rf LAST ECITI0&'Vj TUESDAY EVENING. TOPEKA. KANSAS. JULY 10, 1901. TUESDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. ,4 rf f7 v0 y-.f COURT OF IIfliidR. It Will Supplant State Fair This Year. rian For an Enormous Free Out Door Show. THE FAIR IS GIVEN UP Meeting Held Today and Post ponement Is Taken. Improvements on Fair Grounds to Go On. llaces and Horse Show May Be Given In Fall. The first annual state fair to be held by the Kansas State Exposition will be Riven in the fall of 1902. This was de tided upon at a meeting of the direc tors and the executive committee of the association this morning. The sole reason for postponing the first event Is on account of the present dismal crop prospects. "We cannot af ford to go ahead and start in with show that will be a practical failure," said Chas. H. Samson, treasurer of the association, this morning. "Our first event must by all means be a big event. Aad we are determined to make it so. "Our preparations will be carried on just the same as though the postpone ment had not been made. The improve ments at the fair grounds will be look ed after this fall and next spring. The new grand stand and necessary addi tional buildings for exhibits and stable room will be built as soon as is possi ble and the race course will have what necessary improvements that are need ed made. "It is a deplorable fact that the weather has been such as to knock in the head all the plans made for the fair this year. The spring opened up with the brightest prospects for a crop and a consequent successful fair, ever known in Kansas. A few weeks with out rain, however, soon put things in another light. We are going to give the fair next year and there is no rea son why we should not have a larger and better show than we could have given this year. We will be in the lists earlier for entries to our races and we "will consequently be able to get some better horses here next year than we could have had this year on account of the short time to give notice to the Atorse owners." The Commercial club will almost im mediately begin work on the plans for m entertainment of some kind here this fall. It will most probably be In the nature of a Court of Honor. The idea was suggested by Major Anderson who at tended a street carnival of the same nature In St. Paul several years ago. The plan is to close up one or two blocks on Quincy street to heavy traffic, but leave open space at the sidewalks to permit of admittance without charge to those who attend the entertainment. Establish on the steps to the entrance to the auditorium a Court of Honor.over which will reign a mock king and queen. Erect pavilions through the streets and have them roofed over with canvas. Make the columns in support of the structure for the roof of imitation mat ble or something similar, and Illum inate the place with hundreds of elec tric lights. "My idea," said Major Anderson, "would be to spend a considerable amount of money in beautifying the place and make It an attractive fea ture. "The Banda Kosa wants to come here for a three days' engagement, and the carnival may be held at the time when the famous Italian band comes." Alman Barrett, the Kansas City the--atrical manager, who is managing the western tour of the Banda Kosa will be here Thursday or Friday to make arrangements for the Topeka engage ment. At this time a meeting of the Com mercial ciub will be called and the in itial steps in starting the street car nival will be taken. It is believed that the Gentlemen's Driving club, a local organization of horse fanciers, may be induced to ar range for an excellent programme of Vaces and give a series of matinees and a horse show during the after noons, wrfcle the street carnival feature could be carried out In the evenings 50,Q0lTpIDLE. Strike of Firemen Ties Up Wyo ming Valley Mines. Wilkesbarre. Pa., July 16. The strike of the stationary firemen inaugurated today has tied up nearly all the mines In the Wyoming valley, and a conserv ative estimate places the number of fnen idle at 43,000, This includes the men out In the Scranton district. Only about S00 of these are firemen. The balance is made up of miners, labor ers, engineers, breaker boys and ma chinists employed In and about the collieries. Every mine from Pittsburg to Naticoke is affected. Whan the whistles blew at 7 o'clock for work the firemen refused to re port for duty .and orders were then Issued by the superintendents to close down. The striking firemen thereupon returned to their respective headqua' t ers. where they held meetings and dis cussed the situation. President Mulla of the state as sociation, told the Associated Pres correspondent that up to 10 a m he had received reports fron the entire Wyoming district of the anthracite re gion, and only five collieries were working. President Muliahv estimates that 60,a00 men are idle. The coal com panies have pressed into service fieir foremen and tire bosses, who will be employed as firemen for the time being This is necessary in order to keep the pumps running and the mines free from water. At some of the collieries hoisting engineers who were asked to work with the new men refuoed and quit their positions. The Delaware Hudson company has two mines work ing1, and the officials say they have enough firemen to keep the pumps run ning. Several manufacturing concerns gave in to. the demands of the firemen to day, among them the Wilkesbarre Lace company, employing 1.200 hands, and the Hazard Rope works, employing 1, 000 men. The W ilkesbarre and Wyom ing Valley Traction company has told their men to go to work at the increase. AN HIGH OF RAH Eastern Nebraska and Western Iowa Get a Wetting. Omaha, Neb., July 16. Eastern Ne braska and western Iowa received an inch or more of rain, which began fall ing at 2 o'clock this morning. The showers cooled the atmosphere, reliev ing the extended spell of hot weather, and the mercury this morning was down to 68 at 7 o'clock. The prospect is for much cooler weather during the day. Fairly liberal rains are also re ported in the Black Hills. WARMING UP IN CHICAGO. Chicago, July 18. At 10 a. m. today the temperature was 85. the hottest for some day. The humidity added to the general discomfort. The morning fore cast predicted still hotter weather for this vicinity. Ther are indications of showers late this afternoon or tonight. As a result of the continued hot, dry weather vege tables are attaining prices which to poor people re almost prohibitive. Po tatoes show an increase of 25 per cent; products of oats and corn 10 to 25 per cent; fruit and vegetables 10 to 50 per cent. RAIN CAME TOO LATE. Ivansas City, Mo., July 16. Miami county, Kan., two counties south from Kansas City on the Missouri line, ex perienced a good rain last night, the first since April 13.. It came too late and early crops in that county are reported a total failure. NO RAIN IN TEXAS. Dallas, Tex., July 16. No rain fell in any part of Texas last night or today. There were a few local showers yester day and five hours' rain last night at Texarkana but did not reach the Texas cotton region. The scarcity of water is alarming to the ranchmen. KANSAS HAS BAIN. Several Sections Get Showers Late Monday and Last Night. Kansas City, Mo., July 16. A portion of the drouth-stricken southwest has been relieved by rain during the past 24 hours. The rains which came at the end of a drouth of from four to eight weeks' duration covered southwestern Mis souri and portions of Kansas, taking in the southeastern corner of the sun flower state from Riley and Dickinson counties down to the Oklahoma line. The first break came when fairly good rains fell in Barton and Green coun ties, Missouri, and v-n the Oklahoma border In Kansas in Cowley and Chau tauqua counties and along the Union Pacific railway in Riley county. During Monday afternoon a heavy rain fell in the vicinity of Coffeyville. El Dorado and Wichita, Kas. At Coffeyville the people held a jubilee on the streets during the rain. Two coun ties west fronn Kansas City. In Jeffer son county, Kansas, a full Inch of rain fell Monday afternoon, while in Kan sas City a temperature of 101 prevailed and hardly a cloud was visible. Independence, Valley Falls, Welling ton, Wichita, Wamego, Okaloosa, Manhattan and Abilene report fairly good rains. In Wellington the rain was accompanied by a high wrlnd, wrecking buildings and Injuring some people. There the rain was too ?ate to save the corn, but will be of great help to pastures, alfalfa and Kaffir corn. RAIN TODAY. Fell Over Territory Contiguous to Kansas City. Kansas City, Mo., July 16. Rain fell over an area of eighty miles around Kansas City early this morning and reports from different parts of the southwest Indicate thunder storms and lower temperature during the day or tonight. At Lawrence, Kan., this morn ing enough rain fell to effectually lay the dust, clear the atmosphere and freshen vegetation, but not enough to do any permanent good. It is the first fall in that vicinity for twenty-six days. At Ottawa and Wellsville in the next county south "from Lawrence, about half an inch of rain fell. At Wellsville there has been no rain for more than three months and coming now it will do late corn great good if followed by more, otherwise the corn crop in that county will prove an utter failure. Some fields are now too far gone to be revived by any amount of rain. Over one inch of rain Is reported at Toronto. Kas., two counties further west. There was a fairly good shower in Kansas City, early this morning, but at 11 o'clock the sky was cloudless, and the weather bureau reported a temper ature of 93. A good rain fell at Cam den Point.

