TWO CENTS. ?0 VV V DEIVEY JSJJnLliO Secretary Long Receives a Let ter From Schley Asking Him to Appoint a Court of Inquiry. CONFERENCE IS HELD. The Secretary and the Admiral or the Nary Theu Iletire For a Secret Con sultation. Schley Is Informed That Court Will Be Ordered. Washington, July 24. Secretary Long has received a letter from Admiral Schley asking for a court of Inquiry. Nothing beyond this announcement was made public. The secretary is now In conference with Judge Advocate General Lemley, Admiral Crowinshield and Captain Cowles. assistant chief of the bureau of navigation, presumably concerning this matter. Admiral Dewey arrived at the navy department shortly after 10:30 o'clock this morning, having been summoned from his country home near this city by Secretary Long. The conference 1 which was in progress between the sec retary and Admiral Crowninshield. Captain Cowles and Judge Advocate General Lemley was immediately dis solved and Secretary Long 13 now closeted with Admiral Dewey. In his letter to the secretary. Admiral Schley does not specify any of the criticisms to which he takes exceptions but asks In view of the statements and innuendoes and abusive language con tained in Mac-lay's history, which he says he does not consider worthy of use In any college, that a court of in quiry of the "entire matter" be held. He also asks that the court shall sit in "Washington where his papers are stored. Secretary Long has replied to the letter saying that under the cir cumstances he heartily approves of Admiral Schley's course and that the department will act favorably upon Admiral Schley's request. It Is stated that Admiral Dewey undoubtedly will be the head of the court of Inquiry. Ttw other members of the court have not yet been decided upon. It Is not the Intention of Secretary Long to have the court convened at once, but to wait until the weather becomes cooler. After his conference with Admiral Dewey, who had responded Immediate ly to the secretary's request for an in terview. Secretary Long said that he had not time to decide upon the com position of the court but ir. response to a question to whether Admiral Dewey would serve upon such a court, if re quested to do so, the secretary said: "Admiral Dewey will do his duty." Although no positive declaration has been given on this point It Is assumed about the navy department that Ad miral Dewey will be president of the court which will inquire into the whole controversy concerning Admiral Schley's action during the Spanish war. There was an Impression that the two other members of the court will be re tired naval officers or at least officers who had no connection with the San tiago campaign. The selection of re tired officers would have a double ad vantage. Not only would they be free from any prejudice growing out of their ac tive connection with the department, but they would have no fenr of future consequences arising from their course while members of the board. The court of Inquiry probably will not pro ceed with its work until fall. The order for the court of inquiry will not be Issued until tomorrow. SCHLEY'S LETTER. Admiral Schley's letter is as follows: "Great Neck. L I.. N. Y., July 1901. "Sir: "Within the past few days a series of press comments have been sent to me from various parts of the country of a book entitled 'The History of the Navy,' written by one Edgar Stanton Maclay. From these reviews it appears that this edition is a third vol ume of the said history extended to in clude the late war with Spain, which the two first volumes did not contain and were In use as text books at the naval academy. "2. From extracts quoted in some re fiews in which the page and paragraph are given, there 1b such perversion of facts, misconstruction of intention such Intemperate abuses, defamation of mv self which subjects Mr. Maclay to ac tion in civil law. While I admit the right of fair criticism of every publio officer I must protest against the low rungs and abusive language of this violent, partisan opponent, who has in fused Into the pages of his book so much of the malice of unfairness as to make it unworthy the name of history er of use in any reputable institution 3. I have refrained heretofore from all comment upon the innuendoes of ene mies muttered or murmured in secret tTI Vth Baff-ty to them selves. I think the time has now come to take such iction as may bring this entire matter under discussion under the clearer and calmer review of my brothers in arms, and to this end I ask such action at the hands of the de partment as it may deem best to ac complish this purpose. 4 "4;u,Kut 1 would "Press the request In this connection that whatever the action may be that it occur in Wash ington, where most of my papers and Sat are stored. "Very respectfullv. "W- S- SCHLEY. Rear Admiral. L s N "To the Secretary of the Navy. Wash lngton. D. C. SECRETARY LONG'S REPLY. Secretary Long replied to Admiral Schley as follows: KjrilPartment' Washir,Ston, July .,ftr:1 am ln recelPt of yours of the Z-d Instant with reference to the critic isms upon you In connection with the bi j'niish-American war and heartily apprt ve of your action, under the eir-cumstan-es. In asking at the hands of dep-vrtment "such action as may bring this entire matter under discus sion under the clearer and calmer re view of my brothers In arms." The department will at once proceed with your request. Very respectfully, JOHN D. LONG. Rear Admiral Schley, U. S. N. EXCITED MUCH ATTENTION. Washington, July 24. The informa tion that Admiral Schley's letter asking for a court of Inquiry had been received by Secretary Long soon spread through the navy department and not since the recent war days has one theme excited such general attention. Congress in l.!o established the prin ciple that no court martial could be held two years after the occurrence un der investigation. This is known as the naval statute of limitation and while it bars a court martial relating to the Santiago campaign, It does not bar the court of inquiry. In this case the court of inquiry would be effective only in establishing records, and would not be preliminary to a court martial. An important feature in the order directing the court Is that specifying whether it shall state only the facts or shall also give an opinion based on the facts. Unless the order expressly re quires the court to give their opinion, they are confined to stating the facts found. It is considered quite probable, however, that In a case of this impor tance the order would direct the court to record its opinion as well as its con clusion of facts. Whether the investigation shall be held in open court or not is decided by the court itself, unless specified in the convening order. This leaves it option al with the president or Secretary Long to direct that the proceedings shall be open or closed, but in case no specific direction is given on this point, the court will decide it. When the court of Inquiry reaches its decision all the papers are forward ed to the judge advocate general of the navy, and the final approval or dis approval rests with the secretary of the navy or the president according to who has ordered the court. MACLAY HAS SAID ENOUGH. New York, July 24. Edgar S. Mac lay, who criticised Kear Admiral Schley ln a history of the navy, said today: "It is the proper course for Rear Ad miral Schley to demand a court of in quiry. It Is his only means of vindi cation. After this court has determ ined upon his case, then he can bring suit. It is needless for me to comment further upon Rear Admiral Schley's record." SAMPSON TALKS OF MALICE. Boston.July 24. Rear Admiral Samp son said today: "I am glad that Rear Admiral Schley has asked Secretary Long for an in vestigation. I hope If there is an in vestigation it will be a thorough one and that not a detail of anything that has been in dispute will be avoided by the investigating board. "This whole business Is inspired by malice but now perhaps It may be all investigated and if it is the people will know all the facts." WHAT FIGHTING BOB SATS. Captain Evans' Statements Causing Interest and Comment. "Washington, July 24. Great Interest is expressed by naval officers here in the surprising statement made by Cap tain R. D. Evans. "Fighting Bob," formerly captain of the Iowa, that Admiral Schley and Captain Cook of the Brooklyn did not have the code of signals furnished all the other captains of the fleet. It was by this code that friendly Cubans were to warn the Americans of the whereabouts of the Spanish fleet. The failure to furnish the Brooklyn with the code, It is claimed by his friends, clearly acquits Admiral Schley of the charge of inefficiency and laxity in remaining so long at Cienfuegos when Cervera and the Spanish fleet were at Santiago. According to Captain Evans, Cap tain McCalla informed Admiral Samp son of the code, which was by him communicated to all of the several commanders, excepting those of the Brooklyn. The Cubans followed in structions, placing three horses in a row along the shore in the day time and three white lights at night. Schley gave them no heed, for the reason that he knew nothing of their meaning. As soon as Schley was advised that the Spanish fleet was not at Cienfuegos he left within a few hours for Santiago. This statement of Evans is the more astonishing following as it does the recent statement of Secretary Long to the effect that Schley had not, in his opinion, given the order for the famous loop of the Brooklyn. ln the meantime the friends of Samp son condemn Schley for not reporting all the facts to the department at the time. It is likely that if the interview with Evans is correct a congressional investigation will be had. Secretary Long refuses to discuss the latest phase of the controversy, except to say: "If It is true that the sig nals were withheld from Schley, why didn't he make complaint to the navy department at the time?" It is argued in naval circles that Ad miral Evans' statement makes it nec essary for Admiral Sampson to ask for a court of inquiry. As Sampson was commander-in-chief of the fleet, it was his duty to see that every captain un der his command was made acquainted with the code. The failure to have the code made known to the Brooklyn must rest on the commander-in-chief. It seems probable, therefore, that in due time Admiral Sampson will write the secretary of the navy, calling at tention to the Evans statement and de manding that in the event that Evans does not repudiate It, a court be con vened to locate the responsibility for the failure to acquaint the Brooklyn with the signals. CAPT. COOK ON SIGNALS. He Corroborates Statement of "fight ing Bob" Evans. New York, July 24. Capt. Cook, is a guest at the Albemarle hotel today. Speaking today regarding Admiral Ev ans' statement that Schley's flagship had not been furnished by Admiral Sampson with the code of signals ar ranged to be used between the Cuban insurgents and United States vessels of war in locating Cervera's ships, al though all the other ships of the squad ran had been, Capt. Cook said: "The arrangement of signals between Cuban camps, which had been arranged pre vious to the arrival of the flying squad ron, had not been given to the Brook lyn. Admiral Sampson and Admiral Schley are both brave and patriotic men. and I deplore any controversy be tween them." DEADLYJ1EAT. Twenty-two Deaths Reported in One Day And Fitty-flre Prostrations in St. Louis. UNEQUALED RECORD. Nothing Like Present Slortalily Erer Before Known. Thermic Ferer, Sunstrokes and Fatal Prostrations. St. Louis, Mo., July 24. Twenty-two deaths due directly to the heat were re ported in St. Louis yesterday. In sev eral of these cases death occurred late Monday and was not made public through the ordinary channels until yesterday. Thermic fever, sunstroke, heat prostration and insolation are named as the serious forms of the fatal strokes. The number of prostrations reported up to 2 o'clock this morning were 55. These records for prostrations and deaths were never equaled in one day in the history of St. Louis. Today promises to be warmer than yesterday when the maximum record was 10t degrees. At 10 a. m., the weather bureau record was 98 in the shade, compared with 92 at the same time yesterday. At 2:30 p. m. 10S and a fraction was the official record and the temperature was still rising. The transit company has offered to let poor children under 10 years old ride free to the parks dur ing the period of excessive heat. ILLINOIS DROUTH BROKEN. Rockford, 111., July 24. Rain fell to day in half a dozen counties of the Rock river region, breaking the drouth that has prevailed for six week3. NO RELIEF IN SIGHT. "Washington, July 24. The officials of the weather bureau held out no hope for immediate relief from the drought and intense heat prevailing throughout the middle west. According to the weather bureau reports there were light showers in northwestern North Dakota last night, but with this excep tion the skies over the stricken region were clear. TEMPERATURES.

