how many stars now on the stage not as great as Booth would do such a thing nowadays. I also had a personal experience which I remember well. I was cast for the part of the physician in 'Mac beth.' I had two small scenes and in a wav thev are so much alike that actors frequently make the mistake of forgetting the second scene entirely, go to their dressing room and put on their street clothes. I got along all right with the part for several weeks and then one night I forgot this scene. I bad my make-up washed off and was nearly undressed when I heard the call boy and everybody else yelling for Bradbury. Then I remembered that scene, f wore a long gown and cowl, and I slipoed these on in minute, put on my wig as i ran lor trie stage, anu turned up my trousers so tnat my stockings would show under the gown instead of my trousers. I got through the speech in some way. but wnen i got off the stage I never betore- telt so bad in all my life. Booth saw the tears of mortification in my eyes as I tried to anologize to him. 'Never mind, my boy. never mma. said he. 'If you hadn't forgotten that ene at least once during this engage ment I snouia say umi vou cumu nui plav the part properly.' Mr. Bradbury has made a pro nounced success in character parts such as he is now playing. Before joining "The Village Postmaster" he appeared in New- "Fork in David Belas co's "Naughty Anthony." HOW TO SUCCEED. Theater Manager Gives a Tew Points to Other Managers. Frank J. Wilstach. who will star Ade laide Thurston, the "Lady Babbie,"seen in Topeka. next year has formulated the following rules of how to succeed in the show business: 1. Accept that play which the shrewd and successful managers have declined. 2. Ask th advice of your friends and then go and do otherwise. 3. Fail in New Tork if possible. Suc cess on the road is then assured. 4. Never lie about, receipts. If business is bad tell everybody the exact lig-ures. Aim always to surprise. 5. If your "star" is strong in the cities jump into the "tall grass" and get the money. 6. Don't feed the critics and starve the actors. 7. Give your "stsr" an interest in the profits, then she won't quit you when there are none. Women are ever specu lative. 8. In respect to plays, the unconvention al is usually unprofitable. 9. Curtail expenses when you have a success, increase them when you nave a doubtful property on your hands. 10. One sheet of beautiful paper is worth 500 that are unattractive. 11. Always speak handsomely of op position "stars." It is only magicians and "nigger singers" that are licensed to knock. 12. Don't sneak into town "on rub bers." If acquainted with the alchemy of advertising., a pint of printers' ink may be converted into a hogshead of ffold. 13. It is cheaper to store scenery than to try to make the public accept what it does not like. 14. Always rush in where "angels" fear to tread. A play which an "angel" is willing to back with cash never suc ceeds. 15. Plays and real estate are much alike; it is difficult to dispose of pro perty with a bad title. 16. The public often judges the play and players by the manager.Large je w els indicate a small stock of gentility, just a sa bedizened and sparkling shirt front is the mirror of an unpolished brain. It is only the ten. twenty, thir t'er who finds it profitable to flash screaming yellow diamonds on the pop ulace. The low-brows are dazzled by headlights. 17. Don't mistake the theater-goer for a shotgun and attempt to ram unpalat able dramatic morsels down his throat. If you do you are likely to gather an early and intimate acquaintance with the hospital presided over by the sher iff. 1. It is always wisdom to accept the inevitable quickly. While you may suc ceed in deluding yourself you are not likely to fool the public. 19. Be persistent, but not afraid. For tune can be compelled. Yet, after a big success retire MAKES LYCEUM CONTRACT. Lecture Bureau Course to Ba Given at the Crawford Roy Crawford has secured a contract with the Slayton Lyceum bureau, Stein way Hall, Chicago, for a series of six attractions here this winter.

Several persons made quite a. business o; copvrihting titles, sending them to the librarian of congress in strings of 50 to at a time. As the cost wa-s only j- cents a title for copyright the project proven quite profitable when one found he couhj make a producer buy from him a new plav name he had copyrighted without the remotest ieea of ever actually using it. A man holding a public office prn!irt pv this exnedient for years.