City Council In a Muddle Over Waterworks Case. Must Decide Tonight What Is to Be Done. QUIBBLING GOES ON. Lawyers Appear to Want to Do Everything Over. Try to Ignore All That Has Been Done. THE TIME FOR ACTION. Franchise of the Company Ex pires on September 7. People Have Spoken by Voting $440,000 Bonds. Tonight the city council must take one of three alternatives in the water works case. These are the three lines upon one of which the battle with the waterworks company may be fought: First, the council may try to throw the whole question into the district court, as the original franchise pro vides shall be done. Second, three appraisers may be ap pointed, one by the city, one by the company, and one by these two, who shall fix the value of the plant, and terms of sale. This would be followed by a special election to decide whether the price and terms are satisfactory to the people of the city. The city has al ready voted $440,000 to buy the plant or build a new one. Third, a petition to the district court to appoint three appraisers, who would fix the value of the plant and terms of sale. This would be followed by pro ceedings like those of the second meth od. This plan is laid down by the act of 1S91, which repeals the act of 1S83. WHAT IS LIKELY TO BE DONE. It seems very likely that at the coun cil meeting this' evening, the second method of procedure will be adopted. It is the one advocated by the attor neys who have studied the case care fully. The ..understanding is that all three of the attorneys who represent the city favor the second method. At the meeting of the council last Friday night, speeches were made by City Attorney Spencer and by C. G. Clemens, explaining the whole situa tion. J. D. McFarland, the other attor new employed by the city, did not state his views. This evening, there is nothing for the council to do but to vote on what plan it will follow. Mr. Clemens, who was planning to go to Colorado today, says that he will stay over till tomorrow to see what the council does. He and Mr. Spencer will be present at the meeting, and probably Mr. McFarland will also attend. The meeting will likely be se cret. WHY THE SECOND METHOD IS THE FAVORITE. The principal trouble with the first proposed plan of action Is that the council, by ordinance, bestowed upon the district court powers which no body but the legislature can bestow upon it. The original franchise, or ordinance, says that if the city and company can not agree upon a price .then the dis trict court shall be called upon to de cide the question. Apparently, It was under this ordinance that the city and company appointed engineers two years ago; an amicable effort to agree upon a price. The effort failed. The rest of the ordinance is manifestly un constitutional. The third plan, being the latest law enacted on the subject, would natural ly be supposed to control, especially as it. repeals the law passed in 1S83. Law yers contend, however, that the law of 1883 can not be repealed; that the com pany and the city acquired "contract rights" under the 1883 law, which no legislature has the power to nullify. Moreover, the law of 1891 seems to re fer exclusively to franchises for water companies which may be granted sub sequent to the passage of the act, not to existing franchises.. Some lawyers, however, think that the 1S91 law will be held good by the courts. The second plan, which is likely to be adopted, seems to avoid most of the pitfalls of the other two. The plan 'a to have the city appoint an engineer, and the water company do the same, each to appoint the same engineer which determined the value of the plant two years ago. These two engi neers would select a third, and the re port, it is thought, could be ready within a few weeks. Then would come (Continued on Sixth Page.) Which Horn Will They Take? DON'T LIKE ENGLISH WAYS Americans Prepare for Tennis Match and British Fail to Come. New York, July 16. It is officially an nounced that the English lawn tennis team has decided not to visit this country this year. Bob Wrenn in mak ing the statement to this effect spoke of the action of the English players as "unsportsmanlike." He said: "The tennis association of this coun try accepted in good faith the English challenge for the International cup. Conditions were changed to meet their views and everything arranged to satis fy them. "Time and money have been spent by the Americans to have every detail per fect. After all this work we are noti fied, without any explanation, that no team will be sent over." SECRETARY ROOT HERE Head of the War Department Makes Brief Stop in Topeka. Elihu Root, secretary of war, passed through Topeka at 8 p. m. Monday on the Union Pacific en route to Fort Ri ley where he is spending the day in specting the military post. Secretary Root is traveling in the private car "Courier" and his stay in Topeka occupied only the few minutes the train stops in Topeka. Mr. Root will determine just where ELIHU ROOT, SECRETARY OF WAR, WHO IS AT FT. RILEY TODAY. the large sums to be used to improve the army posts will be expended. He is non-committal about what will be done at Fort Riley, or elsewhere but says that will all be determined after he returns to Washington. Senator J. R. Burton went from Abi lene to Fort Riley today to meet Mr. Root and confer with him about the forthcoming improvements. Secretary Root and party will leave Fort Riley tonight for Fort Crook. He will also inspect the post at Fort Leav enworth and Des Moines before he re turns to Washington. CHANCES ARE FAIR. That la What Observer Jen nings Says of Rain Prospects. The weather bureau holds out a faint promise of rain. Today's forecast is: "Partly cloudy tonight and Wednesday with possibly thunderstorms east portion this afternoon and tonight." Observer Jennings said this morning. "We have a lot of cirrus clouds today. They do not indicate rain, but they are indications of a large amount of elec tricity. The chances for local thunder storms are fair." Last night was much better for sleepers than the previous three hot nights. At midnight the temperature was 82, while for the night before it was 86. Last night there was a fairly cool breeze stirring. Today's minimum was 78 at 7:30 this morning. The wind has been south, blow ing 16 miles an hour.

SPECULATION ACTIVE Regarding a Probable-Early Set tlement'of the Trouble. Some Place the Limit as Short as 48 Hours. 74,000 MEN ARE OUT. President Schwab Sees Morgan About It. J. P. Miners 8nd Stationary Firemen Strike at Wilkesbarre. Pittsburg, Fa., July 16 All the plants closed yesterday were shut down tight today, and matters about the Painter mill, Lindsay MeCutch- eon, Clark's Solar Iron works, the j Monongahela and Star tin plate plants I were quiet. It was stated that Paint er s mill was in partial operation, but the only men at work were a few Hun garians who were cleaning up about the yards. Replying to the rumor that the management had brought a strike breaker from Alabama, Assistant Gen eral Manager Harper said: '.'We can break our own strikes." Superintendent Albrecht, encount ered a few moments later, said the plant would be running within a few days. Speculation as to the probable settle ment of the strike is active in all circles, and among business men and manufacturers generally the consensus of opinion is that the combine officials and Amalgamated officials will get together before long and adjust the dif ferences. Some of the manufacturers were emphatic in stating that it would be arranged within 48 hours, yet they could give no positive Information of any movement on foot to start nego tiations In rega:."d to the threat of President Shaffer to call out the work men 'in the other union plants of the United States Steel corporation made on Saturday, a significant statement from him today that just now he was not in the sympathetic strike business, is looked upon as meaning that for the present the men will be allowed to con tinue at work. President Shaffer was cheerful when seen this morning, and said he was entirely satisfied with the situation. He had just been in communication with George Powell, president of the American Tin Plate Workers' Protect ive and International Association of America, at Elwood City, who an nounced that his organization was in hearty syjQ pathy with the Amalgam ated strikers, and the statement was untrue that 3,000 dippery men would continue work. It was reported that these men had decided to continue work because of the lack of co-operation of the Amalgamated association when the scale with the American Tin Plate company was adjusted a year ago. President T. J. Shaffer announced that strike benefits will go to the Idle men from the time of the actual in auguration of this strike yesterday. The association has a substantial fund, he says, and the men remaining at work in plants outside of the big steel combine will pay liberally to support the strike. Moreover, many of the idle men are anxious for a vacation. He is preparing a circular of information on the strike. He said of It: "It will be a circular letter to the general membership of our order 'stat ing our position, arguments and ex pectations." When asked about President Mit chell's statement last night. President Shaffer said: "I shall not ask the miners to go on such a strike. God help the poor coal miner! He is the best union man in the world and the poorest paid of them all. He has troubles enough of his own and we have no desire to involve mm But while I shall not invite nor solicit a sympathetic strike, the Amalgamated association stands ready at any time to effect an alliance with the United Mine Workers or any other kindred or e-anization. many of whose members are employed by the United States Steel corporation.' CIGARMAKERS OFFER HELP. Assistant Secretary Tighe of the Amalgamated association returned from Monessen, Pa., today where he went to organize a lodge in tne steel hoop mill of that place. He reported that a lodge was formed with about 75 members out of the 250 men employed in the mill and that he succeeded in closing the plant. Vice President David Reese reported to headquarters that he had organized the men in the William Ciarksons mm, taking in the lodge 100 men out of the 500 employed and as a, result the plant was closed today. This was the only hoop plant in the city that worked be ing non-union since 1899. President Shaffer stated that there was one mill working at Duncansville, Pa., and that the Scottdale and Old Meadow plants were still at work but nothing was heard from Saltsburg. The following telegram was received by President Shaffer at an .early hour this morning: "Toledo, O., July 15. "President Shaffer, Pittsburg. "Cigarmakers' union No. 48 is with you. Advise us if any financial aid is needed. WALTER J. DUHAIME, "President." J. R. Phillips, district manager of the American Tin Plate company was ask ed today whether the company would attempt to start up the closed mills with non-union men. He said he did not know. Mr. Phillips was then asked whether any course of action had been decided upon at a meeting yesterday of the local managers of the three companies involved in the strike. That was a ques tion, he replied, which he could not dis cuss.

Schwab of the United States Steel corporation and the other officials of the company here, declined today to publicly discuss the strike situation. Mr. I Schwab has been in conference with J. Pierpont Morgan and others, but no hint of their attitude or concessions has been given to the public. It has been reported that there will be a general conference on the subject here, and also that there was a movement afoot for the settlement of the strike, but confirmation or denial of these stories could not be obtained at sources of authority. STRIKERS ARE LEAVING. Pittsburg, July 16. United States lodge of the Amalgamated association will meet this afternoon in Allegheny and receive into the lodge 65 members of other lodges, who have been work ing in the Lindsay and McCutcheon plant of the steel hoop company. The intention is to combine all workmen in the plant in the one lodge operating in that district. There were no disturb ances at the Lindsay and McCutcheon plant today. Two furnaces are running but the strikers are not bothering about them. They are keeping away from the mill and no police are required to guard the place. Everything was very quiet about the Monongahela plant of the American Tin Plate company on the South side. A few laborers and flnlshere are working and will be for several days until the unfinished product is made ready for the market. That the meii believe the strike will continue for some time was made evident this morn ing when many of them left the city. A majority of the skilled workmen of this place live in eastern Pennsylvania, western New York, Ohio and We-Jt Vir ginia and groups of the men could be seen at the different depots leaving for their homes. About the mills the best of order prevailed. A rumor was cur rent in the Lawrenceville district today that the workers in Carnegie's upper union mills and the Black Diamond Steel plant would join the strikers this evening but this could not be confirmed. 74,000 MEN OUT.

Painter Sons, Pittsburg; Lindsay McCutcheon, Pittsburg; Monessen Union Iron and Steel company. Youngs town, O., including 7 mills at Young town, Warren and Girard, O.; P. L. Kimberly Co., Sharon and Greenville, Pa.; Aetna-Standard works at Bridge port and Mingo Junction, O. Pomeroy Iron and Steel company, Pomeroy, O. This makes 19.000 skilled workmen out at present. It is estimated that the un skilled labor in the various mills affect ed by the strike will run the total close to the claim of 74,000 idle men, made by the Amalgamated association. 900 OUT AT ELWOOD. Elwood, Ind., July 16. Nine hundred of the two thousand employes of the American Tin Plate company In thsi city are out. Two weeks will exhaust the unfinished matei'al, by which time the tin house employes will lay off. MINERS OUT AT WILKESBARRE. Wilkesbarre, Pa., July 16. The strike of stationary firemen began this morn ing. About 700 men are idle in this region. Many of the mines had to close down, throwing out of work, it Is estimated 15,000 men. The 1,500 employes of the Kingston Coal company went on strike this morn ing In obedience to an order Issued last night by the executive committee of district No. 1, United Mine Workers, The strike was ordered because of a reduction in the wages paid for "yard age" on rrarrow work in the mines. The company has been paying $1.50 per yard but last pay day. it is claimed, the men were informed qf a reduction to $1 per yard. FOB LIFE OB DEATH. Struggle Between Union Labor and Steel Colossus to Be Final. Cleveland, O., July 16. The Leader says: "A discussion of the prevailing strike of the Amalgamated association of ircn and steel workers has brought out the statement that it is due directly .to an effort of the management of the Car negie Steel company to run its plant half union and half non-union for the coming year, after which it was the In tention to make all of the mills non union, including those which have re cently been absorbed. Six weeks ago It became known that the Carnegie company Intended upon July 1 to ab sorb the National Steel company and the American Steel Hoop company. The Carnegie mills have not employed un ion labor since 1892 at the time of the big strike, while the two mills absorbed have always employed union labor. The original intention was to keep the fact Continued on Sixth Page.J GLOOLIHEPOPJ. Government Crop Bulletin Is Discouraging For Kansas. Everything Suffering Greatly in Eastern Division.