Kansas City, July 24. A scorching heat wave is prevalent over the south west today with conditions that make It possible that the unprecedented rec ords of high temperature of the past few weeks will be eclipsed. In Kansas City at 11 o'clock this morning the weather bureau reported 101.5 degrees, the highest ever recorded here that early in the day. Monday a maximum of 106 was re corded the hottest in this city in over SO years and Kansas points reported from 106 to 110. Even these figures may be exceeded today. The tempera ture here last night averaged 90, and the atmosphere was extremely hot. Sleep was almost out of the question and suffering was great. Today locally there is hardly a breath of air stirring and there is no rain in sight. The only rain for the past twenty-four hours In Missouri or Kansas is reported from Hays, Kan., near the center of the state, where a light shower fell. The temperature in Kansas City at noon was 104. Many prostrations were report ed up to that hour in both Kansas City, Mo., and Kansas City, Kan. At 1 o'clock the government ther mometer registered 105, within one de gree of the record of 106, which it is be lieved will be passed by at least two degrees. Twenty-five heat prostrations have been reported in the two Kansas Citys up to this time, four of which proved fatal. NEW YORK. New York. July 24. The thermometer at the weather bureau in tuis city reg istered 87 degrees at 2 o'clock this af ternoon. The humidity is 56 per cent. Two deaths from the heat were re ported today. A SHOWER AT EL RENO. El Reno, O. T., July 24. A good shower fell shortly after noon today, greatly relieving the thousands of bomeseekers here. CAUSE OF THE HEAT. Earth, the Satellite of a Variable Star, Says Scientist Serviss. New York, July 24. The Journal and Advertiser prints an article upon the hot weather by Garret P. Ser'iss, the scientific writer The article, dated Ithaca, N. Y., says: The burning heat now afflicting the whole of the United States and felt Qlan nn the other side of the Atlantic and generally throughout the northern1. hemisphere is convincing proof of the fact that the earth Is the satellite of a variable Star. Only on the assumption that the source of terrible heat is di rectly in the sun and due to an extra ordinary increase in its effective radia tion can the widespread and long con tinued nature of the present meteoro logical disaster be satisfactorily ex plained. All astronomers know that the face of the sun is blanketed with absorbing vapors while its Interior is much hotter than the glowing shell that we see. Strip off the vaporous blanket entirely and the surface of the earth would probably burst into smoke and flame in the instantaneous gush of unbearable heat that would be poured upon it. Whenever, as occurs periodically, though not always to the same extent, the solar vapors are thinned, the heat from within leaps out through the weakened shell and strikes the earth and the other nearby planets as wi:h a brenth of fire from the suddenly nnenerl door of ii. bin xin er fnrnwee I That is what has happened this sum- WHOLE TOWN WIDER ARMS. Osceola, Ark., Is the Center of an Insurrection Because tlve Gorernor Revoked Official Commissions. SHERIFF AND CLERK Who Were Ousted Take Posses sion of Court House. Barricade the Building and Re fuse to Tacate. Memphis, Tenn., July 24. A special from Little Rock, Ark., says: Osceola, the county seat of Mississippi county, is under an armed insurrection on account of Governor Davis having revoked the commissions of Sheriff Sam Bowen and Circuit Clerk S. Driver and appointed J. A. Lovewell and J. W. Rhodes respectively as their successors. Commissions were forwarded by At torney C. T. Coleman of Little Rock, but Bowen and Driver took possession of the court house, supported by a crowd of determined followers prin cipally from Luxora, and refuse to va cate. The court house is barricaded. Practically the entire town is under arms. Rhodes and Lovewell have a following of probably 5,000 men. Serious trouble has been avoided since last Saturday only by the active efforts on the part those who would preserve the peace. An appeal is to be made to Gov ernor Davis to put the county under martial law. There is much excitement and many people are leaving the neighborhood. The lynching of an alleged negro mur derer last Friday ten miles from Osce ola after he had been taken from one of Sheriff Bowen's deputies, has added to the excitement. NEW DEPflRTiEflT That of "Kansas" About to Be Established To Include Forts Riley, Learen worth and Other Posts. .Kansas City, Mo., July 24. A new. de partment in the army, to be designated "the department of Kansas," and to in clude the commands at Fort Leaven worth and Riley, Kan.; Jefferson Bar racks, Mo.; Forts Reno and Sill, Okla., and Forts Logan and Root, Ark., with headquarters at Kansas City, may be created ln the near future, according to a man largely identified with mil itary affairs, who is quoted by the Times. "Kansas City is certain," says this authority, "to be selected as a central point for the establishment of a mili tary headquarters under a probable new alignment of the departments, but will not succeed in having the head quarters of the department of Missouri removed from Omaha." Local color is given to the story by the recent visit to Forts Leavenworth and Riley of Secretary of War Root and party. Kansas City has for some time agitated the question of removing the headquarters of Missouri to Kansas City. HUNGRY FOB ICE. Chicago Is Drawn on Heavily by Outside Towns. Chicago, 111., July 24. Chicago Is be ing deluged with orders for ice from the drouth stricken regions of the west and southwest. The dealers in those sec tions telegraph their orders without asking the price, apparently being con cerned only with the time in which their demands can be satisfied. It is estimated that from thirty to forty cars of ice are being shipped out of Chicago daily, which is a larger amount than ever before in the history of the trade. Thus far the prices have not been advanced and the manufac turers decline to discuss the possibili ties of the future. "I never saw such a demand for Ice." said President J. S. Field of the Knick erbocker Ice company. "The unexpect ed demand comes from the southern cities which we supposed to be fully sup plied by the artificial ice companies. They have found that the intense heat prevents them from turning out their full capacity." Weather Indications. Chicago, July 24. Forecast for Kan sas: Partly cloudy tonight and Thurs day; slight change in temperature; southerly winds. mer, and the Immediate agency that has flung open the furnace doors and sent forth the destroying blast is the mysterious power whose visible mani festations is the presence of black sun spots. But it is a mistake to suppose that the sun spots themselves exercise any direet Influence upon the weather, or that there must be spots on the sun whenever there Is extraordinary heat on the earth. The spots are simply indicators of the sun's condition, resembling In that respect the eruptions on the face of a smallpox patient. They tell the story of the sun's internal convulsions and indicate some of the places on its sur face where the pent-up forces are bursting out. For the next four years. these gigantic outbursts will increase in fury and a corresponding series of terres trial seasons marked by great excesses of temperature, sudden contrasts and extraordinary cyclonic disturbances will follow." PARRIED SEVE Woman Supposed to Be Kate Bender Has a Record. She Has Been Married at Least Seven Times. CAREER IN COLORADO. Mrs. Ayers Talks of the Charge Against Her. Dr. Agnes McKee Wallace Says Benders Were Killed. Fort Collins, Colo., July 24 Mrs. Frank Ayers, who, according to the statement of her husband, Frank Ayers, Is the notorious Kate Bender, is living at Fort Collins with her mother and stepfather, Mr. and Mrs. Reed. Detectives have been watching them for several weeks, but no steps have been taken here looking toward their arrest. The woman was married to Ayers about three years ago, and they lived at Manhattan, a mining camp, 45 miles west of here. Mrs. Ayers used to help Ayers chop wood and haul lumber to this city. A short time after their marriage a family of tramp emigrants came through this section. They stopped at Manhattan. Their names were Maddox, and they said they came from Kansas. Mrs. Maddox one day saw Mrs. Ayers, and exclaimed: That is Kate Bender." Mrs. Maddox claimed that she had known the Benders when they lived in Kansas, and the identity was positive. Frank Ayers, it is said, became very much afraid of his wife, and it is said that when she accompanied him out upon the ranches he always took along his Winchester rifle. Mrs. Ayers finally came to Fort Collins and stopped with her parents. Two years ago Frank Ayers, while In Fort Collins one evening, was supposed to have fallen from a railroad train. He was badly injured about the head. It is now claimed that Ayers was about to leave for the east, and that he was followed by his wife, who struck him down. He was taken to the Reed residence and nursed by Mrs. Ayers until his recovery. One year ago Frank Ayers came to Fort Collins and, disguised in a sunbonnet and calico wrapper, bought a ticket for Denver, and in Denver another ticket for Kansas City. He was arrested in Kansas City, but nothing of a criminal nature was found against him and he was discharged. Nothing more was heard of him in this part of the country until the re cent dispatch from Cherryvale, Kas. Since the publication of that dispatch Mrs. Ayers and the Reeds have been considerably worried. Mrs. Ayers has strenuously denied Frank Ayers' statement, and says that if she Is arrested she will send'for one of her former husbands, a Mormon, named Grant, who lives ln Salt Lake City. She states that she came across the plains with her parents when she was but 4 years old, and she is over 50 years old now. She admits that they went to the Black Hills and afterward to Salt Lake, which points coincide with those made by Ayers in his state ment in Cherryvale. Mrs. Ayers and the Reeds have been In this part of the country for ten or fifteen years. Mrs. Ayers, it is said, has been mar ried seven times and her divorced hus bands are all living. Twelve years ago she was married to a sawmill hand named Lavin ln this city. Lavin soon left her. She was married afterward to Charles Lamont, who was later con victed of criminal assault, then to Frank Ayers. For a number of years she went by the name of May Baker. It is said that Mrs. Ayers' father, or as Ayers says, the old man. Bender, Is living in Salt Lake. It is said Mrs. Ayers re ceived a letter from the old man dated at Salt Lake City about the time of her marriage with Lavin. Mrs. Ayers is fairly well educated, and is said to be an artist of some ability. REQUISITION HASN'T ARRIVED. Denver, Colo., July 24. The persons alleged to be members of the Bender family, for whom, according to a dis patch from Topeka, Governor Stanley of Kansas has issued requisition papers on Governor Orman of Colorado, are Mrs. Frank Ayers and her mother, known as Mrs. Reed, in Fort Collins, where they reside, and Will Baker, of Longmont. Mrs. Ayers was formerly the wife of Charles Lamont, who is serving a 14-year term in prison for criminal assault. After she secured a divorce from Lamont she married Frank Ayers, and they lived on adjoin ing ranches near Manhattan, a mining camp, 40 miles from Fort Collins. Two years ago a family from Kansas named Maddox, going through that portion of Colorado in prairie schooners camped at Ayers' place. Mrs. Maddox is said to have exclaimed on coming face to face with Mrs. Ayers: "Why, you're Kate Bender." The exclamation was made ln the presence of Ayres, who later went to Kansas, disguising himself as a wo man so that his wife could not trace him and at Cherryvale told the officers of his suspicions regarding his wife's family. He declares that Mrs. Reed is in reality Mrs. Bender and that she has separated from her husband, who is living in Utah, and that Will Baker is young Bender. Mrs. Ayres denies that she Is Kate Bender and declares that she will prove an alibi. She is about 50 years of age. It is said that Edward L. Burton, a lawyer of Oswego, Kan., together with an old resident of Galena, who knew the Benders, are at present in Ft. Col lins for the purpose of making a posi tive identification of the persons sus pected. Governor Orman Is out of the city but his private secretary says that the requisition papers mentioned In the To peka dispatch have not yet been re ceived. ARE THEY DEAD Dr. Agnes McKee Wallace Throws Lipfct on Disappearance. Are the Benders burled near Par sons? This question has been revived by the announcement yesterday of the arrest of the notorious family of kill ers in Colorado. Here is a story which is told by Dr. Agnes McKee Wallace, of this city, which is interesting at this time: "I had an uncle named David Mc Kee, who lived in Missouri till five years ago. when he died. Thirty years ago David McKee was a member of an organization called the Horsethlef Vig ilantes. This organization was made up of men living in eastern Kansas and western Missouri. It was a secret organization, nominally for the purpose of catching horsethieves, but really a ftort of home protection league, for the establishment of law by force. "David McKee was one of the special agents of the society, which meant that he was one of its detectives. Shortly after the Bender murders were discov ered, and great efforts were being made to apprehend the murderers, David Mc Kee visited at our home. At that time he told me in confidence: 'They will never find the Benders alive. You can set down all such stories as false. I have talked with a man who helped make way with them and helped bury them. They are buried within two miles of their home. The people who are responsible for their death are all members of our society. They are buried in a ravine, somewhere between their home and the town of Parsons.' "I fully believe that my uncle told me the truth. I promised him that I would never tell what he told me till after he was dead, and I have kept my promise. I feel certain that the Benders have not been captured in Colorado." PLAGUE AT N. Y. Steamer Hohenfels, From Cal cutta, Brings It In. The One Case Developed Sent to Swinburne Island. New York, July 24. Dr. Doty, health rr tho Wirt of New York, an- nounced today that the illness of Rab- vain, the stoker from the steamer Ho henfels, sent to Swinburne island on Monday, has been diagnosed as bu bonic plague. The Hohenfels came from Calcutta. Dr. Doty says the case is a mild one. All of the crew of the Hohenfels will be held at Swinburne island1 for obser vation, the vessel to be thoroughly disinfected. RAIN AT EL RENO. Sid Clark Registers Choctaw R. II. Doing Big Business. Kansas City, Mo., July 24. A special to the Star from El Reno says: A general down pour of rain began falling shortly after noon to the delight of everybody. There was no scramble for umbrellas. Men were glad to standi in line and let the rain soak Into them. They pulled off their hats and let th rain wet their heads and then took their handkerchiefs or sleeves and washed their faces. Had the rain fallen in torrents the homeseekers would have been beaten to shelter, but the comfortable drizzle revived them. Senator Sidney Clarke of Oklahoma City registered today. One booth today registered one thousand applicants by 10 o'clock, exhausting the crowd in line. The Choctaw railroad Is hauling about as many passengers today as the Rock Island. A story became current today that Dick Plunkett of Ponca City had been run over by the cars and his head cut oftK but this was found to be untrue. STILL VERY HOT. Mercury Still Leaves the 100 Mark Behind. Yesterday's rain amounted to four hundredths of an inch, not enough to lay the dust. Today the government forecast holds out but little hope and that is for a few clouds between us and the sun. The forecast Is "party cloudy tonight and Thursday, slight changes ln tempera ture." The minimum temperature last night was 74 at 3 o'clock. The wind has been from the east blowing six miles an hour. Today's temperatures as recorded by the government ther mometer were as follows: 7 o'clock 8o;il o'clock 100 o'clock ..86112 o'clock 103 9 o'clock 9lj 1 o'clock 104 10 o'clock ...96 1 2 o'clock 105 DUE TO THE HEAT.