He Says Ohio Democrats Had No Call to Vote on ilira. Lincoln, Neb.. July 16. Ia extended comment on the platform adopted by the Ohio Democratic convention, W. X Bryan criticises the convention for it3 failure to reaffirm the Kansas City platform and for what he regards as the weakness of some of the planks it did adopt. Mr. Bryan insists that the convention made a mistake in making himself (Bryan) an issue, and says: "Mr. Bryan is not a candidate for any office, and a. mention of hit might have been construed by some as an endorsement of him for office. The vote should have been upon the naked proposition to endorse the platform of last year, and then no one could have excused his abandonment of Demo cratic principles by pleading his dislike for Mr. Bryan." Referring to tha platform, eh con tinues: "The convention not only failed but refused to endorse or reaffirm the Kan sas City platform, and from the man ner in which the gold basis people re joiced over this failure of the conven tion one would suppose that the main object of the convention was not to write a new platform but to repudiate the one upon which the last national campaign was fought."

Secretary Root arrived here in the private car "Courier," accompanied by General Merriam, of the department of the Missouri; General Gillespie, Col onel F. W. Randolph, chief of artillery; Colonel Carter and Captain Erwln. Speaking of his trip Secretary Root said: "We have had a pleasant trip from Washington. It seems very warm here, but this is about the center of the drouth which is becoming widespread. I am ut for a week's trip, during which I shall visit the important mili tary posts of the west to inspect them and see what can be done for them. The trip is particularly for the purpose of inspecting those posts where there are military schools, like Fort Riley, Fort Leavenworth and the new post at Des Moines. Of course, the enlargement of the army necessitates more facilities for the education of young officers, and the facilities in that line will be looked into." As has been told before. Secretary Root expects to devote considerable at tention now to Forts Riley and Leaven worth. They are to be developed Into great training schools for officers, and much money will be spent on them. They are nearer the center of the United States than any other posts, and are betetr situated as regards grounds, facilities for transportation and supplies. Secretary Root was presented while in St. Louis with one of the souvenir medals given the Sixth Missouri volun teer regiment on its return from the Spanish-American war by the citizens' committee. The secretary very gladly received it and expressed his thanks. As to the return of troops from the Philippines, Secretary Root said: "Those sent out in 1898 have all been ordered back, as they have been away for three years. General Chaffee is now making an investigation as to the con ditions over there, and future action in reference to recalling troops will de pend upon his report." NEW JAIL, FOR SALINA.

Wilson Put Her Papers ia May. or's Aquarium. People are laughing yet at what Mrs. Augusta Wilson did at the mayor's of fice this morning. Mrs. Augusta Wilson is an historic landmark in Kansas. 6 he has been in the public optic more or less for a long term of years, appearing first at about the time of the temperance agitation precedent to the adoption of the pro hibitory amendment. At the present time Mrs. Augusta Wilson is engaged in preparations for ner work as delegate to the Trans Mississippi Commercial congress, to be held at Cripple Creek, Colo. She was named as a delegate by Governor Stan ley, and decided that It would be a good scheme to have a recommendation from Mayor Hughes, also. That was how she happened to go to the mayor's office. Now the mayor was presented with a large square glass box a few days ago. to be used as an aquarium. The box has been standing on his table, half filled with water, a trap for the unwary. Enter Mrs. Wilson. The mayor takes his feet from his desk, removes his cigarette stub from his lips, and says: "Good morning, madam! Come lnt What can I do for you, madam?" Mrs. W lison is near-sighted. She bad in her hand a large bundle of official looking documents, letters from state officials, recommendations of various kinds, and formidable looking note books. She advanced to the center of the room. She scrutinised the table for a place to lay her valuable papers, saw the neat gla aquarium, but did not see the water in it- She carefully dropped the bundle of papers into the water. "Madam!" exclaimed Colonel Hughes, bouncing out of hiT chair. "Is this the mayor?" said Mrs. Wil son blandly. "I want to talk to you a moment, and will leave my papers there till I finish." The mayor gasped and sank back Into his chair. Mrs. Wilson stated her business, got her credentials, and started to leave. Then she discovered her horrible mistake. But with the true spirit of a temperance crussder, she shook the water out of her bundle of papers and marched defiantly out of the office, as if It was a regular thing with her to put her recommendations to soak this bot weather. One thing which intensified the Joke was that not five minutes later the pro prietor of one of the leading hotels of the city came to the mayor's office and deposited his hat in the aquarium. He, too, was near-sighted. S1E JOHN HOPEFUL. Gordon Sprigrg Sees Early End o .Boer war. Cane Town. Julv 16. Sir John Cordon Sprigg.

Mr. Sprigg said he was entirely satisfied as long as Lord Salisbury remained in nower there would be no shadow of any- tubing in the nature of going back. He deprecated the suspension of the respon sible government as it might possibly cause a cnange .in tne position oi ine British politic! parties.

0I2E extra; day. Extension of Oklahoma Kates to Accommodate Crowds. Thousands on Their Way Keffister For Land. to CAN STAY THIRTY DAYS Tremendous Crowds on Both llock Island and Santa Fe. Extra Cars and Conductors Se cured to Help. July 23 has been added by the Rock Island and Santa Fe to the July dates for homeseekers' excursions to Okla homa, nnd Indian Territory. This la the third bomeseeker excursion to be run this month. The second excursion of the month started today, and large crowds of peo pie are taking- advantage of the rates to eto to El Keno to register for the government land lottery. Special cars were out on to accommodate the crowds. It is announced at the passenger de partment o? the roads that if the rush to Oklahoma continues, more home seeker excursions will be arranged enough to accommodate everyone who wants to bo on the liberal terms lam down by the roads. The excursion for July 2.'i has been agreed upon as a nec essity to accommodate the travel al ready In sitrht. The honit-seeker excursion tickets which the Kock Island and Santa Fe ere selling' are specially prepared for the registration scheme which the gov ernment has adopted for the distribu tion of the Indian lands. Instead of having a 21-day limit, as most home eeeker excursions do. these tickets have a SO-day limit This enables the pur chaser to stay in El Keno or Lawton till after the drawing-, gives him time to see the country, and decide on where he -wants to locate, provided he is for tunate enough to win a farm. It is estimated by the Rock Island of ficials here that upwards of 10.0C0 peo ple will be en route to Oklahoma to day. They are from all points along the entire Rock Island system from Chicago to Denver and Pueblo. This Immense business is almost unprece dented in railroad circles in the west. Front Topeka alone nearly five hun dred tickets were sold last night, and the holders left on the midnight train. Four trains running in from two to four sections pass through Topeka handling this Oklahoma business. Nearly as many more go via the Oma ha lines and nearly an equal number r going from the west. Nearly half a hundred passenger trains are con verging to the two points of registra tion for the government land on the Rock Island, El Reno and Lawton. As an illustration of the desperate moves made necessary by the railroad officials in securing passenger equip ment to accommodate the Oklahoma traffic. It is said the officials attempted to borrow large street cars to make ur Into trains, after borrowing as many passenger cars as possible. Another grent difficulty which has caused considerable annoyance is the lack of tickets. Agents at some sta tions have sold out their supply of Oklahoma excursion tickets, and not having time to ordr a new supply compelled to improvise TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, TUESDAY ETEMNq JULY 16, 1801; on the standard price of $28 per ton named by the manufacturers. The amount of rails thus held is, however, entirely inadequate to supply the de mand and the result will necessarily be the postponement of much work that would Otherwise have been done this year. Besides tne vast amount of new rail road building-, many -of the old roads had planned to relay a great deal of steel. Some of these had in their or ders before the- steel Plants wprp e n m pelled to announce they could accept no more orders for delivery this year, but many held off in the belief that the price was too high and that there was bound to be a break. Instead of this came an advance. On the new lines generally grading will be continued much faster than the laying of rails. EEADY TO CUT SATES. Santa To Tells Its Agents to Keep It .rested on-Developments. A new circular issued by the Santa Fe passenger department gives rates on round trip tickets to New York. The rates are arranged on the basis of the Fan-American exposition rate, rate: being made on both standard and dif ferential lines east of Buffalo. The tickets are limited tn ton Han and are continuous passage. In the instructions to agents which accompany this circular, the following order is given: "If you find that our competitors are advertising more lib eral arrangements than the above please advise this office jDromptlv by letter, or by wire if necessary." From this it la evident that the Santa Fe is prepared to make still further T-tvliic- tions in case any of the other lines be gin to cut into the rate. MORGAN GETS 1ST.

Texas Legislature Made $200,000 Worth of Work For Santa Fe. On Monday there went into effect the aw passed by the last Texas legisla- ure requiring railroads to put in in eiiocking or other safety devices at railroad crossings. The Santa Fe has 2S crossings in that state, and as it costs from $3,000 to $6,000 to install the locks at one crossing, the total cost will be between $100,000 and $200,000, but one-half of the expense will be borne by the roads crossed. RELEASED FROM JAIL. Topeka Railroad Man at Last Free From a Mexican Dungeon. Conductor J. M.

Won't Stick to Their Work at San Bernardino Shops. The San Bernardino Transcript savs: They are actually fighting for laborers down at the Santa Fe shops. That is, the heads of the departments are Notwithstanding the fact that every man who applies for work is given a job, there is always a demand. Owing to certain railroad rules, the storekeeper's labor reservoir has a leak which Captain Sloat has only partia'lv succeeded in stopping. The captain lias been going out on foraging expedi tions and rounding up gangs of Mex icans to shift lumber and stores They would work awhile, but would finally drift down to the rip track and go to work, as fast as they found out there was 50 cents more pay on the day. There has never been such a "dearth of laborers In the shops as at the pres ent time. RAILS AT A PREMIUM. Market For Steel Rails Is Greater Than the Supply. The Omaha St. Louis railroad is In the market for 2.300 tons of steel rails which the court has ordered the receiv er to buy and lay in compliance with an order of the Missouri board of rail road and warehouse commissioners re placing old and light steel on 20 miles of track, but the receiver has not as yet been able to secure the rails want ed. The Lnited States Steel corpora tion cannot furnish any rails for which it has now orders on hand until next year Neither can the Cambrian or Maryland plants of the Pennsylvania The manufacturers have orders beyond' their capacity for the next six months The only rails on the market are hell by individuals or concerns that bought them for some purpose that can wait and are willing to part with them pro- ded a good round profit can be re alized by the transaction.

Before taking his departure Mr. Roddy called ine reporter to one side and said: "Who told you I was going to the new coun try to register for a claim?" Owing to an old established rule in vogue in all well regulated printing offices, the re porter's memory failed him then and there. "Well," said Mr. Roddy, "you tell the people for me that I wouldn't stand in line the necessary length of time it takes to register, if I were to have a chance to draw the whole coun try that is to be opened," and he meant New Style Oil Burner Invented. Capt. George W. Prescott. formerly superintendent of machinery in San Lernardino. now a Hirillnn.1 rnncheT- has invented a new oil burning appa ratus which is being given a trial by the Santa Fe. Two of the new at tachments are completed and are being tried on engines Nos. 467 and 707. The engineers who have worked them are quite well pleased and the new plan may be adopted. The advantages claimed for the new heater are that the oil can be heated irr the burner in stead of In the tank, and the fire-box can be cleaned by simply pulling a lever which throws up a wedge in the center. Heretofore the fireman has had to get down on the ground to accomp lish, the work. New Stylo of Car Seats.

Charles M. Sheldon's First Sermon in Chicago; Church is Filled to Overflowing ou Sunday. PLATING RELIGION." Urges Christians to Stop and Get Down to Work. Doubt, He Points Out, Has Never Accomplished Anything. The Chicago papers all printed long accounts of Rev. Charles M. Sheldon's first sermon there on Sunday. The following is from the Chronicle: "Stop playing at Christianity and get down to work." This was the advice given by Rev. Charles M. Sheldon to some 2,000 persons assembled at the South Congregational church yester day morning. The sermon in which thia admonition to Christians was contain ed was the first of a series which the author of "In His Steps," who also tried to edit a newspaper "as Jesus would do it." is to deliver in Chicago. In spite of the warm weather and the built a cathedral, founded a hospital or stood beside a grave and saw heaven shining above. There never was a great man who did not have faith. A perfect mind must have two kinds of knowl edge. One is the reasoning knowledge ana tne other the unreasoning knowl edge that we call faith. "Then there must be an openness of mind and heart to the truth. Beware of thinking that you know it all. There is no creed too good to accept of an amendment. Do not forget that it is not from the wise alone that we can gather information. Kverv man has had some experience that another man has not had. and this experience has added to his stock of infor.-nation. Truth never walks into a man's mind through one entrance. Remember this and let your prayer be every morning, 'Lord, show me the truth today.' "The third characteristic is the ab sence of the spirit of judging. More tragedies have occurred and more lives have been embittered by the pass ing of false judgments. Men have been driven to destruction because their fel lows have condemned them. There are times when it becomes necessary to con demn a man, but those who do so must be cautious. "Obedience to God's law is essential. Obedience and truthfulness are the lessons that should be taught to every child. If a child grows up and is truth ful and yet disobedient a miracle has been performed. God obeys more laws than anyone in the universe, and vet i he is the only absolutely free agent. It is because he is obedient that he is great and powerful. Disobedience brings with it its punishment both on this earth and the hereafter. If this generation shall continue in their ways of disobedience they will become weaklings. FROM HERINQTOU.

Twenty-four cars of mules passed through Herington Saturday bound for South Africa., where they will do serv ice for the British in the war. Omar Thomas started out the first of the week as an express messenger on the Rock Island between Kansas City ana cnickasha. Omar is a Herington boy, and has paid strict attention to business, and will make a first-class messenger.

Every available loot of space was occupied and throngs of people who were unable to obtain a position from which they could hear or see Mr. Sheldon left the church. If the crowds who assembled in the church had expected to hear a sensa tional sermon they were badly disap pointed. Current events came in for no notice from the minister. His ser mon was devoted entirely to religious topics. Reading his notes, he spoke in in ordinary tone for half an hour. There were no oratorical flourishes, few figures of speech and no attempt to im press the congregation by the manner in which the sermon was delivered. During the entire sermon Mr. Sheldon maintained his voice at the same pitch and delivered his sermon in the same monotonous tones. There was no lack of attention on the part of the congre gation, however. It was the material of the sermon that held their attention. TALKS ON "A FULL-GROWN MAN." "A Full-Grown Man" was the text from which Mr. Sheldon preached. He said: "A full-grown man is a part of the Christian plan of life. When we say a full-grown man we mean a man who resembles as nearly as possible the ideal man Christ. Such a man is not narrow, his mind is not dwarfed. He is broad and intelligent, a factor in the social life and a power for good. He is not a critic, but one who tries to do his best and does not stand aside and criti- cise those who are attempting to ac complish their ideal. "Faith is the first characteristic of the man of whom we speak. No man ever grew up in doubt. Doubt never "Daily acknowledgment of our stew ardship is necessary if we wish to grow.

Word reach ed this place today of a regular pitched battle and wholesale killing between Mexicans and negroes who are working on the new Rock Island extension in New Mexico, 100 miles west of here. The trouble originated in the killing of a Mexican- by a negro some weeks since. The authorities undertook to arrest the assailant but his friends interfered and they were obliged to withdraw. Last week, some thirty-five or forty Mexi cans, armed themselves with Winches ters and went after the negro. A bat tle took place in which fifteen negroes were killed outright and several wound ed. The casualties among the Mexicans can not be learned. The trouble oc curred at Spencer's railroad camp near Liberty. N.

The Fairbanks presidential boom is Jiaving a nice comfortable time during the absence of Mr. Beveridge. The Democratic party is being placed tn position by its leaders to receive a large amount of gratuitous advice. Perhaps the trial of Neeley Is being postponed until the future political Flatus of Cuba has been fully de termined. Persons who start runs on banks dur ing such weather as lias prevailed for the past month, should have more con sideration for the poor tellers. It looks as though the Cuban question, were being manipulated both, on the island and In this country, so as to es cape paying a lot of debts. War is starting early In the Demo cratic ranks. By election time in 1904 probably there will be a half dozen Democratic parties instead of two. Now that Gomez and Talma have talked it over, perhaps they will in form an anxious public which one of them is to be the first president of the Cuban republic. There is yet hope for the Boers. It is reported that Funston Is to retire from the Fnlted States army. What more natural, than that he should help out Oom Paul.

A Chicago lady recently.organized an nnti-cigarette league, and offered prizes to the small boys who became members for essays on "Why I Don't Smok Cigarettes."

'I smoked cigarettes for two years, and thon quit because they were hurting l'.ie and the dealer stopped the pic tures," declared a juvenile George Washington. Still another youthful es sayist said: "I chewed tobacco and smoked cigarettes and lost two pounds. Tobacco is a misfortune." LEADING THE WORLD IJT IRON. From the N. Y. World. 3 The spinal column of modern civiliza tion is iron. It is an axiom that the nation that produces and uses most Iron leads the race, so Tar at least as material growth is concerned. It is therefore an event of large meaning that the United States in the year 130 shot ahead of all other coun tries in the production of iron ore. The Immense total of 27,500.000 tons was taken out of our mines last year. For the first time in our history we sur-f-assed the iron-ore production of both el rent Britain and Germany. Within two years the mines of this country have increased their output by nearly one-half. No less than twenty four of our states and two of our terri tories fire now iron-ore producers, ffichigan leads the procession with an cut put of nearly 10,000.0(30 tons, but Minnesota treads very closely on her heels. Alabama is third, with an out put of 2,7SQ.000 tons. A striking feature of this increased iron-ore production is that, contrary to the general rule, Its value has increased at the same time. The total output of 1900 was valued at $68,590,604, an aver age of $2.42 per ton, which was $1 per ton more than the average value of the much smaller output of 1S99. In part this is explained by the fact that the big Steel Trust controls the ma jority of the best mines, though it is due In some measure to the general "boom" In all values and prices. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.l A woman always lias the best or the worst of it. There are some things worse than hot Weather. It Is easy for a rich man to impress a poor neighbor. There are no Saturday now," a merchant said today. Everything is doing a lot of perspir ing these days but the clouds. How we would like to have a sensa tion that would seiiii cold chills down our backs! Irt our opinion, the prettiest music in the world is the sound of rain pat tering on the roof. An Atchison girl, who dreamed over a piece of wedding cake last night, dreamed of Moses. An Atchison young man dreamed last night that he got up and shoveled snow oft the walk. For every love affair that has public sympathy, there are forty-nine that re ceive general ridicule. If we were a girl, we would thank the Lord in weather like this that we had hair we could take off. If you can't afford all the chopped ice you can eat. read the snow storm to night ia "Lorna Doone." POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Osculation ia apt to make a hit with a miss. An ugly temperof ten get a man into a pretty mess. The sksptic who wants mora light should pay his gas bill. The man who never gives offense is as clever as he is scarce. The balance of trade is not always a political platform scale. Excessive economy makes a man an undesirable acquaintance. The clerk who aspirea to a faighor life objects to a life of hire. Milk is not Improved by condensing but it is different with literature. There is nothing equal to a good op era for sharpening the feminine appe tite. The love of the mosquito for a bare arm ia surpassed only by the love of the fly for a bald head. As a rule the more a man wants the less he gets and the rule isn't too stuck up to work rear end forward either. Don't place too much confidence In the smooth individual. It is the rough cogs in the wheels that make the docs reliable. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR (From the New York Press. Lots of people keep up their honey moon long after all the honey is gone out of it. Most poets can change their jingle much easier than they can jingle their change. After the first six months a woman's idea of being made happy is being made comfortable. There is hope for a man if a woman begins by hating him; but he has no chance on earth if she begins by trust ing him. You can always tell a woman that feels she is retired from active service by tlw way she will wear any old bath ing suit. AT CRIPPLE CREEK. Trans-Mississippi Congress Opens To dy Kansas Speakers.