Great Crowds Seek Admittance to the Fosburg Trial. Hundreds Denied Admittance Owing to Lack of Room. STORY OF THE DEFENSE As Told by Their Attorney Was the Attraction. Makes Strong Presentation of the Burglar Theory. Pittsfield, Mass., July 24. The doors of the court house in which the l os burg manslaughter trial is proceeding were besieged fully an hour before tha opening of today's session by crowds of spectators and owing to the crush hundreds had to be denied admittance so great was the interest In the address of Mr. Joyner, the attorney for the de fense. Mr. Joyner, at the hour of ad journment yesterday, had Just described the scene on the morning of the trag edy, when he said, Robert L. Fosburg. who had been beaten by burglars, hail recovered consciousness and rushed to a window and screamed "Murder!" Ha resumed today by telling why the For burgs kept firearms in the house. Mr. Joyner said: "We know and the government dues not know that it was the defendant's pistol which shot his sister," he con tinued. "The firm of R. L. Fosburg Co. had many men in its emj'loy, tha pay roll amounting to some Jti.wiO week ly. The men were non-English-speaK-ing and were paid in money at the of fice of the company. Mr. Fosburg, Sr.. would take money from the bank to tha office in an electric car. The men knew this and because of the risk the chief of police had once remarked that if anv men needed a pistol they uheFosbui did. For this reason the defendant got one "Mr. Fosburg, the defendant and his wife, occupied the kitchen bed room, but they discovered a disagreeable odor in the sink and moved to another room leaving some wearing apparel and a. pistol in the bureau. "Robbery and revenge might have been motives of the burglars," Mr. Joyner declared, "they were young, ac tive slight men, else they could have not gotten out of the house through tha opening left by the screen. "The defense," he said, "intended to show that the soiled clothing, pillow cases, etc., were thrown by the family Into the basket in the carriage house. "The theory of the defense is that the crime was not the performance of skill ed burglars, that the stockings which were worn and cut were drawn on over shoes to muflie the sound of step; that the tracks seen were made by the men when they left the house and that they intended to steal anything they could lay hands on. "Men were seen running down Bene dict street after the tragedy," he said, "and it is the theory of the defense that they doubled on their trail and when the posse came along, joined In tha pursuit, thus diverting suspicion from themselves. "The furniture in the house was cheap and easily broken and It was broken," he asserted, "in the struggle in tha back room. There was only a narrow! space between the bed and bureau ami the defense claims that the bureau was twisted around during the fray." In conclusion, Mr. Joyner sairl: "The defense will show that the fam ily had done Its utmost to bring to Justice the 'men who entered the house; and that whatever may be the theory. Miss May was a woman without an enemy. In her home and in her church life she won the affection of all who knew her. She was her brother's com panion, her mother's idol and, to tha younger members of the family Fha was ever helpful. There was no es trangement between any members of the family." Mr. Joyner concluded his address nnr the witnesses for the defense Includ ing neighbors, members of the Fosburg family and Miss Bertha Sheldon were sworn In a group. ICE FAMIHE.

TOPEKA STATE JOUttXAI,, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JTJEY 21, 1901. SPORTjHGJlEWS. l'oslon and Chicago, of Nation al League Clubs, Are Losing Money This Season For First Time. RIVALS GET CROWDS. American Teams in These Cities Draw Well. Younger Organization Says It Will Not Compromise. Washington, July 24. Boston and Chicago as shown by the official re turns at league headquarters, are los ing money this season. This condition of affairs is revealed by the financial statements which all of the National League clubs have to file after each game with the secretary of the Nation al League. Boston and Chicago in years Iast have generally been among the regular and consistent money-makers of the league, consequently this trans fer of these two veteran establishments from the surplus to the deficit side of the balance sheet Is a subject of ser ious reflection by the league magnates all down the line. Although the league magnates per sistently and emphatically deny that Jeace negotiations are pending between the National League and their rival, the American League, they reluctantly confess that the ltnancial troubles in Boston and Chicago are due to the suc cessful competition of the teams man aged by Jimmie Collins and Charles t in. Is key respectively. It is claimed that if the Boston and Chicago representatives in the Nation al League could stand well up in the tirst division the result might be dif ferent: but so long as Mr. Soden and Mr. ilart are at the head of the tail end teams they cannot successfully compete with their youthful rivals of the American League. In spite of the heavy financial losses which Boston and Chicago have thus far sustained, during the present sea son. It is said that the league as an or ganization has made money. The at tendance at nearly all the cities has been fairly good, and there has been a remarkable revival of interest In the national game all over the country, and particularly In New York and St. Louis. Of course, the newspaper accounts of the attendance in tne respective cities are not always official. For Instance, in St. Louis not long ago it was stated that the crowd numbered something like 19.000. There was, on that occasion, an actual attendance aggregating about 14,0'jO. Unless the leaders of the American League are deceiving their friends, there will be no compromise with the National League. Recent talks with Collins Griffith, McGraw, McAleer, Con nie Mack and Jimmie Manning are all to the same effect. That is that the American League is prosperous, and w ill continue in the business regardless of what the National League may say or do. The players In the American League receive their salaries promptly, are well treated and It Is predicted that a number of men now playing in the National League will voluntarily peek positions with the American League at the close of the present sea son.

A SUIT FOR DAMAGES Is Hinted at to Follow the In vestigation. Dewey Probably Will Be Mem ber of tlie Court. New York, July 24. The Herald says: Rear Admiral Winfield Scott Schley has asked Secretary Long: to appoint a court of inquiry to determine the facts In regard to hia course in the Santiago campaign. The admiral drove frorm Elm Point to the Great Neck, L. I., poetoffice yesterday afternoon, and a few minutes before 3 o'clock mailed a letter which was addressed to John D. Long, secretary of the navy, at Washington. Though the admiral would not talk of this letter, the na ture of its contents was known to oth ers In Great Neck, and there ia no doubt that Secretary Long: when he opens It will find in It a request for a formal and official inquiry. When Admiral Schley was pressed to make some statement of his position he wrote the following sentences: "I really think that as this matter is liable to take the form of a judicial investigation, I ought not to be subject to Interview. I think that action is Admiral George Dewey, Who Probably Will Be a Member of the Schley Court of Inquiry. preferable to words, and I have de cided to act. More than this I ought not to be expected to say, but I will add that it is a very great pity that there should be any controversy over matters where everybody did his best." Washington, July 24. The Washing ton Post telegraphed Admiral Schley that in an editorial it is said he owed It to himself as well as to his friends to begin proceedings against Mr. Mac lay, the author of the "History of the United States Navy," to disprove the latter's charge, adding. "Will you do this? Please wire statement." It received the following: "Great Neck. L. I., July 23. "Editor Washington Post: "I believe the first step should be the Investigation of all matter by a court, the civil action afterward. I am pre paring to take this course. "W. S. SCHLEY." The Post, as a result of extensive In quiries based upon the admiral's dis patch, says in part: "Admiral Schley proposes to ask an investigation at the hands of a naval court of inquiry and then to sue His torian Maclay for libel. His action is the sequel to the developments during; the past week, when the entire country has been stirred by the publication of the unexenaplified outrage on him in the third volue of E. S. Maclay'n history of the United btates navy, in which publication Schley is said to have run away 'in caitiff flight," and is, In addi- V Admiral Sampson, One of the Principals tlon, denounced as a coward, a cur and a traitor. "The Schley court of Inquiry will undoubtedly be one of the most cele brated cases In the naval or military history of the country. The high rank of the officers involved in the contro versy and the intense public feeling which has been aroused will combine to give to the Investigation a dramatic interest. Nothing has occurred ia Washington for many years that will compare with it. "The appointment of the court of inquiry is expected to be made by Sec retary Long, though it would be in the power of the president to make the selections if he chose. This is hardly likely to occur, however. "Admiral Schley's letter asking for the appointment of the court will be addressed to Secretary Long who is his Immediate chief. To address the com munication to the president, ignoring Secretary Long would not only be a breach of naval etiquette, but would be totallv at variance with Schley's care ful observance of punctilious proced ure. The court, therefore, will be named bv Secretary Long unless he shall prefer to refer the matter to the president. "Mr. Long has already stated that If Admiral Schlev requested a court of in quiry he would grant the request and has also expressed his willingness to personally select the court. While he has not made any statement as to its oersonnel, there Is every reason to be lieve that he favors Admiral Dewey and Rear Admirals Ramsay and Benham, the two latter being now upon the re tired list. The name of Admiral Walker has been suggested but it is known that he has expressed views upon the Sampson-Schley controversy in antag onism to Schley and his appointment would, therefore, be seriously ques tioned. It is said that Dewey. Ramsay or Benham have always carefully avoid ed giving an opinion as to the merits of the controversy. All these officers are residents of Washington, although temporarily out of the city to escape the summer heat, and could be quickly summoned to take their places around the table of the court. "Three names are mentioned, because that number is specified in the regula tions for courts of inquiry. There is a possibility that Admiral Dewey might ask to be excused, as he would have a right to do, but it is also morally cer tain that in this event he would be specifically detailed by the secretary v 1 tr for service on the board. This would make his attendance imperative. Secre tary Long, has from the moment that a court of Inquiry was suggested, fav 01 ed the appointment of Admiral Dewey, believing that his appointment would give the highest character to the court and that any decision which it might reach would be accepted by the American people." With respect to the matters to be in quired into by the court of inquiry the Post says that it might be difficult to state briefly the exact questions which will come before the court but that Ad miral Schley condensed them in a letter written to Senator Hale, chairman of the senate committee on naval affairs, February 18, 1S99. This letter divided the criticisms of himself into four heads as follows: First The alleged delay off Clenfue gos. SecondThe alleged slow progress toward Santiago De Cuba from Clen f uegos. Third The movements on the part of the fleet on 26th and 27th of May, (this refers to the returning of the fleet from Santiago toward Key West). Fourth The battle of Santiago and the destruction of Cervera's fleet It is to be expected, says the Post, that Admiral Schley in his letter to the secretary requesting a court of In quiry will specify these grounds of criticism and that Secretary Long will. in turn repeat them In his orders as sembling the court. A court of inquiry- differs from a court martial In that It has no power in the Schley-Sampson Controversy. Nfc. 1 -afk 'J to inflict a sentence. It is -organized simply for the purpose of investigat ing questions of faetj but it has ample authority to make the inquiry complete and exhaustive. The naval regulations say courts of inquiry "shall have pow er to summon witnesses, administer oaths and punish contempts in the same manner as court martial, but they shall only state facts and shall not give their opinion unless expressly required to do so In the order for convening." An important officer of the court will be the judge advocate and recorder, who interrogates the witnesses. Secre tary Long will undoubtedly take unus ual care in selection of this officer who may be chosen from the list of cap tains who participated with Dewey in the Manila battle. Under the naval reg ulations Admiral Schley will be allow ed the attendance of counsel, who will have the right to suggest questions to the judge advocate. It is not known whether Admiral Sampson will ask the privilege of being also represented by counsel. The sessions of the court undoubted ly will be open, although its members have the right to prevent this. There is no appeal from the directions of thet court as to the exclusion or admission ""i -v. v..,.,.., ,'sE9 T ..,,-.:,'-x;:;::,;;;-:::.'r"-'::-":-v 1 i '."-ft -i i J V", t 1-, V Admiral W S.

The Libertad Is au thority for the statement that Senor Paterno will leave the Federal party and will organize what he calls the Nationalists, on a platform resembling that of the Conservatives, with Aguin aldo as president and former insurgent military officers and other members of the Federal party as leaders. The pur pose of the new party wall be the ulti mate independence of the Philippines. This coincides with Senor Paterno's policy, as he has been making efforts to induce Aguinaldo to unite with the new party. GOULD TO BUILD ACASTLE. It Will Be Patterned After That of Kilkenny.

Grand total 131,875. General Passenger Agent Thompson of the Rock Island has advices that passenger trains from the north are heavily loaded, and he expects a big I rush today, Thursday and Friday. Commissioner Richards says his force can register the crowd each day, even if 25,000 people should apply. "My only fear," he said, "Is that several thousand people will arrive on late trains Friday, the last day. I will be compelled to close the registration at 6 o'clock sharp regardless of the number of people left In line." Mr. Thompson says that the Rock Island has handled on an average of 10,000 in and out of Bi Reno every day since July 10. The number of cars moved daily is 100, with an average of 100 passengers to the car. This average, Mr. Thompson says, will be maintained till July 26, making a total of 160,000 people handled in and out of El Reno in sixteen days. This means that the Rock Island will have sold tickets to 80.000 homeseekers or about one-half the number to be registered for the drawing. Friends of Colonel James Graham of St. Marys, Kan., fear that misfortune has overtaken him. He came here a week ago, but has not been seen or heard from since. He was lieutenant colonel of the Twenty-first Kansas in the Spanish-American war, and in the early days was an Indian fighter on the plains. United States Marshal Thomp son has undertaken to find him. Two special cars with 100 men from Pittsburg, Kan., on board came in last night. Captain XV. J. Watson of the Twentieth Kansas, who lost a leg in the Philippines, was in the party. Dr. W. B. Swan, secretary of the Kansas state board of health, joined the crowd of homeseekers today. Judge McBrlde of the district court of Cowley and Sumner counties, Kan sas, registered today. It is estimated that there are 18,000 people camped in and about El Reno. The covered wagon crowd was not a factor here till lately. Until last week Fort Sill was headquarters for those who drove to Oklahoma In search of homes. The wagon crowd here came from southern Kansas counties, Okla homa and other nearby territory. The camp extends for five miles up and down the river, and many people have gone to the prairie between El Reno and the fort in order that their horses may graze. The price of feed is high and those who stay close to town are charged whatever the dealers choose to ask. People camped on the prairie have no shade, except that of their wagons, but they have good water from wells in the vicinity of Fort Reno. A well at the Indian agency at Darling ton, near the fort, supplies a wagon village of BOO souls with water for drinking purposes. XV. B.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. JULY 24, 1001 3 R A 1 L R 0ADE JEWS. Slokl Snake D&nre Will Occur ftext Month. Survival of a Weird Pagan Cer emony of America. A PRAYER FOR RAIN. Santa Fe Bans Within 75 Jliles of Pueblos. Trip Overland With Wagons and Tenting Equipment. The story of the Moki snake dance is an old one, and yet it is one which never lacks in fascination. It is one of the rare survivals of the pagan cere monies which characterized the an cient peoples of the American conti nent. Next month the snake dance occurs Jn Arizona, in the pueblos of Mishon ginovi and Wolpi. It is given by the Pueblo Indians. Here are a few interesting facts about the snake dance. It is given every two years at the above named pueblos. It is a prayer for rain. It continues for nine da vs. The public perform ance (in which live rattlesnakes are handled) occurs on the ninth or last day, which is the time when the gen eral public are invited ti be present, although no obectioii is made to an earlier visit. The province of Tusayan. or Moki reservation. comprises 4.000 square miles and is inhabited by 2.000 In dians, who are grouped in seven vil lages on three hish mesas near tne southern border. Wolpi. -the place of the gap." on the first mesa, where the most interesting festivities are to take place, is peopled by Indians who are more progressive than the other tribes and who are very friendly. The dance there is said to be better than the one held shortly before at Mishonginovi on the second mesa. It is expected that the dance at Wolpi will be given between August 14 and 23: the snake ceremony may cone as early as August 0. Exact dales are not announced by the snake priest until sixteen days beforehand. The flute ceremony at Oraibi. on the third mesa, occurs about the same time. This novel dance is an elaborate affair, and by many considered as equal to that with the snakes. The snake dance is an elaborate prayer for rain, in which the reptiles are gathered from the fields, intrustei with the prayers of the people, and then given their liberty to bear these petitions to the divinities who can bring the blessing of copious rains to the parched and arid farms of the Hopls. It is also a dramatization of an ancient half-mythic, half-historic legend dealing with the origin and migration of the two fraternities which celebrate it. and by transmis sion through unnumbered generations of priests has become conventionalized to a degree, and possibly the actors themselves could not now explain the sign lhcan.ce of every detail of the ritual. One thing which tends to make the Moki ceremonies "exclusive" is the fact that it is difficult to reach the pueblos where the dances are given. The nearest railway is 75 miles away. This is the Santa Fe-Pacifie. From the railway the journey is made in wagons. There are no hotel3, and those who go are obliged to carry tents and provisions with them. In a pamphlet about the dance Just Issued by the Santa Fe the follow ing Suggestions to tourists are offered: 'Wear thick-soled shoes; smoked spectacles or eye-glasses will afford protection from the sun; hats should be of straw and have a broad brim; outing suits of light colors are prefer able; avoid dark-colored clothing, which catches all the dust; carry along a waterproof wrap for emergencies; the underclothing should be of mod erate weight. "A few simple medicines will be handy in case of sickness. Indian children love candy; provide yourself with a supply. Bring your camera, but protect its contents from the intense light of the Arizona sunshine." NEW BOCK ISLAND RECORD. Train Traveled 106 Miles in 110 Minutes Without Water. The Goodland Republic says: Proba bly the fastest run ever made on the Rock Island road and one that ranks with the best railroad records in the country for the distance was made by Kngineer James Boyle and Fireman Jeff Powers, with engine St07, on No. 4Z, the Rock Island eastbound Rocky aiountain limited, Tuesday night. The train was delayed one hour and 80 minutes between Claremont and Be thune, Col., by engine 937, Kngineer Patrick In charge, breaking down. The disabled engine managed to pull the train to Kanorado where it was met by the tKI7, sent out from Goodland. When Engineer Boyle pulled out of Ooodland with the train he was still an hour and 30 minutes behind schedule time, but there is nothing more to hl3 liking than having an opportunity to make up time. A full tank of water bad been taken while waiting at Kan orado and after leaving Goodland no stops were made until Norton was reached where Xo. 6 was met and the then empty tank replied, all of which required about five minutes. It is log miles from Goodland to Norton and the distance was covered in 110 min utes Mr. Boyle turned the train over to the next engineer at Phillipsburg only 2 minutes late, making up one hour and hye minutes on the already last schedule In the 140 miles Another notable feature of the run was Jn going from Kanorado to Nor ton. 124 miles, without taking water The engine is of the fast plssenger type with a single-pair of drivers to each side, and the train consisted of H ATI UN G CORN TO KANSAS. Sounds Like Hauling Coals to New castle, but It's True. Chicago, July 24.-The Chicago Great W estern and Chicago, Milwaukee and f ,taU ra,iS e9terlay contracted for the transportation of corn and oats aggregating 50,000 bushels, from Chi cago to Kansas City. Other roads hav made simUar contracts, and the bulk of the corn and oats supplies in the eastern elevators will be moved west El!?'? the ne" few week to furnish feed for western cattle Th CU1,n f aJfairs s not un precedented, but it has been many years since corn and oats shipped from the west to the east have been returned to the west for feed. Hundreds of cat tle are now being shipped into Kansas City daily and sold at a sacrifice bv farmers who feel that they would be unable to carry them through the fall and winter. These cattle are being bought up by men who have money sufficient to hold them until next year. and they are the parties who are now buying up what feed remains stored in the eastern elevators. The shipments of feed to the went will serve to bring the traffic of west em roads a little nearer the standard set for this time, when the magnitud& of the western wheat crop was realiz ed. However, it will still fall far short As a result of the drought and the al most total failure of the western corn crop, much of the wheat is being held in the west for feeding purposes, and the movement east is by no means what was expected. This has resulted in unusually strong competition, and the Kansas City terminal lines are now charging the Santa Fe, Rock Island and Missouri Pacific roads with biddin for grain at western points above the Kansas City market. By such means. it is alleged, the granger roads receive tne long nauls to Chicago and St. Louis at the expense of the Kansas City mar ket. Threats of retaliatory action are being made by the terminal lines. GREAT IS STUBBS. Rocky Mountain News Calls Him the Highest in the World. A highly important traffic meeting is to take place in Chicago next Friday, says the Rocky Mountain News of Den ver. The meeting has been called by J. C. Stubbs, general traffic advisor of the Harrinian railway syndicate, and the principal object of the meeting is to discuss the Colorado and Utah situ ation. All the lines of the Colorado Utah pool have been invited to send representatives, and Chairman C. A. Parker, of the associations, with head quarters at the Union depot, this city, will be present. Railway men are greatly interested in the result, as they believe it will be of far reaching importance in controll ing the policy of the mountain lines during the next few years. Mr. Stubbs was general traffic manager of the Southern Pacific road, but was invited to a more important. position by Mr. Harrinian, who holds the key to the railroad situation of nearlv all the lines of the west. The Santa Fe and Rock Island are outside of the syndicate as yet, but it is acknowledged they can be taken in whenever the magnates are ready to pay the bills. As traffic ad visor, a new title in the railway world, Mr. Stubbs holds the highest position of any railway man of the globe, his territory and power being greater than any other railroad king can command. A mere hint from Stubbs would be re garded as an imperative order, and Mr. Harriman is credited with announcing that anything Stubbs savs is law. The meeting of Friday is the first large meeting called by the new magnate, and a big attendance is expected. It is possible that roads operating with the bureaus which were in force previous to the appointment of Stubbs. will ha.ve representatives present. As all the lines have been invited, this is looked upon as probably true. EASY FOB ENGINEERS. Secretary Arnold Says That Oil For Fuel la a Good Thing. Frank Arnold, secretary of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, is an advocate of the use of oil as fuel for engines. He says the substitution of oil for coal, even if it becomes wide spread, will not do away with firemen, though it will make their work much lighter and more pleasant. An engi neer has more apparatus ,to attend to than one man can easily look after, and the fireman could be of much assist ance. Moreover, the laws would re quire two men on every engine as a matter of protection to the train in case sickness or death should strike' the man at the throttle. When the air brake was Introduced it was thought that its use would do awav with a brakeman, but legislation took a hand and required at least two brakemen on every train. Engineers are developed out of firemen. Oil nor anything else could provide another method of mak ing the men who run the big iron horses. The use of oil might possibly have some effect upon the wages of the fire men, but this possibility is too remote to cause worry. IT IS HARD WORK. Railroad Graders Say Dust and Heat Are Unbearable. Emporia, Kas., July 24. The Orient contractors began work on the right of way west of town near Moon creek The big grader with a small force of men went out today. The remainder of the men and horses were put at work near the stock yards to finish up a lit tle roadbed there. Work will hardly be resumed In town again before the judge gives a decision in the Santa Fe case. The men report the work very hard, and say that the dust and heat are almost unbearable. The ground is so hard also that the horses find their part very difficult, and were it not for the grader progress would be slow indeed. AFTER AUGUST L, Missouri Pacific to Run Fast Train From Topeka to Fort Scott. Pittsburg, Kas., July 24. Division uperintendent R. E. Cahill. of the Mis souri Pacifie. was in the city this week, and stated that the connection between his road and 'the Southern was com pleted at Joplin and that there would be a force of men here soon to com plete that here. Mr. Cahill states that arrangements have been perfected to put on the new Missouri Pacific train service over the Kansas City Southern about August 1, thus giving Pittsburg increased railroad facilities, as it will make a direct line to Topeka and the center of the state, via Fort Scott, only occupying about three hours and a half on the trip, while heretofore it has oc cupied a day. It will also be of vast benefit to the Missouri Pacific in the transmission of the zinc ore from the Joplin district to the smelters at Iola, La Harpe and Gas City, which has heretofore had the long haul by the way of Carthage. Nevada and Rich Hill. By the new line via Pittsburg and Fort Scott the distance will be reduced about one-third. The combi nation will result advantageously to both roads. TRAMP TANKED UP. Newest Scheme Yet For Stealing a Ride on the Train. The following story 5s from the Ar kansas City Traveler. The question is. Who tanked up, the tramp or the man who wrote the story? "Last night the firenan on No. 405, the south-bound Santa Fe passenger train, received a great scare. The train stopped at Mulvane and the engine took water. During this time the fire man was standing in the back of the tender. After a full tank had been taken the fireman released the spout and it was pulled up to its place. He had no sooner let it go than the head of a man appeared in the manhole of the tank. The fellow was nearly drowned, and his appearance at that time and place gave the fireman all kinds of heart trouble. The fellow had crawled into the tank at Wichita and there was at that time but a small amount of water in it. He of course didn't think that a full tank would be taken on at Mulvane, and figured that he would have a cool ride with his body in the water but his head out. When the tank was filled up he was nearly drowned before he could get air. He will probably not try to ride in the tank again." THAT DIFFERENTIAL BATE. Bailroad Commissioners Hear the Complaint of Topeka Millers. The board of railroad commissioners heard the Santa Fe's side of the flour rate controversy with the Topeka mil lers yesterday. A. A. Hurd explained to the board that the five cent differential rate granted Topeka was given at a time when a similar differential rate existed in favor of Kansas City on grain ship ped east. That some time ago the Kansas City differential rate was re called and to keep Topeka on an equal footing with Kansas City the Topeka differential was also abolished. The board heard the Caney complaint against the Santa Fe yesterday after noon, and will decide the case Satur day. The residents of Caney object to the train service of the Santa Fe and would have the board compel the road to give better service. The Santa Fe operates through Caney over a Missouri Pacihc track and claims that under the conditions of the contract no dif ferent service can be had. The com mission has received a number of com plaints because the Santa Fe has not promptly furnished grain cars. The road explains that there is such a rush of grain business in Oklahoma and Kansas it cannot get all the cars it needs. The Union Pacifie railroad company In an official notice received by the board yesterday refused to allow grain elevators to be built on the order of the commission on the right of way of the company at Delphos and Louray. The road denies the power of the board to make such an order and the case may go to the supreme court and the rail road commission law be tested.

Engine 488 is in from Emporia for gen eral overhauling, having arrived here the other day in charge of Fireman Gallatly of that place. John Schuler. a helner In the east shoo. had his eyes filled with some foreign sub stance, presumably filings, Tuesday, and had to go home. John Brennintrer of the lamt depart ment is mourning the loss of a valuable cow which succumbed to the extreme heat a day or two ago. Mrs. Gus Counter, wife of a former boilermaker In the shops here, is sick. Counter now works in the Rock Island shops at Horton. Ralph Clayton of the south shoo runs in Tuesday after a lay off of one day. Engine 242 has been turned out after a general overhauling. Clarence Sha.v. a machinist apprentice. who had his face injured while trying to celebrate the Fourth, has recovered suffl cientlv to go to work again. ornr Wilson, clerk in the office of the boiler shop foreman, has been to Bl Reno.