Robbers Work For an Hour With Town Looking On. Fail to Open Strong Box and Flee Without Booty. Columbus, O., July 15. A gang of six or seven robbers wrecked the Ressler Ashbrooke bank at Alexandria, in Licking county, about 1 o'clock this morning. The strong box resisted their efforts and they overlooked a package of $1,500 in the outer vault, which they blew almost to pieces. Tools were sto len from the Toledo Ohio Central railroad with which the front door of the bank was opened, after which four charges of dynamite were exploded to open the vault. The noise aroused Cashier C. B. Buxton, and others, who reside near, and they hastened to the scene. Although the citizens surround ed the building the robbers remained in the bank for an hour making re peated attempts to force tha strong box, meanwhile keeping up an ex change of shots with the villagers. Finally the bandits fled in two rigs which had been previously stolen. Sheriff Anderson and a posse are in pursuit. There was only $800 in the strong box, the package of $1,500 having been received too late last evening to be placed in it. The loss is covered by in surance. CAUGHT 111 TOPEKA. Kansas City Negro Believed to Be Implicated in Assault. The police were notified by telephone Monday night about 10:30 that a negro wanted in Kansas City, was at the transfer station. A few minutes later the same person, who refused to give his name, called up the station again, and said the man was going north be tween Fifth and Sixth avenues. He al so gave a description of the man.. Ser geant Carpenter hurried up to the cor ner of Fifth and Kansas avenue and captured the man, who gave his name as W. C. Warner. He Is a brown skin ned negro about 25 years old, and possessed a Rock Island time check payable to a different name. He will be held over until some of the Kansas City authorities arrive to identify him. The police believed that Ed, better known as "Crook" Wright, was the man who had telephoned the information but Wright denies it. He says that ail he knows about the man is that he was "broke" and he gave him some money and a place to sleep the night before. He came down to the station after the arrest and talked with the prisoner. Warner is supposed to be one of the gang who assaulted Grace Lewis after sandbagging her escort, Vernie New man, in Troost park on the evening of July 11th. There is a $200 reward for each of the negroes connected with the crime. A mob tried to get two of f men arrested in Kansas City last Fri day night. MAKES BOUfiD TRIP. First Chicago Steamer to Eu rope Has Returned. Mackinaw City, Mich., July 16. The Northwestern, the first of the North western company's fleet to leave Chi cago for Europe, passed through the Straits of Mackinaw at 5 a. m. today, and probably will arrive in Chicago to morrow afternoon.

Bishop O'Connor Refuses Extra Ser vices at His Installation. New York, July 16. Bishop-elect John J. O'Connor, of the Newark diocese, has refused to permit any parade or elab orate feature on the occasion of his in stallation at Newark on July 25.

An elaborate reception, however, will be tendered to Archbishop Corrigan. 12,000 MADE IDLE Strike of Firemen For an Eight Hour Bay. Scranton, Pa., July 16. All the fire men of stationary engines at the Delaware Hudson, Erie and Onta rio Western railroad company's mines in the upper part of the Lacka wanna valley, from Peckville to For est City, struck today for an eight hour day without reduction of pay. The result forced a complete shutdown of twenty collieries and the idleness of 12,000 mine workers. PASS THROUGH HELL GATE Route Not Considered Particularly Dangerous to Vessels. New York, July 16. It is riot unlikely that the auxiliary cruiser Buffalo will pass through Hell Gate tomorrow when she leaves for Newport. Captain Hutch ins, commanding the vessel, has given it as his opinion that the passage is not particularly dangerous. Officers at the navy yard say that the order issued after the Massachusetts went through Hell Gate to the effect that no battle ships were to be taken through without permission does not apply to cruisers. The officers seen believe Captain Hutch ins will take the short course through the gate. EXIT WOOD WALKS. Last Ones ia Topeka Eelcj Replaced With Brick.

CUBRAfi im EXPLAlli Populists at Home Want to Know Some Things. John Curran, the secretary of the Populist state central committee, will be the principal attraction at Mound City on July 27, when he will explain to the Linn county Populist committee "where he Is at." Curran's reply to Mort Albaugh's in vitation for the Populists to Join the Republican ranks does not seem to settle the question with the rock-ribbed and ancient middle-of-the-roaders of Linn county. Perhaps Curran's little word "if" the Pops go by the board, and he has to seek shelter in some other fold he will go with the goats and be a Democrat before he will Join the Republicans. If you ask a Popu list "Where does Curran stand?" they will say: "Where? Why, he stands where we all stand." But nevertheless Curran will be on hand at Mound City to tell how it happened. DICK COOLEY LET OUT. Topeka Eall Player Given His Release by Syracuse. Syracuse, N.Y., July 16. Dick Cooley. first baseman for the Syracuse club of the Eastern league, has been given his release by Manager Leonard. A. G. Slater, first baseman for Worcester will succeed Cooley. Dick's determination to be a good fellow at any cost, may be at the bot tom of the movement against htm in Syracuse. Then again, Richard de mands a star's price for playing. A meeting of Eastern league direc tors Is being held at Hartford today. President P. T. Powers, it is believed, called the meeting for the purpose of making some arrangements regarding baseball conditions in Syracuse The team in that city has failed to draw, largely due to accidents sustained by players. Newark, N. J., a city consid ered capable of supporting a minor league team, may be considered for a place in the Eastern league circuit, but it is more likely that Syracuse will be bolstered up by means of collecting a first-class team. PECULIAR ACCIDENT. Miss Mary Carruthers Falls While Getting Out of Bed. Miss Mary Carruthers, who lives at 813 Tyler street, was the victim of a peculiar accident this morning. In get ting out of bed, she fell and broke one of her ribs. She will be confined to her room for some time as a result of the accident.

The probable scarcity and high price cf corn at the same time that there is an unusually abundant crop of -wheat, much of which may sell for a price as low or lower than corn, make the questions as to the value and economy of wteat aa a live stack food of extra ordinary interest. The only institution which has ever taken up and exhaustively discussed the feeding of wheat to farm animals Is the Kansas board of agriculture. Secretary Coburn's report for Septem ber, has about 200 pages devoted to this subject, treating it from every standpoint. Fortunately the board has still a small number of these pamphlets, and they may be obtained so Ions? as the supply lasts, by those who send the necessary postage which is about six etits. It is safe to predict that these re ports will soon become invaluable. Til? conditions of crops, and more especial ly in reference to feed stuffs for ani mals, as it confronts the farmer of Kansas now is much the same as sev en years ago. The report of 11 r. Co burn shows that in nearly 20 per tent of the entire wheat crop of the state of .Kansas was fed to cattle and other stock. The long dry spell of that year left the state in just about the same condition it is now in. The early crops of wheat, rye and oats. etc.. were large but the corn crop was almost an entire failure. The farmers were with out feed enough for the stock except for the use of wheat. Mr. Cuburn spent a considerable time in compiling his report, spending a considerable length of time in the var ious counties so as to better enable him to handle the subject in an able man ner. The pamphlet besides containing the reports from each of the counties or the state includes a number of articles wish illustrations treating- of the man lier of feeding and value of wheat as a fa, tor in stock raising-. The whole work is summarized in the following brief terse paragraphs: In Kansas. undr the conditions as to product and prices of wheat end corn existing in the years l93- li4-"i.. wheat has become a very unusual and very important factor fn the grain feeding of aii classes of farm stoc k. It is superior to corn. pound for pound, p.s a grain to produce healthful, well balanced srowth in your anima:s. Mixed with corn. oats, or bran, it is much superior to either alone, for work horses. Fe,i to cows, it is an exceptional milk producer, and for that purpose corn is Ecfirceiy to be compared with it. For swine of all ages, it is a healthful and agreeable food, giving g-r:--r-.us re turns in both framework and flesh, but fed whole, esrec ially without soaking, is used at a disadvaiitage. round ami mad" into slow, it is invaluable for j su. knng- sows. ;tr.d for piss both before j aim aiier weap.mir.

With corn and wheat approximating the same price per bushel, it is not un profitable nor wicked to feed the wheat yet, if It can be ground, rolled, crushed oi- in some way broken p.t a totpi cost not exceeding 5 to T cents per bushel to feed it whole and dry is unwise It can be ground at a cost of 5 cnts per bushel, and on a major! tv of Kan sas farms for very much less. If grinding is impracticable, soaking from ?4 to hours (the length of time depending somewhat upon the wather and season) is for various re tsons deem ed desirable, but Is injudicious to anv extent that lt being moist facilitates swallowing without the mastication or trie proper mixing with saliva Any ar rangement or system of feeding by whi-h tho grain was delivered in such wa-v that the animal could wt' but iowly. would largely overcome this de fect.

There was a fc-harp curve near the bridge and when the engineers saw the danger the en pines were too close to each other to be stopped. The two engines came to gether in the middle of the bridge, the bridge collapsed and both engines fell Into the river. The two trains caught lire after the engines -went into the river, and burned up the bridge as well as the cars. The two engines are reported to be Imried in the quicksand in the river. Tlie local freight was to have side Tracked at Wymark to let the other freight pass, but the conductor made ii mistake in reading his orders.

The Repub lican today says: The ministers of this city are considering the advisability of organizing a vigilance committee. Tha Ilea is to overthrow thug rule. Thev Fay they will work in conjunction with the police department, but it is possible that the police force may be an entirely superfluous contingent. Although it is scainst the thugs that the ministers will primarily direct their attention, the work which they propose to do at once is only preliminary to the really plgantic scheme they have under con sideration, looking to the uplifting of the entire community. They propose to establish an organization of power nn far-reaching as Tammany's in New Tfork city, but with a view to estab lishing law and order instead of po kUcal supremacy.

Y., July 16. Frank Wen nerholm, the Chautauqua county mur derer was put to death by electricity In the prison here today. The current was turned on one minute and five sec onds and the man was pronounced dead. When he took his seat In the chair "Wennerholm appeared to be on the point of utter collapse. As the strap over the face was put in position the doomed man tossed his head nervously to one side and uttered a low moan. The current was of 1,800 volts and sev en amperes which was reduced after two seconds to 200 volts for half a min ute and then increased to its original strength for two seconds when it was again reduced to 200 volts for half a minute and increased to l.SOO, when it was turned off and the man was dead.

Russia has been ex periencing terrible heat, the tempera ture over a wide territory reaching 100 degrees Fahrenheit in the shade. Fruits and vegetables on a large scale have been destroyed. Berlin, July 16. The weather today was the hottest known in Berlin for several years. A number of persons died of sunstroke. Violent thunderstorms are reported in various sections of the country and there was an enormous cloudburst at Potsdam. Two men and many cattle were killed in the mountains by light ning. Several houses were burned and one man killed by lightning near Nien burg. At Herrenburg and Wurlenburjr the crops have been half ruined by hail and they have been badly damag ed in other sections.