He expects to be able to return to Emporia again in about ten days. There is a possibility that the Santa Fe will be compelled to haul water in tank cars to some of its water stations during the drouth. At some of the places which the road reaches the supply is running low and there is some difficulty in getting what is necessary for use. The three Sayler brothers of the shops received word Tuesday announcing the death of their cousin, Mrs. Clara Klrk endall of Emporia. A. Sayler is a boiler maker: D. S. works in the mill, and Reed is fireman in the boiler room of the mill. The two first named went to Emporia to attend the funeral. Mrs. Kirkendall had been ill with consumption for a long time, and all attempts at benefiting her failing health by a change of climate proved fu tile. William Puett, who lost his right arm in the big shears a few weeks ago. has so far recovered from the effects of the accident and operation that he is able to be around, though not yet discharged from the hospital. A collection of about $56, which was taken up among the shop men. was presented to him the first of the week. Puett thanks the men most sin cerely for their substantial show of sym. pathy and says he hopes they understand he is fully appreciative of what they did for him. John Wood, a machinist in the water service, is on duty again after a lay off of three and a half months. Wood was working in the tool room of the black, smith shop when a. heavy hammer anvil fell on his right ankle, crushing it so badly that he was taken home and re mained there nearly all the time since. The anvil weighed several hundred pounds and the doctors told Wood it was a wonder he didn't lose his foot, but somehow he has so far recovered that he can walk now without much trouble. G. M. Webster, a clerk in the store house, has rettirned from a vacation of ten days spent at his old home in Sedg wick county. Mr. Webster talks interest ingly concerning the agricultural condi tions in that part of the state. He says that the crop of wheat this year was im mense. Every few miles threshing ma. chines are running and the yield of the grain averages from 27 to 30 bushels per acre, all testing first grade wheat or at least 63 pounds to the bushel measure. Since he was a resident of that part of the state wheat has almost supplanted corn as a staple agricultural product, only a. comparatively small acreage of the latter grain being now planted. Mrs. Webster was with him on his trip. FROM CLYDE. The Rock Island agent at Clyde sold $997.86 worth of tickets in one day to El Reno tourists. The Central ranch of the Missouri Pa cific will sell half fare tickets to Downs, July 27, the occasion being the twenty seiond year of the birth of the town. The Rock Island agent at Belleville sold tickets amounting to $675 in one day to Oklahoma tourists. The Rock Island is handling so much Colorado and California business that their trains are frequently late, and run in two and three sections from Belleville west. The business men of Hoxie are clam oring for better railroad service on the Salina, Plainville Oakley branch of the Union Pacific road. IT IS LEFT OUT. Support of Constitution Omitted From Oath in the Philippines. (Correspondence of Associated Press.) Manila, June 12. The passage today by the Philippine commission of the act organizing the courts of the archi pelago was preceded by two Interesting incidents, both of which brought out authoritative statements from Presi dent Taft. The first was in reference to the wording of the oath of office to be taken by judges. Support of the constitution of the United States (which all officials in the United States subscribe to in their oaths of office) was purposely omitted from this oath, but recognition of the supreme author ity of the United States was included. Judge Ide. author of the judiciary bills, held that swearing to support the United States constitution when it had already been decided that at least one feature of that instrument (uniformity of duties clause) does not apply in the Philippines, would be improper. He considered that discussion of the mean ing of the constitution as affecting powers and duties of United States of ficials in the Philippines would be of immense service, since these questions are in process of settlement in the United States supreme court. Replying to a question by Senor Pat erno, former secretary of state in the Aguinaldo cabinet, as to whether, since it was generally assumed that the con stitution follows the flag, the oaths of office of Philippine officials should not include support of the constitution, Judge Taft said: "The oath to support the laws of the Philippine islands, if the validity of these laws depends upon the con stitution of the United States, is an oath to support laws enacted In ac cordance witn the constitution of the United States. There has been so much discussion of the issue presented in this form 'Does the constitution of the United States follow the flag of the United States?' that it was thought best not to invite discussion by chang ing the form of oath from that which had originally been adopted by the military government when the commis sion came here. Personally, I think that statement of the issue is exceedingly misleading. Every person who comes to these isl ands accredited as an officer or agent of the United States government de rives his authority from some officer who was appointed under the constitu tion of the United States; therefore, it seems to me, that to say that the con stitution has no operation in these isl ands is to say something which log ically can not be sustained; and the real question Is not whether the con stitution extends to these islands, but what clauses of the constitution affect the government of them. In other words, the real issue is whether con gress or the president acting under the constitution in asserting the au thority of the United States in these islands is restricted by certain limita tions in that constitution which cer tainly apply to the action of the presi dent and apply to the action of con gress in dealing with the state. Now the constitution contains a clause which requires all duties on im ports to be uniform throughout the United States. The supreme court has. in a recent decision, news of which came yesterday, decided that clause of the constitution does not apply to gov ernment created by congress in Porto Rico and these islands. The statement that the constitution is in operation in these islands may mean one thing to one person and another thing to an other. Why, therefore, introduce into an oath of office a form of statement which might lead to misconstruction? Why not follow the old form which serves every purpose?" WAS FIE17S. Indians on the Pottawatomie Reservation to Celebrate. Are to Start Green Corn Dance at Nadeau July 27. WILL LAST FOUR DAYS Kickapoo, Sac and Fox and Wiuuebagos Will Visit. Visitors Win Be Allowed and Made Welcome. Nadeau, July 24. The Indians on the Pottawatomie reservation will hold their annual green corn dance begin ning Saturday, July 27, and dance for four days. There will be visiting Sac and Fox, the Kickapoos and Winnebagos, all of whom will take part in the dance. A big time is expected and all that wish to see this big dance should come as dances of this kind will soon be a thing of the past. WATER IS VEET POOR. Fort Scott in Legal Tussle With Its Waterworks Plant. Fort Scott, July 24. A unique propo sition of law has been raised here and the Kansas supreme court will be call ed upon to decide it, probably. The Fort Scott Water company has a fran chise to furnish the city water out of the Marmaton river. Just above the company's pumphouse farmers give their stock access to the water and the cattle and hogs stand in it and pollute it. The company insists that if the city wants pure water she must go up and buy the privileges from the farm ers, while the city insists that it is the water company's obligation to do so. Today the council in special session appointed a committee to notify the company that if it does not take imme diate steps to purify its services the city will refuse to pay hydrant rentals. The company stands pat. There is said to be no case similar to it in the books. HAS TOO MUCH NOW. Congressman Calderhead Gets Notice of No Sural Delivery For Abilene. Abilene, July 24. A large number of rural delivery petitions have been pre pared in this district and Congressman Calderhead has been urging their at tention. The postoffice department at Washington has just informed him that the Fifth district must wait. The super intendent says: "There are more rural routes estab lished in your district than any other district in Kansas, except one. The de partment is endeavoring to equalize the rural free delivery service, and with that end. in view is ordering investiga tion of applications in communities which have little or no service, rather than In districts so well applied as that represented by you. I will take pleas ure, however, in again assigning a spe cial agent to your district at the earl iest practical date." OTTAWA'S BUILDING BOOH. Drouth and Crop Failures Do Not Discourage Business Men. Ottawa, Kas., July 24. Ottawa has a building boom on. Drouth and crop failures do not seem to discourage Ot tawa business men. At a meeting of the Ottawa university Tuesday after noon bids were authorized for the erection of a new college building to contain a chapel roo-n, four recitation rooms and three rooms to be used as society halls. This building will b; an addition to the new college building. It is understood that the building will cost about $15,000. A contract was let today for the erection of a $20,000 build ing on Main street. This building will be owned jointly by C. L. Becker, drug gist, and Underwood Underwood. A $30,000 warehouse is now going up at First and Walnut streets. It will be occupied by the Ottawa Wholesale Grocery company. MUSCOTAH EXCITED. Citizens Think They Have Struck Gold Bearing Rock. Atchison, July 24. There is a gold excitement at Museotah, this county. In digging a public well there rock was taken out that contains ore of pyrites of iron. The ore has been sent off to be assayed. There is said to be a three-foot vein of his ore. The vein lies at an angle of 75 degrees and was found at a depth of twenty feet. Parsons Sells Katy Bonds. Parsons, Kas., July 24. By a per emptory resolution the city council last night instructed Mayor Busby and City Treasurer Stewart to pay over to the Missouri, Kansas Texas railway about $19,000, the proceeds of the sale of "Katy" common stock held by the city. This action was voted upon and carried at last spring's election, but the city officials held it up until in demnified against legal responsibility. Lebanon Depot Burned. The Chicago, Rock Island Pacific depot at Lebanon burned last night. Nothing was saved except the freight bills and books. A large amount of freight was consumed, and telegraphic communication cut off until repairs can be made. This is the second depot building burned at Lebanon within the last four years. Killed by a Train. Fort Scott, Kas., July 24. James Durham, a young railroad man, was run over by a train here Tuesday and so badly injured that death resulted in a few hours. AMERICANS HURT In an Accident oa the Moscow Bt Petersburg R. R. St. Petersburg, July 24. The wheel of a sleeping car on the Moscow-St. Pe tersburg express broke when the train was near Okoulowka at 2 o'clock yes terday. The car fell over on its side, and 13 persons were injured, among them Mrs. Beard of Boston, Mrs. Har mln of San Francisco, who suffered from shock and had her right hand slightly scratched and Mrs. Calendar of New Tork. A physician arrived up on the scene immediately and the in jured were taken to Moscow during the forenoon. TABLE ASP KITCHEN.

At no other time in the year does the appetite demand greater variety than during the trying and enervating "hot spell" of our summers. To give man wide and vigorous life, so that in the great procession he pauses not, or flags for the moment or falls, nature opens her hand and pours forth to him the treasures of every land and every sea. For him waves the wheat field's golden glory, the rye, oats, maize and rice, each different, but life-sustaining. Fruit of vine and plant and tree spread their harvest in the air, ever ready at his hand, while in the rich soil lies stored the starch-giving potato, the sugary beet and all the Ions list of health and strength-giving vegetables that dwell under the earth in fragrant gloom. ONE SHOULD ENJOY THEIR FOOD. Nature bid3 us eat, drink and be merry. But in order to do this we must have a natural inclination toward our food, or it must be of such character and preparation when set before us that appetite comes with eating. While each organ requires its peculiar nutriment, we are such creatures of habit and imsulse we must cultivate much common sense and good judg ment in order to correct the too often wayward promptings of an unnatural and artificial craving for such sub stances as are most questionable if not absolutely harmful for the season, or individual conditions. CHANGING DIET IN HOT WEATHER While it is best to avoid as much as possible the heavier diet of fat meat during the hottest weather, one must not forget that it is not the lean meats 6o much as the sugar and starches that are the heat-producing foods and best to be avoided except in small quantities and accompanied by such other foods as will counter their propensity to give out undue amount of heat in the sys tem. As an example, rice would seem a more acceptable starchy vegetable than the potato for summer diet oli ac count of its delicacy in flavor and ap pearance, but it should be accompanied by acid fruits, tomatoes or greens to be entirely suitable for hot weather. As potatoes, new or old. have not their full amount of starch they do not rank as high in heat-giving properties, unless we consider the sugar some varieties contain. But with plenty of fresh fruit acids and green salad vegetables to cool the blood one need not make a too radical change in the nature of the food sub stances except where it seems expedient to do so. for very often the fruits and green vegetables found in the markets are in such condition as to render them more harmful for hot weather diet than a lean meat diet and the less perishable vegetables. That God-given attribute common sense must be our guide in feeding these bodies of ours and guard ing against direct violations of the laws of health In all seasons. A COLD FRUIT SOUP. These are refreshing on a hot sum mer day and are greatly relished at the beginning of a meal. They must be carefully made and flavored, however, or they are rather insipid. They should have rather an acid flavor and must be served ice cold. Croutons of bread sprinkled with a little sugar and toast ed in the oven are usually served with fruit soups. The juice of raspberries and currants flavored with a little stick of cinnamon, nutmeg and lemon juice, with equal quantity of juice and water, slightly sweetened and thickened with arrowroot, makes a delicate and tasty soup. Do not use more than a teaspoon ful of arrowroot to each pint of liquid and cook until the soup is clear. GREEN PEA SOUP. Cover two quarts of shelled peas with Just enough water to cook without burning, adding a few sprigs of mint and a teaspoonful of sugar, unless the peas are fresh from the vine. Cover the pea pods with cold water and cook one hour. When the peas are done rub them through a coarse sieve, moisten ing with the water in which the pods have been cooked. Add the pulp to the water drained from the pods with a large slice of onion; salt and pepper to taste. Cook for ten minutes; then re move the onion. Add a tablespoonful of butter or half a cupful of rich cream and a very little thickening if the soup is too thin. BROILED SPANISH MACKEREL. Have the fish drawn from the gills, removing head and fins. Cut the fish down the back and remove the spine. Wash and dry quickly and thorough ly; sprinkle with salt and pepper. Beat the yolks of two eggs slightly; add an equal quantity of oil and dip the fish into this; then cover well with bread crumbs and boil over a clear moderate ly hot fire. Serve with lemon sauce. LEMON SAUCE. Put half a cupful of butter in a lined saucepan; add the juice of a large lemon and a little salt and pepper; stand the saucepan over boiling water and beat until thick and hot: then mix in carefully the beaten yolks of two eggs and add a little minced parsley and serve at once. BOILED CORN BEEF WITH SPINACH PUREE. A piece from the fancy brisket is best for this purpose, as it is fine-grained and close in fiber and can be trimmed Into better shape. It will also be nicer for slicing cold. A cut from this part at the beef will require longer cooking than the looser grained piece from neck or ribs. Cover the meat with cold water and bring slowly to boiling point; then keep the water at a gentle but continuous bubble until the meat is tender. A piece weighing four pounds should have at least five hours. When the meat is done serve It nicely arrang ed on a bed of spinach puree garnish ed with carrots, turnips and beets boil ed, sliced and cut into fancy shapes. SPINACH PUREE. Cook the spinach plain, in plenty of boiling water, drain and chop very fine; season with salt, pepper, butter and a little lemon juice or hot vinegar; mois ten with a little of the liquor the meat was cooked in. Heap this on a hot dish and place the meat on top. CARROTS WITH FINE HERBS. Wash and scrape six or eight young, tender carrots; cut them into slices about half an inch thick; cover with plenty of cold water and cook until tender. When half done add salt; melt two level tablespoonf uls of butter in a saucepan; put in a medium-sized on ion chopped fine and stir over the fire until well browned; then add two cup- fuls of water or clear broth and let boil for five minutes. When the carrots are done drain them and put them into the broth; add a level tablespoonful of minced parsley and boil five minutes longer. Take from the fire; season with pepper and salt and a tablespoonful of lemon juice. Turn into a hot dish and garnish with small, triangular pieces of bread dipped into a mixture of milk and egg and fried. NEW POTATO SALAD. Scrape six or eight new potatoes; cut them into rather thick slices and then into fancy shapes or neat dica. Cook in plenty of boiling salted wai SICK An Increasingly common disease. Is on of the consequences of the habitual uso of tea or coffee. Rheumatism, nervous ex haustion and constipation are other mnl adies due to this common drug habit. The medical experts of the Battle Crefk Sanitarium, as the result of painstaking research, produced a delightful and satis fying substitute for coffee, Caramql Ce real. It a pure cereal product, no molasses or sugar factory refuse in Its composi tion. It fully takeH the place of coffee and is free from its poisonous properties. Each package bears a picture of the world-famous Battle Creek Sanitarium, Ask your grocer for It. until they are tender, but not well enough done to break; drain and moisten them well with French dress ing and set aside to get cold. Scald, peel and chill sufficient number of small, firm, ripe tomatoes to make equal quantity of the two vegetables; sprinkle French dressing over the to matoes and then mix carefully wltli the potatoes. Line a salad dish witn crisp lettuce leaves; fill in with tho vegetables and garnish with a little minced ham strewn over the top and minced gherkins. RED CURRANT CREAM. Cover an ounce of gelatine with a cup of cold water and let it stand un til dissolved: then add another cup of boiling water and stir until tho gela tine is dissolved; add to this a cup of red currant juice and juice of a larsrn lemon. Sweeten the mixture to t ifcte and stir over the fire until It reach. boiling point; then strain and Hani aside to cool. Then add half a cup of powdered sugar to a pint of sweet, rich cream and whip to a stiff froth: add this to the currant juice and whisk all together until it is quite still: turn Into a wetted mold and pack in ten until stiff enough to turn out. Turn Into a fancy dish and serve with whipped crean or iced fruit heaped, around the base. Inquiries Answered. (No attention paid to inquiries not giving name and address of writer, plainly written.)

POTATOES LYONNxiSE. This is the way "Oscar," tha n .tod maitre d'hotel of the Waldorf, prepares Lyonnese potatoes: Cut into rund slices eight boiled potatoes, lay them in a frying pan with one and one-half ounces of butter, a round 1 i- of fried onion and season with a pinch each of salt and pepper. Cook for rix minutes. until they become w 11 browned, tossing them ail tha while, serve with a small quantity cf chopped parsley sprinkled over them. FRENCH FRIED POTATO I-:?. Select large potatoes; pr? atKi 0t each potato into lengthwise strips about half an inch thick. Throw iiuo cold water for a little while to g"t re.il crisp; then dry thoroughly and fry a nice golden brown in deep hot veg etable oil; season the potatoes as soon as taken from the fat with salt ant white pepper. The fat must not be too hot, as the potatoes must have time to cook mealy and tender. HASHED BROWN POTATOES. Hashed brown potatoes done on top of the stove are cooked in following manner: Boil four good-sized potatoes until they are tender, drain and let gei. cold. Then chop quite fine: place in a frying pan an iron one is the best two level tablespoonf uls of butter, and when hot add the potatoes, tilling the pan to the depth of one inch; sea son with salt and pepper while chop, ping them. Press the potatoes down compactly and smrtothly in the pan with a spoon or limber knife. Then set the pan where they will cook slowly for about 15 minutes and are a nice rich brown on the bottom. Do not stir them about, but when done fold them over like an omelet and turn out on a hot dish, garnish with parsley and serve. An appetizing and attractive dish. DEAD AM) WOUNDED. Oen.

Svlscribers of the State Journal away during the summer may have the paper mailed regularly each day to any address at the rate of thirty cents a month. Address changed as often as desired. While out of town the State Journal will be to you Itke a daily letter front home. Days grow into weeks, -weeks W months and months Into years but no nation evinces any disposition to sug gest to England that she let up on the Boers. In Ppite of strikes all over the coun try, a drouth throughout the central part of the United States, and the fact that everybody that can is taking a vacation, the business of the country continues to make a good showing from week to -week. Twenty-eight ocean steamships are now in process of construction for tha companies operating lines between New York and foreign seaports, and these are, moreover, further additions to a great mercantile fleet which has nearly doubled in carrying capacity within five years past. For all that has been accomplished by foreign occupation of China during the past year, the powers might as well fcave withdrawn after rescuing the le gations. About all there is to show for the time and money expended since the relief expedition accomplished its er rand is the extraction from China of a promise to pay a big Indemnity. Pro bably It will cost much more than the total agreed upon to collect it. The Sampson crowd should get to gether. Secretary Long has ordered the discontinuance of the use of the Maclay naval history In the United States academy at Annapolis, because of its manner of referring to Admiral Schley. Commander Wainwright who is in charge of the academy says this particular volume of history has not been in use by the cadets and that there has at no time been any Inten tion of using it. It Is noticeable that many newspa pers, in discussing the big steel strike are showing a disposition to regard it as a fight between trusts. It is a fact that no question of hours or wages is Involved. The battle Is being waged solely upon a question of principle. The existence of the labor union is at stake oa one side and possibly the profitable existence of the trust on the other though this is not so certain. It may be that the trust could employ nqne but union workmen, and on the terms dictated by the labor organization and still make an amount of money which would be satisfactory to most individ uals. Owing to the peculiar situation referred to above, it is not likely that either side will get as much sympathy in case of trouble as is usually accord ed in case of strikes. THE PERISHING CORN BELT. Under the caption above the Chicago Inter-Ocean summarizes the crop situ ation as follows: The corn belt is being devastated by drought- A corn crop with a money value of SviS.OOo.OOO is withering away. There is no rain in the corn belt, and little promise of rain within the next tew days. If rain comes every shower will have a money value. A general rain would be worth J100.000.000, But if no rain come and the high temperature con tinue, with the passing of every hoar there wiil be a loss of millions. The great corn-growing statea are Indiana, Illinois, Missouri. Kansas, Ne braska and Iowa. These- states pro duced last year 1.278.23JS.OT; bushels of corn, valued at J3S4.642,.a. All these states are the grip of a destroyer as paralyzing as the shifting sands of the desert. Within the limits of the stricken dis trict axe seven other corn-growing s'nt'-s Ohio, Texas. South Iwikuta. Minnesota. Michigan. Wisconsin, and Kentucky. These states produced Last year 441.0uo.ooo bushels of corn, valued at $i. Outside of these thirteen states there mas grown in the United States 3SS.O0O. 0"O bushels of corn. All of the corn states are more or less affected by the drought, l at in the thirteen states the bulk of the world's com croo, repre senting $je,0OO,Outl, is being scorches! off the earth. Th. destruction of the corn rrop would be- a menace to all the commer cial interests of the west. The loss of the corn crop would mean loss to the railroads, to the great manufacturing plant, tn the ocean steamship lines, and to Kuropean interests that last yen r jiaiti us $.'J,'.l.'." for com. There have been times when the eyes of the world were turned to Chicago in ruins, to Galveston overwhelmed by a flood. Now they are turned to the per ishing corn beii of the United States. A rain, sweeping from the gulf north-war-!. or from the mountains eastward, or from the lakes westward would fartus firmness to tile markets the world rr-. r-viT over and would give hop to millions of despairing farmers. As it is, the markets of the world pause, watch, and tremble while the corn belt shrivels. JAYHAWKER. jots. Goodland, looking forward, expects to secure the l&OSi G. A. R. reunion. "Make hay while the sun shines" is an axiom that needs revision In Kan sas this year. It's easy to guess what sort of bait was used by the Russell man who caught a fish with beak and wings. The Dighton Herald observed an un usual and remarkable fact Tuesday evening. The train reached town on time. What's in a. name? Maggie Long was married to her husband and applied for a divorce after six short hours of matrimony. "The Believers" are holding camp meeting at Garnett. One tenet of faith is that it will rain for Providence never sleeps. The appointment of a marshal at Colby keeps the cows from the streets but the citizens still complain of too many dog fights. Colby voted $60,000 bonds towards a certain railroad but they can't get the "fast mail" to even whistle for tha town let alone to stop. The high price of feed has raised the bus fare to the depot at Burlington 25 cents one way where formerly the round trip cost a quarter. One of the strongest temperance pleas ever observed at Hutchinson was the actions of an intoxicated wo man ejected from a passing train. They have pretty fair sized ranches in Haskell county. A half day's prairie fire destroyed all the grass on one man's ranch save a paltry section. A Wellington rogue congratulated himself on finding a horse-shoe but the sheriff told him it was bad luck when the shoe was attached to a horse. The sandhill farmers around Abilene don't give a rap whether it rains or not as they have a plenty of water melons and plums which are bringing good prices. A Goodland man has applied for a patent on some "stingless bees and seedless watermelons" which he is rais ing. Now if he will only add odorless whisky his fortune is made. In the courts of Massachusetts a per son on trial must remain standing until a jury has been secured. It was fortu nate for Jessie Morrison that such usage does not prevail at ElDorado. It is said that Funston 13 surrounded by enthusiastic Filipinos .wherever he goes. It must be remembered too, that the little Kansas general surrounded several of the Filipinos at various places where he went. GLOBS SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. J It is a see-saw, with hopes down and thermometers up. Ever see a lot of girls get the gig gles, and finally get them yourself? You can holler down nearly any body's rain barrel now; there's noth ing in it. Ever remark how much you dislike conceit in others? Your conceit is equally unpopular. Atchison people are sleeping out of doors these nights, with nothing over them but the milky way. Nothing makes a man madder than to say to him: "I'm not as old as you are, but my advice is," etc. Cultivate a spirit of thankfulness. When roaches and water bugs run around, be thankful they are not bed bugs. You may have some Idea of how hot it is out here in Kansas, when the peo ple have lost interest in even their love affairs. Within a few weeks after a man dies his wife's name begins to appear oftener in the personal column of the newspapers. Rural mail routes, and rural tele phones, are all right in their way, but what the farmer really needs is rural waterworks. It would be refreshing to hear a new expression about the hot weather. Nine out of ten people talk about it in exactly the same way. A lecture in Atchison was recently advertised as an intellectual feast, and a man who attended complains that it made him sick at his stomach. A young doctor found business dull in Atchison, and began peddling milk. There are other doctors, and a good many lawyers, who should take the hint. 7 At the swell receptions the coming winter the refreshments will consist of corn bread, and when people have canned corn to eat, they will throw the cans into the front yard instead of the alley as heretofore. QUAKER. REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record.J lU-gotten gains doctors' fees. The yachting cap is on deck. Every restaurant is a sort of waiting room. Every fisherman thinks he is the reel thing. Even a murderer may take life se riously. Widow's weeds may take the form of cigarettes. The man who buys shoes must expect to foot the bill.