(Continued from First Page.) a special election to approve the report, and then, if the report was approved, the city would have to borrow the money from some source to close the deal by September 7, as there would not be time to hold a bond election before that date. September 7 is the expiration of 20 years from the passage of the franchise ordinance. The third plan could be delayed and hindered considerably by the water company if it was so disposed, but up to this time, it has manifested a desire to assist the city in arriving at terms of sale. Whether this desire is a "bluff" would very soon be apparent. TERMS OF THE 1SS3 LAW. The following are the provisions of the law of 1883, which is probably tha one which covers the waterworks situ ation: "Within six months next before the expiration of the 20 years for which any grant has heretofore been made, or may hereinafter be made, as herein before provided, the mayor and coun cil of such city shall determine by ma jority vote whether in their Judgment it will be for the interest of such city to purchase such waterworks, fran chises and privileges. They shall pro ceed to have the value thereof ascer tained by a board of three competent and skilled hydraulic engineers, not in the interest or employ of such city or waterworks company, or having any interest in said works, the city choos ing one, the company one, and the third by these two. As soon as the valuation and terms are determined by said board. the mayor and council shall cause a special election to be held in said city to determine whether the said city shall purchase from owners thereof such waterworks and machinery, fran chises and privileges belonging'to said owners, at the price and on the terms as have been fixed by said board. If a majority of the voters of said city vot ing at such election shall vote in favor of the proposition, then the city shall purchase such waterworks, franchises and privileges and the mayor and council shall forthwith proceed to con tract with the owners of such water works for such price to be paid by such city for such waterworks, ma chinery, franchises and privileges, and on such terms as were fixed by such board and voted upon by the voters at such election.

Contin ued to Do Business On Other People's Money, Notes and Collateral. MAEES CLEAN BREAST. Samuel A. Gaylord Makes Sen sational Admissions. Were Short $150,000 ia Bonds and 6,000 Shares. The Debts Are Estimated at Over 200,000. St.Loui9, July 16. Sensational admis sions have been made on the stand by Samuel A. Gaylord, senior member of the firm of Gaylord, Blessing Co., which failed recently. Mr. Gaylord, who Is one of the oldest stockbrokers in the city, admitted at the hearing be fore Bankruptcy Referee Coles that the firm had been practically Insolvent for two years and had been doing business on other people's money on funds se cured from local customers. Deals were made in which no stock ever changed hands, being a mere matter of book keeping in which the firm never forgot to charge up commissions, margins and interest, were admitted by Mr.Gaylord. who also told of the employment of relatives' names and the use of an in sane man's name in the accounts. At the time of the failure they were short $150,000 in bonds, face value, and over 6,000 shares of stocks in New York. It was admitted by the witness that the failure was due to their own speculation, by which they had hoped to win out and pay off their indebted ness, estimated to have been something near $200,000. As to the missing collat eral, left with the firm by customers, attached to promissory notes, Mr. Gay lord admitted that all had been hypo thecated with banks as security for loans to the firm. There was no ap parent desire to conceal concerning the involved transactions of the firm on Mr. Gaylord's part and the revelations he made were the more astonishing to the creditors assembled, because of the confidence and trust for many years reposed in Mr. Gaylord. GOLD FROM DAWSOFI. Outside Shipments Amount to 5,000,000. Seattle, Wash., July 16. Late advices from Dawson, under date of June 28, state that the gold shipments to the outside this year have amounted to $5, 000,000 to date. Over $3,000,000 of this sum went down the Yukon and is going out by the way of St. Michael and the balance has gone up the river. The Bank of British North America Is this year shipping down the Yukon and the Canadian Bank of Commerce is shipping in the opposite direction. These are the only banks doing busi ness ui. the camp. News has just been brought from the mouth of the Hootalinqua river by steamer that a placer strike has been made on Lake Creek, a tributary to Lake Teslin, the source of the Hoota linqua. No particulars have been re ceived here. Hams, potatoes, cream and all kinds of fruit are selling in Dawson at ex ceedingly low rates and traders are los ing money. Cherries, peaches, apples and other fresh fruits are plentiful. WTesley Brawdy, aged 22 years, was swept from a raft on the Yukon river a short distance above Dawson last week and drowned. J. W. Lowes, a native of Toronto and a resident of 'British Columbia, was drowned near Big Salmon a few days ago. Orin X. Merryman. a native of Mary ville, Mo., was accidentally drowned at Eagle July 2 by the capsizing of his canoe. ASSAILED BY tm. Texas Pacific Train Attacked by Armed Men. St. Louis, July 16. A special to the Globe-Democrat from Cordova, Mex ico, says: A train on the Texas Pacific rail road was attacked by a large force of armed men at Tierra Blanca, a small station. Seven men were killed. As soon as news of the attack reached Cordova a force of rurales was sent to the scene and they are now in pursuit of mem bers of the mob. The cause of the at tack is not known here. It is said to have been made by men who were formerly employed in the construction of, the road. 400 WALK OUT. Freight Handlers Strike at Port Costa, Cal. Port Costa, Cal., July 16. Four hun dred men who handle freight in the warehouses here have gone out on strike. Work in all the warehouses from Nevada dock to Crockett ,as well as the Crocket sugar refinery, is at a standstill and shipping is completely tied up. The men presented an ulti matum Saturday to their employers. They asked for $3 a day for nine hours, and time and a half for all overtime. The warehouses offered a raise of five cents per hour, which would be 30 cents an hour for ten hours' work, but re fused to recognize the men as a union. This offer not meeting with the ap proval of the men, they walked out. Buds Waddell Released. Chicago, July 16. If George Edward, better known as "Rube," Waddell, has a bank account he will find it a handy thing within the next few weeks some thing, in fact, quite indispensible. "Rube" was to have pitched yesterday's base ball game against the pirates. He didn't, and now the pay days will bring no gold to "Rube." He ha.e received an indetermin ate sentence "suspended indefinitely for bad conduct and nonappearance" is the way the mandate of Loftus reads. GL00OY REPORT.

CROP SUMMARY As Reported by the Weather Bureau at Washington. Washington, July 16. The weather bureau's weekly summary of crop con ditions Is as follows: The states of the middle Rocky Moun tain and Missouri and Mississippi val leys have experienced another, the third consecutive week of intense heat, the maximum temperatures over a large part of these districts ranging above 100 daily during the week, many sta tions reporting from 100 to 107. With an almost entire absence of rain the crops in the region named have been subjected to most unfavorable condi tions. In the states lying immediately to the eastward of the Mississippi river very high temperatures have also pre vailed but the heat has been less in tense and its effects not so serious as in the districts to the westward. On the Atlantic coast very favorable tempera ture conditions have prevailed with abundant rains, excessive and damag- ing in portions of the middle and south at least. On the coast it has been cool and dry with frost in some places. The corn crop as a whole in the great corn states of the central valleys has been derteriorated and has sustain ed serious injury over the western por tion of the corn belt especially in Mis souri, Nebraska, Kansas and Oklahoma. The following stations report rain during- the 24 hours ending 8 a, m., July 16: Springfield, HI., .01; Kansas City, .02; Springfield, Mo., trace; Fort Smith, Ark., .14; Wichita, Kas.. .10; Omaha, Neb., .78; Valentine. Neb., .18; Huron, S. D., .08; St. Paul, .30; Cheyenne, Wyo., .08. 9 The early corn in central and south ern Missouri, portions of eastern Kan sas, Arkansas and in thtj' central and west Gulf states has been irreparably injured. In the upper Ohio valley corn, while needing rain, has improved, and in the Atlantic coast districts the crop has made excellent progress. Winter wheat harvest is about fin ished except in the more northerly por tion of the Atlantic coast districts, where in some sections it has been re tarded by rain. Harvesting has begun in the north Pacific region under very favorable conditions. Over the southern portion of the spring wheat region spring wheat has ripened prematurely, and the general prospect is less promising than pre viously reported. In the northern por tion, however, the outlook continues fa vorable. Harvestiryg is expected to be gin in northern Minnesota by the 18th. In Oregon spring wheat is needing rain. Oats have suffered in common, with other crops from heat and drouth in the states of the central valleys. Har vesting is now progressing in the more northerly sections. Haying has been retarded by rains in the New England and middle Atlantic states but has made no progress in the Ohio and Mississippi valleys. The yield will be very light in the states of the Missouri and Central Mississippi val leys, but a good crop is generally indi cated in the lake region upper Ohio val ley and extreme northwest. Except in the Carolinas and Florida cotton is generally well cultivated, and over the greater part of the central and western districts is standing the drouth well, although growth has been checked, and fruiting at the top is commonly re ported. Cotton has suffered from heavy rains in North Carolina where it is making too much stalk. In Georgia the prospect is much be low the average and many fields have been abandoned. In southwest Texas early cotton is opening and some pick ing has been done. The weather conditions have been highly favorable for tobacco in the Atlantic coast states, but the crop is generally in need of rain in the Ohio valley, and is suffering severely in the western portions of Kentucky. The prospect for apples has been greatly lessened, especially over the central valleys, as a result of heat. SHUf DOWN TIGHT. (Continued from First Page.) of this absorption quiet until after the officers had signed the Amalgamated scale and then let the Carnegie com pany carry out the contracts with the workmen for the first year. At the end of the year it was to be determined whether the mills controlled by the Carnegie company should employ union labor or whether no union men should be engaged. The effort was to be, so it is understood now, to inculcate Car negie non-union principles into the en tire organization. The story of the pro posed absorption, however, leaked out before the time was ripe and it is un derstood that the struggle with labor was precipitated a year earlier than it was expected to occur, on that account. "It is said by men of high standing that since the fight has started it wiil be to a finish, and that the result will that the United States steel corpora tion will be union or that the life of the Amalgamated association shall come to a violent end with the comple tion of the struggle." RENO'S BIG CROWDS. A Flood of Homeseekers Pour ing in to Register. El Reno, July 16. All records were broken here Monday by the registra tion clerks under Governor Richards, when 10,967 people were given papers entitling them to a number in the great drawing which will begin on July 29. This makes a total registration of 1, 015 at El Reno. At Lawton there were 7,800 persons registered in the four days ending Saturday. Today there are more than 10.000 people in El Reno and early incoming crowds will likely double this. Everything is quiet and there is' no suffering, notwithstanding the heat is intense during tha day. The registration will begin this morning at 8 o'clock. The rush was so great last night that the clerks were unable to register all desirous of en tering the booths. Governor Richards will open additional booths in different parts of the city. An order was made late yesterday afternoon barring men from registering at the women's booths. One of the booths will be moved from the Sackett building to a school house in another part of the city, in order to five bet ter facilities for handling the crowds. The women's booth will be moved far ther uptown. It will be more easily reached and quite an improvement as it is now the furthest from the main part of the city. The citizens of El "Reno are making a determined remonstrance because the city authorities have allowed the "sure thing" gambling men to operate on the streets. Gambling devices of every character are bemir operated, and the city is wide open. A number of fist fights occurred today. No one was seriously injured. Th police were called on several times to quell the dis turbances. Hundreds of men slept on sidewalks and lawns last night, but were not compelled to sleep in line. The water pressure and supply here now is as good as any in the territory. The ice plant now produces enough ice for all. There will be plenty of every thing for everybody, no matter how large the crowd may grow. AT FORT SILL, i Fort Sill, I. T.. July 16. Lawton, tha prospective big town of the new coun try, today is but a barren waste. Ordi narily it would be a fertile prairie, but the drouth has killed vegetation and it is now a small portion of the sure enough Great American desert. The big town in this section now ia Needmore, a city of tents and wagons adjoining the military post. The inhab itants, about 1,500 in number, are seek ing homes and are here to register.The officers today registered 3,256, making a total of 11,056 registered here up to date. There are 6.000 people on the ground still to be registered. They are organ ized into 66 companies of 100 to the company. The women have no special booths and have to Join companies with the men. In fact, there Is only one reg istration booth at the post. Hundreds of people continue to pour in daily, but the officers say they will be able to register all of them in time. TRACY IS WAITING. Has Sot Yet Been Officially Not ified of Appointment. B. H. Tracy is expected to assume the duties of United States district at torney on Wednesday morning but up to noon today no announcement of his appointment had been received. Mr. Tracy is not at all worried by the non-arrival of the announcement from Washington, and expects to as sume the duties of the office on the ap pointed day. The rumor has been cir culated that the charges made by R. M. Chilcott, 6f Wamego, have been the cause of the delay in the making of the official appointment. Mr. Tracy is not at all alarmed, however, and ex pects the official notification today or tomorrow. Fought Twenty Rounds. Butte, Mont., July 13. Mose Lofontiz of Butte was given the decision over iJave Barry of Canada in a 20-round go here last night. Lafontiz was the agstressor almost entirely throughout the light and kept playing for Barry's face. TO DA Y'S MARKET 11 EPO IIT. Chicago.July 16. WHEAT Wheat open ed weak today on fairly favorable weather and lower cables. September H &c to ?i'54c down, at 6Vfi(!0c. Selling was in the way of liquidation, but the volume of trade was small. On buying by an influential local trader a rally to 66c came early. I.ocal receipts were C&0 cars 222 of contract grade. The close was strong on additional hot weather reports, September lWSVtO up, at 50' fa 50 c. Minneapolis and Duluth reported 2flo cars against 193 cars last week and 2u3 cars a year ago. CORN A heavy quantity of long corn was dumped into the pit at the opening, September selling from 49c to 4c. fg'alc under yesterday's close. This was due to anxiety to get out before a possible drenching took place. The weather fore cast, however, while noting clouds ana predicting scattered light showers, was not regarded as offering much relief and the market in consequence reacted sharp ly to 4Si'jc. Receipts were BiiS cars. Under local buying September later ad vanced to 6ic, and closed firm, lc higher, at 671'a67c. September oats opened Vs-Vic to Hi5e lower, at ?,0Wff3i)c, local interests selling in sympathy with corn.

Correspondent Christie Grain and Stock Co., Kansas City, Mo. New York, Julv 16. The stock market is likely to continue sensitive to crop news for some time to come. Notwithstanding the natural disposition to sell securities on the announcement of the strike of the steel workers over Sun day, there was a substantial rally in prices yesterday when showers were re ported from the area drouth of the west. The sharp decline from the hishest prices of wheat and corn also contributed to the revival in stocks mainly for the reason that it seemed to reflect a grea,t deal of doubt as to accuracy and sincerity of manv of the crop damage reports which have reached New York in the last week. Developments in the near future are liable to have considerable influence nnon the treneral situation in stocks. Should hot winds sweep the western oountrv or the dry hot weather be con tinued for ten days longer serious results to corn, oats and other crops would be ac cepted as inevitable. On the other hand if the recent beneficial chances developing in western weather result in a liberal rainfall in parched districts it would be natural to expect a pronounced change for the better in speculative temper and operations.

It requires about i'J,lX bushels to supply the fort, soldiers' home and state and federal j prisons with potatoes, and a raise in me price atter the contract nas Been entered into oieana srreat loss to the contractor. Here is an instance: K. C. Schulte contracted this season to furnish the soldiers' home with 3.000 bushels of potatoes at 57 cents per bushel. He is now selling potatoes to other parties at 11 per bushel wholesale. Before he made the contract with the home, he was given an option on the amount he was to furnish, by R. H. Blair Co.. of Lee's Summit, the price to be 40 cents per bushel to Mr, Schulte. The firm will give Mr. Schulte his 3,HJ bushels at the rate agreed upon (4i cents, so he can fill his contract at a profit of 1 1 cents per bushel. Last year the output of the Kaw bot toms, the only locality from which to supply the western country for the months of June, July and August, was about S.lAtQ cars.

THEY GET EW TRIALS Judge lias Doubt of Guilt in This Case. Says They Should Be Impris oned on General Principles "Pearly" Atkinson was granted a new trial in the district court this morning by Judge Hazen on the charge of highway robbery. The granting of this new trial was on the grounds that there was not sufficient evidence to con vict him, which means practically that all further prosecution of Wright and Atkinson on the charge of highway robbery upon the person of Claud Imbler will be stopped. Wright ia now out on bond awaiting a new trial. Atkinson is the first lieutenant of the notorious "Crook" Wright. A year ago last winter they were arrested and charged w ith holding up Claud Imbler, a Santa Fe news agent, who was re turning home at midnight. Imbler was ttacked on East Fourth street near the Santa Fe tracks. He was knocked down and two negroes went through his pockets and robbed him of some small change. Imbler described his assailants to the officers and Wright and Atkinson were arrested. Imbler positively iden tified them. At the first trial Wright and Atkinson were tried together and tne jury disagreed. Another trial was had and both were convicted. Then Imbler was employed as a "spotter" and his testimony was- impeached in the police court. Upon the grounds of the im peachment a new trial was granted and then the attorney for Wright, Joe Keed, demanded separate trials. Atkinson was tried. The jury lieard the evidence of Imbler's impeachment and went to the jury room and in ten minutes re turned a verdict of guilty. Wright was to have been tried at the coming Sep tember term. The new trial was granted practically upon Cue grounds that Judge Hazen does not believe that from the evidence they are guilty. In granting the new trial Judge Hazen said there was doubt in his mind as to the guilt of the parties. The court admitted that they should both be in the penitentiary, perhaps, on general principles but held that they should not be convicted upon the testi mony alone of Claud Imbler whose tes timony was impeached in the police court while he was acting aa a joint spotter for Chief StahL As the case stands a new trial wilt probably not be gone through with as it would mean that if the jury brought in a verdict of guilty the verdict would be set aside by Judge Hazen. The cases will probably be dismissed before the September term of court. Wright, who has been in the shadow of the peniten tiary a half score of times w ith his pal Atkinson, seems to bear a charmed life. He first came into prominence as the proprietor of the notorious "Big 400' club w hich figured in the Collins trial. Wright has been working for some time and now claims that he has been wean ed from his old ways of vice he has re formed before. GRIGGS TAKES A HAND In the Effort to Get the Kogers Will Probated.

About 150 colored people met Sunday after noon on Lawrence avenue on the spot where Fred Alexander was burned last January, and held a prayer meeting. Kneeling in the hot, sweltering sun, these people sent up a supplication to the God above to show by the elements w hether the fate meted out to Fred Al exander was a just one or not. Preston Harris, a colored man of this city Raid: "The principal prayer was made by a woman from St. Joseph. I don't re member her name. As near as I can remember her prayer was as follows: 'Oh Lord show us by a divine mani festation of thy wisdom, whether Fred Alexander was guilty of the murder of Pearl Forbes or not. If he was a guilty man, please. Lord, let it rain in Leav enworth inside of the next 24 hours. 'If an innocent man was burned, d not let it rain within 24 hours. If an innocent man was burned, cover the elements with a cloud tomorrow and let the muttering thunder utter Its words and the zigzag lightning writa in the heavens the vengeance which is going to fall on every person who rais ed his hand against Fred Alexander. I pray you, O Lord, to mete out an awful but just retrih.'ion to those who are responsible for the burning of Fred Al exandef if he was Innocent of the mur der of Pearl Forbes.' "The 24 hours is now up," continued Harris, "and no rain has fallen. Furth er than that, did you notice how tha clouds gathered today and the heavy thunder and lightning?" NO ROOM FOB TROUBLE. Tariff Dispute With Russia Bhould Be Easily Settled. New York, July 16. A dispatch from London to the"' Herald says: M. Michael Mering, of Kieff, is stopping at the Hotel Cecil. He is a son-in-law of M. Dewitte, Russian minister of finance, and also president of the Bank of Comerce at Kieff, besides being head of the largest sugar refinery In that city. As a large majority of Russian sugar manufacturers are at Kieff, and the recent tariff dir.,t between the Unit ed States and Russia touches local in terests there, your correspondent ques tioned him on the subject. "I don't think the-re will be any pro tracted trouble." said M. Mering. "The amount of sugar exported from Russia to America Is so small that the differ ence in duty is not worth quarreling over. "Unless there is something behind this matter, It ought to be settled without any difficulty." "Would Russia take part in any anti-American combination, such as the London papers have been suggest ing?" "Of course not." he answered. "Why should we? America and Russia should be good friends alwavs. We buy American machinery in preference to any other, and our trade relations are of the best. There Is nothing that we should quarrel over. "Of course," he added, "I can not say what the two governments may have in their minds about this matter, but I speak simply of the Russian people, who are most friendly disposed to America and the Americans."