SHOT Mike Kelly Starts Dreadful Af fair at Leavenworth. One Man Dies, Three in Critical Condition. PROMINENT PEOPLE Are Shot Without a Word of Warning. Murderer Considered Insane Had a Fancied Wrong. Leavenworth" Kan., July 24. Mike Kelly, shortly after noon today, and while Insane shot four men, fatally wounding three. The victims are: John R. Garrett, a prominent busi ness man. Police Sergeant Dodge. Detective Mike McDonald. Dr. Charles McGee. The condition of Garrett, Dodge and McGee is considered critical. McDonald will probably recover. Kelly, harboring a fancied wrong, en tered Garrett's office unannounced a few minutes after 12 o'clock. Without a word of warning he levelled a re volver at Garrett who sat at his desk and began firing. Five times the revolver cracks re sounded through the building in quick succession, each bullet taking effect In Garrett's body. Garrett fell from his chair without being able to make a move, and when in a few minutes Dodge and McDonald hurried to the scene he was unconscious, lying In a pool of his own blood. Kelly had re loaded his revolver, and when the offi cers entered the office turned it upon them. Sergeant Dodge was shot through the throat, and Detective Mc Donald received a bullet In the leg. A moment later Dr. McGee, summoned to attend Garrett, stepped into the of fice. Kelly again raised his revolver, and pointed it at the physician, who turned to summon help. Kelly fired, one bullet striking McGee In the back near tfTe spine and sending him to the Moor. The affair consumed but five minutes time. Other officers tinally arriving overpowered Kelly and placets him in jail. Several years ago Kelly made an as sault on Garrett's father, and today Kelly evidently mistook John R. Garrett for the elder Garrett. Later In the day Garrett died, after be. ing taken to the hospital. PRAYED BACK TO LIFE JRer. Chas. Parham's Recovery From Heat Prostration. Rev. Chas. F. Parham, the leader of the Bethel college, of "gift of tongues" fame, was overcome with the heat in Potwin late Tuesday afternoon. He was carried to the college west of Washburn college in an unconscious condition. Mr. Farharn was down town today, and said that he recovered in answer to the prayers of the students at the college, who prayed over him until he recovered his strength. HUGHES WRITES LETTER Notifies County Attorney of Ex istence of Ice Trust. Mayor Hughes will this evening send a letter to County Attorney Galen Nichols informing him that there is an ice trust in Topeka, and asking him to commence an action against the trust. He will also transmit what evidence he has concerning the operation of the trust which may be used In an action before the district court. This is in accordance with the Kan sas anti-trust law, which provides that the mayor shall notify the county at torney if he rinds a trust lurking in his domain. WILL FISH SOME M011E. Cyrus Leland and George Clark Not Satisfied. Cyrus Leland and family and Mrs. Harry Findlay and George Clark and family went to Colorado last night. The ladies will go to Colordo Springs and Mr. Clark and Mr. Leland and his son William will go into the mountains to spend another week fishing. Mr. Leland and Mr. Clark returned here the first of the week from a fishing trip to Colorado in time to come in on the hot weather. They decided that the cool breezes of the mountains of Colorado looked better to them than the hot winds of Kansas and accordingly took another outing. STANDS AT 105. Record For Long Duration of High Temperature Broken. At 3 o'clock the government ther mometer held its place at 105, making a longer period of continued extreme heat than has before been felt. TRAVEL IS LIGHTER. No Longer Big Crowds on Oklahoma Trains. The Rock Island excursion business to Oklahoma will be nearly all cleaned up tonight. The last section of the noon train today was not so heavily loaded and the trains tonight will carry all the remaining homeseekers to the new Indian country. Next the problem of bringing the Im mense crowd of people who are in Ok lahoma back to their homes will be en countered. The Rock Island is making arrangements to borrow cars at Kan sas City, New Orleans, Memphis, St. Louis. Chicago and other points to haul into Oklahoma for service when the re turn rush commences. The Rock Island has run eleven extra passenger trains through Topeka on account of the excursion business since the rates went into effect this week Tuesday. The eleven were extra beside the regular trains and do not include the trains going over the northern route. CITY fMYBU!LD. Another Crematory Needed to Dispose of Garbage. Also Talk of Re-establishing the City Dump Nuisance. ARE IN MUCH TROUBLE Board of Health Doesn't Know What to Do. Think That All W ork Must Be Done at Once. "The only way to solve the p-roblem of how to dispose of city refuse and garbage is to build a city crematory." This is the ultimatum which was pro nounced today by City Physician Judd. The fact that the Thompson crema tory is 7.000 barrels behind in its orders; that the city is in bad sanitary condi tion; that orders for cleaning up are pouring in at the rate of 75 a day; that there is big profit in running a crema tory, and that It seems certain that the city dump will have to be re-established, all make it of advantage of the city to own its own crematory. S. C. Thompson, the present owner of the crematory, freely admits that there is "big money" in running a crematory. He says he is making a good thing out of it financially. The crematory makes about a dollar on every horse or cow burned, and on ev ery vault cleaned. On the books of the crematory there are now orders for cleaning 1,400 vaults; the plant has been running at full capacity for two months, and in that time has taken care of about 1,200 vaults. Every day from five to thirty dead animals are brought out to be burned. But Mr. Thompson also admits that he is not able to take care of all the business as it should be taken care of. He says his plant can run to the limit of its capacity, and that is ail. He states that he is willing that the board of health should give him any kind of assistance it desires to give, in order to pull the city out of the present rush of cleaning. The re-establishment of the city dump has practically been decided upon by the board of health, and sani tary committee. The dump is located just south of the crematory on the banks of the river, east of town. At the dump is a big dredge which carries the refuse out into the middle of the river and dumps it. That was the way the city disposed of its refuse before the establishment of the crematory. The city will probably issue licenses to whoever wants to go into the gar bage business. Licenses used to be is sued for $25 a year for this business, but recently it has been all given to one firm. An effort is also being made to get some of the extensive hog raisers in the vicinltv of Topeka to enter Into contract with the city to remove the garbage from the city. The city, for its part, would require each family to have a barrel in which to deposit gar bage. The location of the Thompson crema tory is such that it will certainly have to be moved within a short time, and for this reason Mr. Thompson does not want to increase the size of his plant. The plant is now located on a much used public highway.whicb is certain to be still more commonly used owing to the location of the Oakland river bridge just north of where the crema tory stands. At noon today the sanitary commit tee of the council, together with the board of health, made a trip to the crematory in the patrol wagon. The trip was for the purpose of inspecting the plant and determining on uie dmi course of action. Tt would be next to criminal to re establish the city dump, especially dur ing the drouth, when the river is so low it would scarcely carry off the refuse. That would be a queer way of improv ing the health of the city. SHAMROCK TO COME. Linton's Racing Tacht Leaves For T'T 1 America mis vveeK. London, July 24. Sir Thomas Lipton has arrived at Greenoch to supervise the completion of the preparations which are to fit the Shamrock II for her sea trip to America. The work is being rapidly pushed forward, and if all goes well the cup challenger may leave Greenock today, or if she does not get away so soon it is anticipated that her departure can not be delayed longer than the end of this week. Sir Thomas Lipton will not accom pany the yacht to America, but ex pects to leave for New York about the middle of next month. DEAD IN HER CH A IR. Mrs. Dunlap, Near Talmage, Found by Neighbors.

He told of seeing the body of May Fos burg upon his return to the house. While upstairs he noticed that the end of the dresser in the kitchen bedroom was pulled out from the wall about one foot. This was the first time in the trial that evidence was introduced to show that the bureau was pulled away from the wall. Going to the cellar he found the elec tric light turned on at the switch near the dining room window. He found im prints four feet from the balcony and foot prints in the dirt on the left side of the road. The witness described the search that he made with the state officers. Mr. Lund said that he saw the defendant's pistol at the office on pay day. He never say the elder Mr. Fosburg with a pistol.

Scott is in To peka today and he may be here for the ''political conference" tomorrow. Col. Richards Is a Kigh up the ladder Missouri Pacific attorney and a sort or Bnlie Waguener In his own I liliwlck. He has been behind Judge Cheney's effort to land the postmastership of Fort Scott in the Second district, and it is under stood he has had to gracefully accept the announcement from Congressman Rower sock that Eldon Lowe, the present post master, will be reappointed. Col. Rich ards is a Burton man and Judge Cheney had a strong following of Burton sup porters. This is but one of the several postmastership fights In the Second dis trict in which the old Baker-Burton feud1 Is more or less apparent that Bowersock will have to smooth over. Congressman Bowersock's choice in most cases may b anti-Burton men and it ia said that if he makes too many such appointments thnt Burton will see to their being turned down in the senate. It is thought that Richards has the promise of a pretty good congressional place at his disposal. WILL GET THE SWITCH.

The jailer has promised to clean out the lower dungeon and have it ready for the next attack of smasher's fever, but if Mrs. Nation is ever placed in th dungeon it would be sufficient justifi cation for a vigorous protest. It is one of the worst places imaginable with no light and unsufneient air. The man with but a single idea al ways has an exalted opinion of himself.

Charles M. Sheldon Talks of Chicago Conditions. Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, touch ing upon the conditions in Chicago in an address before the T. M. C. A. said: "No man can live a satisfied life un less he does his share toward making a better world. He must give not only his money and his thought, but he must give his time to it. I have been down In some of the dark places in this great city since I have been here. While there I asked a man who has given ten years of his life to work among those places how many intel ligent business men ever go down there. 'Very few' was the reply. 1 know peo ple in almost every city who own tene ment property in the larger cities, and who never go there to see how their tenants live. "They take the money and never In quire Into the suffering of the poor people in the hot days like this. They read about the little babies who are born there, coming into the world like potato sprouts coming up in the dark cellar, white and weak, but they never see them. There are hundreds of meni who can go to Europe every summer and who have fine homes, but who nev er seek out the shame and who never seek out the places of suffering and sin. "If every man In Chicago with wealth and political power would go and see the amusements provided at some of the saloons here and the results of them I can't believe he could be a sat isfied man until he had done his ahare toward making the city better." Sources of earthly happiness as class ified by Mr. Sheldon are: Peace with God, first of all; peace with man, next; sharing in the task of making the world better, and eternal faith in the future, with hopefulness and a belief that the world is growing better.

J., has just rendered a decision of vital importance in the case of the Centaur company against a party call ing themselves the C. W. Link Drug Co. It seems for the past year or more Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher, president of the Centaur Co., the manufacturers of Cas roria has been fighting through the courts counterfeiters and imitators of their goods. All the fake goods were put up in a manner to lead the purchaser to think they are getting the same Castoria. they have always bought The chancellor dwells at length on this point, showing how easy it would be to inform the public of ti tl iff -re nee between the packages if it were not their object to mislead the consumer. He says in part: "Every one of the packages put in evidence by the defendant shows the adoption of the size of the bottle and the label of the company. AH of those manufac turers know just as the defendants know that if the remedy was put up in round Potties distinctively larger or smaller; if the bottles were so differ ently wrapped so as to at once arrest the attention of the casual purchaser, the sale of the remedy in such pack ages would at once become substan tially reduced." Citing numerous cases in line with this one he gave Mr. Chas. H. Fletcher the injunction asked for and the C. W. Link Drug Co. must seek new fields. Hail Stones Weighed Throe Pounds. St. Petersburg.

Out of SI lots In the last tract for the site of the new Santa Fe shops, settle ments have been made with ail but eight of the owners of the property. Out or these eight there are five non-residents and only two live upon the property in volved. Mr. W. S. Bergundthal. acting for tse MISS LENNA BATHO SHORB' committee, has done a large amount of detailed work in connection with the set tlements. The Santa. Fe company needs the ground and has impressed upon the committee a number ot times that prompt possession is necessary. The committee has delayed final settlements as long as possible, hoping to avoid any condemna tion proceedings. Further delay is out of the question. Mr. Bergundthal has written letters to day to the eight owners who have not yet settled that the committee is compelled to close its negotiations and to immedi ately turn over to the Santa Fe company the list of the property that has not been secured. The company will at once bring condemnation proceedings. The following is a list of the property to be condemned: Carl Rahan. lot 6. Klein avenue. George Fritten. lot 3j. Klein avenue. Mrs. M. J. Hayes, lot IS. Klein avenue. K. B. Herman, lot 62 and north half of lot 5. Klein avenue. Andrew Baum, lot 60, Klein avenue. Golden Cunningham, lot 64, Kieia ave nue. A. V. Newbold, lots 1 and 3, Branner street. Adam Mader, agent, lot 15, Branner street. Five of the above named owners do not live in Topeka and a number of them have not been heard from. Letters sent to them repeatedly have remained un answered. Mr. Bergtindthal has done a big share of the committee's work and is entitled to much creditin connection with the settlements. The committee baa been anxious that the property ownef-s receive the full value of their properties, but in view of the trust imposed upon it cosiil not make settlements with a few people above named, whom the committee be lieve are unreasonable in their demands. Of The eight owners named it has been impossible to reacli or hear from several. These conditions make the condemnation of the few properties necessary. YELLOW FETES CASES.

JUDGE WEST'S OPINION He DeliTers It to Bank Commis sioner Albaugh. How John Breldenthal Was Hoist on His Own Petard. Judge West of the attorney general's of fice has given an opinion relative to trust companies, at the request of Bank Com missioner Albaugh. The opinion is that trust companies chartered under the laws of Kansas an now doing business can not continue with less than a capital of fliJO.-M), and that trust comoaraes organised under the laws of other states doing business In Kansas must have a capital of IHW.OOO and be gov erned by the trust company laws pajtsed by the laat legislature. The opinion further holds that trust companies organized under the laws of other states can not continue to do busi ness in Kansas unless they organize un der Kansas laws. Ex-Bank Commissioner Breldenthal was the father of the trust company law and It was through his efforts that the capftal was placed at the amount named. Imme diately after he left the office of bank commissioner Breidenthal started to or ganize a trust company. His own law de feated his ends. He has secured but J&X.