Hill of the Great Northern railway before leaving for St. Paul, discussed the reports of crop damage in the west. He said: "Unquestionably some damage has been done to the corn crop by reason of the drouth, but, like everything else, this damage has been exaggerated. Thu damage, so far as I can see, lies in that portion of the country west of a line drawn from St. Louis to Omaha and much of it can be repaired by good rains. It should be remembered, too, that as an offset there has been a won derful wheat harvest, particularly in Kansas, The matter hardly resolves itself into a railroad one for the reason that the railroads have, and the indi cations are, will have plenty to do even should it develop that the corn crop is short. However, as I have said, there is ample time yet for much of tho damage to be overcome." On the same subject President Lowry of the Minneapolis, St. Paul Sault Ste Marie telegraphs from the west as fol lows: "Up to the present time prospects for crops were never better. I make this statement from a personal inspection of a few days ago in Minnesota and Nortll and South Dakota and from daily reports received from all the points along the line of our road, also from talking with various grain men in Minneapolis, who are thoroughly posted on the subject.." CRAZED WITH GRIEF. Parents of Drowned Boys Make Triple Attempt to Suicide. New York, July 16. The drowning of two boys at King's dock. New Brigh ton, was followed by a triple attempt at suicide by parents of the victims. The boys were' Michael Florintino, 15 years old, and Gabrieie Santora, 16 years old, both of New Brighton. They were swimming when Florintino called for help, and when Santora responded Florintino threw his amis around his would-be rescuer's neck, and both boys sank together, drowning before assistance could reach them. When the parents of Santora were informed of the accident they started for the scene. On the way the father threw himself in front of an approach ing train, but was pulled away In time. The mother flung herself into the water, but was rescued. Almost immediately afterwards Florintino's father ran to the dock and attempted to jump In. but was held by the by standers. -The police took charge of the grief-crazed people. PUBLIC MUST KNOW. England Up in Arms Over Censorship of Transvaal News. New York. July 16. The last has not been heard of military censorship In England, notwithstanding Lord Kitch ener's blunt telegrams, according to the London correspondent of the Tribune. "While the Boer commandoes, the dis patch says, may be so demoralized and scattered that neither Generals Botha nor Dewet can put an end to atrocities such as the massacre of the wounded if their attention be called to them, the public has a right to know what is go ing on, especially when the pro Boers on the continent and in Kngland are charging the British army with con ducting an inhumane campaign. Thla Is the opinion of the English press, which has united in condemning the military arrangements for keeping the country in ignorance of the real nature of the warfare now in progress. Details of Gen. French's combined at tack upon Schepers stronghold are still meagre, but the results were evidently not so complete as had been expected from the employment of a series of col umns working toward a common goal. The main force escaped and General French will need to set another trap. Reports that a large body of British Infantry will be sent home and that the railway between Johannesburg ani Durban will be the only one occupied in strength, are not credited by mili tary men. This would involve the prac tical abandonment of the line between Bloemfontein and Johannesburg, which would be regarded by the Boers as a British retreat and a confession of fail ure. THEY TEACH BASEBALL. A Portion of the Course of French In struction at Paris. New York, July 16. Baseball Is to be part of the course of instruction of French students, according to a dis patch from Paris to the Journal and Advertiser. M. Leygnes, minister of public In struction, has engaged Albert Hopkin3 of Baltimore and Henry Alexander of New York for this purpose. This is considered a high honor for Alexander and Hopkins, as well as a tribute to the national game of -the United States. Hopkins, who belongs to the family of Johns Hopkins.was for several yea.rs crack pitcher of St- John's college, Bal timore. Alexander used to be a lawyer of the United States embassy in Paris.

Promise of Kain Makes Judge Lindsay Lenient. lie Afterward Shows Eifect of His Disappointment. HE STOPPED IN TIME. Attorney Tried to Plead Guilty For Client Too Late. Erents of Day With Topeka's Peace Guardians. Judge Lindsay of the police court was feeling extremely jubilant over the faint prospect of rain Monday at the early session, and was inclined to be lenient with the evil-doers brought be fore him. He therefore discharged sev eral, among whom were Joe Saunders, the "vag" accused of searching the clothes of a bather, and George Street, who was too drunk to know his name, and was therefore booked as John Doe when Officer Hutton brought him stationward. But in the evening, when the clouds began to roll away, the court took on a stern look and dealt out justice of a vinegary flavor wita a lavish hand. Mr. Groon, of German descent, whose whiskers needed a radical pruning, had made complaint for something or other against Mr. Level, colored. Mr. Groon began to inform the court that "all of my vitnesses didnd vas here, because dey vas mofed und I dondt know vere dey iss," when his courtness promptly W. R. Hazen flakes a Tardy Plea, discharged the accused. Neither At torney W. R. Hazen, who was defend ing Level, nor the victim himself heard the court, and both began to talk. They were promptly pulled down by friends before they could plead guilty. Mary Wade, who was gleaned from the side streets and byways by Officer Hutton, Saturday night, was ably de fended by Judge Reed, who talked long and loud in her behalf. Mary was put on the stand and told the court just how it happened. She had been In South Topeka visiting her sister, and was returning to her cosy little home back of Hank Lindsay's barn, by way of Quincy street. Then she happened to think about a citizen who wanted a piano, and visited his home for the purpose of selling him one. At this juncture Mr. Hutton informed her that as he had 'run her in" many times for sufficient reason, he would just take her once for luck. As Hutton's repu tation is much better than Mary's, the court preferred to take his word for the affair, hence the $10 fine assessed. Mr. Reed indignantly appealed "the case. This is the second case of the kind Attorney Reed has appealed. Then came the case of the Jovial "Peg" McMichael, Attorney Gregg at the bat. He went in to win: he saw plainly that Mr. McMichael was a per secuted man. He also spent two hours trying to make the court see the case from the same standpoint. He bitterly denounced "spotter" evidence as un constitutional. Attorney Urmy then took up the disturbance where Mr. Gregg dropped it, and fully explained the other side of the case. Meanwhile Mr. McMichael slumbered peacefully in a back seat. When Judge Lindsay thought the attorneys had sufficiently declared themselves, he began reciting two or three numbers of "United States" to justify his course and prove that "spotter" evidence was legal. He likened the eagle-eyed Topeka detec tives to the representatives of Scotland Yard and the great Pinkerton. He also related seven or eight interesting cases which had come under his personal ob servation in the state of Indiana. Just about supper time he stopped suddenly and fined Mr. McMichael $300 and 90 days. Mr. Gregg filed the appeal bond, and then McMichael woke up and went home. McMichael's fine was not made so unusually heavy because he has but one leg. Several times during the course of the trial, a new victim was brought in for the inspection of the court. Mrs. of local fame. Judge Lindsay acknowl edged the Introduction and intimated Brown was- Introduced as a barmaid that he had met Mrs. Brown on some former occasion. She gave bond to ap pear later and returned from whence she was taken, 1009 Kansas avenue. In a short time another "druggist" appeared, accompanied by Chief Stahl and Sergeant Carpenter. This was Mr. Henry Hatche who was hatching var ious kinds of trouble in the second story of a steam laundry on Seventh street, back of the National hotel. He was engaged in jerking the soothing beverage from a keg and mixing gin slings for the people who infested the place. Chief Stahl engaged him in conversation and learned that the keg was not for sale but a family affair, and the women present were members of the family. The celebrated Pigg Bros., fancy mix ers and picnic pump performers, were brought down to give an exhibition at the police station. They also gave a bond to call again. Late In the evening Officer Faes, of the North side merchant police, was startled by a rapid succession of shots. Drawing his trusty gas pipe, he stole cautiously in the direction of the shoot ing and discovered two verdant youths shooting craps on the side walk. Their friends came down and put up J10 each for their appearance. Ross May was charged with assault and battery on the person of one Cham bers. Chambers who is but a boy.must have been doing business in the same space of time as Mr. May wears a bad ly dilapidated face. Chas. Brown seems to have a "hank ering" for a bicycle. He gathered in a stray one which was standing in front of the Y. M. C. A. building about noon Monday. It belonged to a boy named Ives who wemdered what had occurred when he got ready tcride away. Ives at once sent a description of the wheel to police headquarters and about the same time Brown pawned it for $1.50 to Dan Capland at 324 Kansas avenue. Officer Lucas soon found Mr. Brown and arrested him with his companion who had identified him at the pawn shop. Capland brought his daughter up to identify Brown, which she did. Brown was released last night on a $10 bond. The family and friends of Clyde Hempstead, the young forger, held a long consultation with the business men whom he had fleeced in Chief Stahl's office Monday afternoon. They are hopeful of having the complaint with drawn upon payment by his family of all the losses which amount to about $250. No decision was reached, as not all of the losers were present, and some of them don't seem very anxious to for give. Hempstead is married and his wife will be left husbandless for a while If the losing parties fail to arbitrate. STANLEY RESPONDS. Governor Speaks on Behalf of Delegates to Cripple Creek.

POiJTO KICO'S EXPENSE Amounts to $1,976,802.21 For Fiscal Year Beginning July 1. Correspondence of Associated Press. San Juan, P. R., July S. In Governor Allen's message to the Porto Rican assembly, July 4, when that body pass ed a resolution asking President Mc Kinley to declare free trade between Porto Rico and the United States as the revenues derived from internal sources, exclusive of customs, had proved sufficient to meet the lsland'3 financial needs, it was shown that the expenses of the government as author ized by the legislature for the fiscal year beginning July 1, 1901, amounted to tl,976,S02.21, of which amount The most considerable allotments were as follows: Insular police $204,550; board of pris on control $110,932.21; board of public works $356,942; board of charities $101, 495. Judiciary of Porto Rico $160,630; a careful study of the financial situation warrants the belief that there will be raised from the three sources, namely, property tax, excise tax and customs duties on imports from countries oth er than the United States, the sum of over two million dollars. This would provide an excess of estimate receipts over expenditures. The governor pointed out that of that of the "two million dollar refund ing act" there still remains probably not less than $600,000 to the credit of Porto Rico.which. could be used in case of emergency, and which makes the condition of the insular territory still more secure.

FLEECING WORKMEN. County Attorney to Investigate Em ployment Agencies. Deputy County Attorney Jamison is looking into the mejthods of employ ment bureaus, and some proceedings in court may be brought against some so-called employment agents. Several persons have reported to the county attorney's office that they have been fleeced out of small sums of money. The persons victimized report that they were told by an employment agent that there was a good position awaiting them in Kansas City or St. Joseph, and that the agent would in form them and make all arrangemnets for them to get the place for $2. The men paid their money and were di rected to some person in the cities named. Wrhen they get to the city the man tells them there must be some mistake, that he has no such place.

It Has at Last Been Determined Upon by Canada. Ottawa, Ont.r July 16 The depart ment of trade and commerce has de cided to establish a fast Atlantic steamship service. This decision has just been reached although the propo sition has been discussed for the past five years. The government appears to have been Influenced in coming to its decision by several considerations. First, there is a belief that while the Canadian route, affording as it doe3, the shortest sea voyage between this continent and Eurore, is bound to be come the popular ont in time, diversion of the best paying passenger traffic from the New York route will be grad ual. There is also the requisite of freight accommodation for the trans portation of perishable products, but the dominant influence is doubtless the hope that in a few years the jealousy of the rival Canadian ports will have disappeared and public opinion will have settled upon the port which per is naturally a subject of wonder and worriment to the young; mother.

Bartenders Appeal to Johnson. Ivbor Commissioner W. L. A. John son bus been called upon to uei i.ie whether the bartenders' union shail have any standing in the labor circles of Kansas. The bartenders succeeded in breaking into the Industrial council on the grounds that they have a trail and are laboring men the same as the artisans of any other trade. The other trades did not relish the idea of tho white-aproned artists having a say in the labor discussions of the state, and so they claim that the bartenders' union has no standing in Kansas, as it is an unlawful occupation, Johnson Will decide.