He has secured a charter for a. bank in Labette county with a capital or and he will go into the banking business if he fails to secure the thei necessary for his proposed trust company, and meanwhile he is acting as manager for the Hour trust- MAIL BOX BOBBERS.

A suit was com promised in Colorado Sunday by which the depositors of the defunct First Na tional bank will get nearly $2,000 more thari they would have got if William Martindale had won the suit. The suit was brought against Martindale to re cover a $4,000 note. Martindale claim ed It was not a part of his assets, that the depositors had no right to claim it. Battey, the trustee of the Martindale estate claimed the note for the deposi tors. He was represented by I. E. Lam bert. The suit was compromised; Mar tindale settled for $2,000 of which near ly all will go to the depositors. It was to get this $4,000 for the depositors that the depositions were recently made in .mporia concerning Martindale's gen eral reputation. If these depositions had not been made it is likely Martin dale would have won, the case and the depositors would not have the $2,000- that they now h;.ve. The depositors of the defunct bank are most active in signing petitions to the attorney gen eral asking that the criminal cases against Martindale be dismissed. The depositors are generous men and they bear no malice. Ill RECEIVERS' HANDS. Big Farwell Ranch In Texas Taken in Charge by Court. Fort Worth, Tex., July 24. The Cap ital Freehold Land Investment com pany, better known as the "Capital Syndicate company," whose property is estimated to be valued at between $8, 000,000 and $10,000,000, has passed into the hands of receivers.

Topeka Hospitals Rushed to Care For Patients. 31 ANT CASES KEPOIiTED Unusual Number Keep the Sur w geons Busy. Dr. L. H. Mann Discusses the Causes and Effect. Despite the fact that this year has been an. unusually healthful one here, and the number of deaths has been greatly decreased over the same period one year ago, the Topeka hospitals are almost taxed to their capacity. Stormont hospital since the new ad dition has been completed, has facili ties for the care of 35 patients, and if crowded by a little effort 40 patients may be cared for at one time. This is usually termed the dull sea son at the hospitals. However, so far this summer it has been far from dull for the practicing surgeons and nurses at the local institutions. In fact, the record this year is un precedented in the history of the local work. At Christ hospital, where facil ities are provided for the care of 50 patients, the doctors have been rushed from morning till night in caring for the patients. Xr. J. C. McClintock says that the last three months have been the busiest he has ever had. During the month of May he made S3 surgical operations, and during the month of June he made SI operations. During July the work has fallen off some, but there is still enough to keep him very busy. An astonishing fact is the large per centage of appendicitis cases which have come to the attention of the doc tors at the hospitals. At Christ hos pital about 30 cases have been treated this spring. At Stormont an approxi mate number have been treated. There are now six cases at Stormont of a sum total of ten for the month of July. "No one knows how old the disease of appendicitis is," said Dr. Munn, in talking over the situation today. "It was first begun to be known and treat ed as such in about 1SS5. People no doubt had appendicitis before that time, but the earlier doctors, having had no research and investigation along this line, called it inflammation of the bowels or some similar com plaint, and treated it as such, with of course the only logical result, death. "It was about this time that it was discovered for what it really is, and with each succeeding year the methods of treatment and the knowledge of the complaint have increased so that during the past, say, five years, the fatality fro-n appendicitis operations has been small. Speaking for myself, in all the cases I have had, the percentage of fatality has been about 5 per cent. This, of course, includes extreme cases which had been allowed to go too long before being brought to the attention of a doctor and which as such are sure to result fatally." Doctor Munn's theory of the disease is well worth knowing. He says: "In the early days of men, hundreds and perhaps "thousands of years ago, it is said, when the modern ways of pre paring food were not known, and the people lived on a coarser food, they had need for additional digestive or gans than we have, and it is believed that the little sack which causes all the trouble in appendicitis cases is the remnant of this digestive organ. As the needs for this organ are being done away with, nature is gradually dis pensing with the organ. "All the trouble originates from the secretion of foreign matter in this tube or sac. Very rarely is this foreign matter a grapeseed, so people should not be alarmed at eating grapes. Sta tistics show that less than one per cent of the cases of appendicitis grow from the grape seed. The usual case is where a sediment is deposited in the sac during the process of digestion and which afterwards irritates the tube and inflames it. "The symptoms of the disease are very marked and one who is afflicted may learn at once what is the matter. The first notice i3 pains in the loins or abdomen, eventually localizing In the right abdomen. This is followed with sweating and chills, and the pain be comes severe. At this stage the matter should be reported to a doctor. A diag nosis of the case may then be made which will furnish the doctor with In formation as to when the operation may best be performed. Various cases differ as to the length of time which should elapse before the operation. If it is allowed to run too long there is really no necessity for an operation for it would do no good. "If a person who is operated upon lives three days after the operation, we consider he will recover; and if he does nicely for five days, we count them as w-ell. It of course requires different lengths of time in the different cases for a complete recovery. "It is surprising how quickly the peo ple are learning the value of the hos pitals. How much better they may be treated at a hospital than at home. And take for instance the appendicitis cases. Tears ago there was a time when it was almost impossible to get the permission of a person for an ap pendicitis operation, they preferring to let it run along and end in death rather then to undergo the operation. But of late years the people have begun to learn the comparative small danger that is connected with the operations and submit readily. And there is prac tically no danger in an operation if it is made In good season." The local hospitals are fast gaining a reputation throughout the state and nearby states. A great many of the patients who are treated here arc brought from nearby cities and towns. ELKS CHOOSE OFFICERS. Al. G. Field is Given a Prominent Place in the List Milwaukee, July 24. The Grand Lodge of the Benevolent and Protective Order of PJiks completed the first day's session by electing officers as follows: Grand exalted ruler Charles E. Pick ett, Waterloo, Iowa. Grand esteemed leading knight A. G. Field, Columbus, O. Grand esteemed loyal knitrht Wil liam B. Brock, Lexington, Ky. Grand esteemed lecturing knight Judge A. H. Pickens. Denver. Col. Grand secretary Geo. A. Reynolds. Saginaw, Mich. Grand treasurer F. C. Orris. Mead- ville. Pa. Grand treasurer (Three year term) Henry W. Mears, Baltimore. Grand tyler Jos. Henning, Anderson, Ind. Aside from the election of officers the business of the first executive session consisted of the presentation of the re ports and the transaction of other rou tine business. Salt Lake has loomed up as a candi date for the next place of meeting against Baltimore and Saratoga Springs, but it is said that an eastern city will likely get the honor, and St. Louis and the south are quietly paving the way to bring the 1903 convention to the Missouri city during the exposi tion. The feature of the social side of the big gathering was the first big out door event, the magnificent parade of military and civic orders which passed through the principal streets. The pag ent was witnessed by many thousands of people. This was followed by the dedication of an Elks' fountain In Juneau park. It is estimated that 50, 000 strangers are in the city. FELL SIX STORIES Woman Tumbles Out of Window and Is Killed. Chicago, July 24. Early today a young woman, supposed to be Mrs. B. Degraffc of Lacrosse, Wis., fell from a window on the sixth floor of the Morrison hotel and died an hour later at the county hospital. She would have been instantly killed on the stone sidewalk only that she struck an awning which broke her fall. Het limbs were fractured and she was also hurt Internally. Nothing is known of the woman's iden tity further than the name on the regis ter. Twenty minutes before the woman fell from the window she entered the hotel and was taken to her room. It is thought she sat on the window sill to gcet the air and lost her balance or fell asleep. INJUNCTION BUORS. They Are Beginning to Disturb the Steel Strike Situation. Pittsburg, Pa., July 24. The status of the strike this morning remains un changed except for the rumors of in tended injunction proceedings and of efforts being made by disinterested parties to bring the leaders of the two contending forces together with a view of bringing the conflict to a termina tion by a compromise of some sort. Veryl Preston, former president of the American Steel Hoop company and John Warner of the Carnegie Steel company are in the city and their visit seems to have given rise to the suppo sition that they have come here to dis cuss this question with officials of the Amalgamated association. Reports were in circulation that a conference was held last night, as President Shaffer and Secretary Wil liams of the Amalgamated association were seen on the streets down town at an early hour this morning. When seen today both vigorously de nied that there had been a conference of any kind. Preston and Warner could not be located. So far nothing has been done in the matter of the proposed injunction proceedings against the strikers, but it is understood that the papers are being prepared and that the attorneys will offer them in the federal courts within a day or two. At the local headquarters of the Amalgamated association the officials appear to be still pursuing the policy of watching and waiting. When asked when they were going to call out all the Amalgamated men in the different mills of the corporation.it was said that the time had not yet come for that. Matters remain quiet about the De-wees-Wood plant at MeKeesport. The mill property was encircled by strikers all night guarding against the intro duction of non-union men, but the pickets were withdrawn today, the strikers believing that no immediate attempt would be made to operate the works. They are still on the alert, however, and say they will not be caught napping. Two non-union men succeeded in eluding the watchers at Wellsville last night, and the working force was increased that many today. Everything was quiet about the town. Locally rumors are being persistent ly circulated of attempts to be made at Painter's, Lindsay McCutcheon and Clark's to resume operations shortly. The reports are to the effect that Painter's and Clark's mills are to be started with men from the upper mills of Carnegie's and that an agent of the Lindsay McCutcheon plant Is down south trying to secure men. At Clark's mill the strikers were surprised toaay to nna a detail of ten policemen guarding the property. An iron fence separating the Clark plant from the Carnegie upper mill has been torn down .and if is said workmen from the Carnegie plant will be quietly transferred to the Clark mill. The strikers are expecting serious develop ments are all are preparing themselves for emergencies. TOM UISKEI'S STORY. How WaKeeney Discovered a Cold Draft Mine. j The following comes direct from Wa Keeney and Thomas Hiskey, who was formerly a clerk in the office of the secretary of state: The Ladies' Aid society have been trying to put down a well in the ceme tery but struck what they supposed was shale and abandoned the well.. On Tuesday of last week, two boys, Frank Joslin and Cale Larimer, while out hunting, found one section of the drill where the diggers had left It near the well and like devilish boys dropped it in the abandoned well. The rock that stopped the drilling gave way, the shaft dropped by the boys apparently des cended hundreds of feet: almost at the same instant an exceedingly cool air came from the hole and it was not an hour till it was materially cooler all over the town. The thermometer con tinued to go down till Wednesday noon w hen it was SO degrees, where it has re mained. The cause of the lower temperature was discovered Thursday by Chris topher Giese and Boston Goss who were viewing the cemetery, noticed the cool atmosphere and heard the sound of escaping air. On going to the well they found quite a strong current. Throwing an envelope over the hole it was carried about 20 feet high. They came back to town and taking Prof. Gordon with them returned and placing a thermometer over the well it fell to 62 degrees where it remained. Pensions For Kansans. Washington, July 24.

Sweet, wife of T. B. Sweet, against the board of county commissioners for the re covery of the taxes on Chesney Park, amounting to $1,500, was decided in favor of Mrs. Sweet by Judge Hazen today. Chesney Park is situated be tween Buchanan and Lincoln streets, eouth of Eighteenth street. It was originally platted as a park, but later was claimed by the original owners, Martin Dennis.. After several years it was sold for taxes and Mrs. Sweet bought it in. Then the city brought suit for the recovery of the property as a park and won. Mrs. Sweet therefore lost the amount of taxes she had paid on the block, which was Jl.boO. She tnen brought suit to recover from the county which resulted in a judgment for the entire amount.

SIX OFFER CUTICLE. Response to Appeal to Aid Wreck Victims. Kansas City, July 24. Dr. M. W. Pickard Is in receipt of a half dozen offers of persons who volunteer to fur nish skin to graft on the wounds of Miss Hayslip and Miss Harry, two of the Epworth League delegates who were in the Chicago Alton wreck. A mystery attaches to one offer. Yes terday Dr. Pickard received a letter from a woman confined in the county jail offering herself for the painful service. The woman said she was young and healthy and that she want ed to be of service. She said she had had enough of notoriety and begged Dr. Pickard to keep her name ajsecret. There are five young white women con fined in the county jail, including Mrs. Lulu Prince Kennedy. All of them deny having sent the letter. Norman A. Rigg, a Methodist preach er at Mount Sterling, 111., offered to sacrifice himself in a letter received by Dr. Pickard this morning. He makes a condition to the effect that the Chi cago Alton railroad furnish him transportation, and that he be not de tained from his congregation on Sun day. IT ISN'T TRUE. Gerry E. Casebier's Friends Had Fun With Him. The report became current Friday that Gerry E. Casebier, a local poet, had gone to Peoria, 111., to marry the daughter ot the first vice president of the Chicago, Kurlington Quincy railroad. This re port was denied this morning- by Mr. Casebier, who has just returned from a trip east. "No," he said to a State Journal re porter, I have never thought of being married. My trip was to Quincv. 111., and was purely a business trip. I can not ac count for the manner the report got out unless it was through some of the boys at the boardiner house. Last ,riday when I was getting ready to go one of the boy happened into my room and began asking ouestions. I eruess he drew uuon his im agination somewhat, and the next day ho a-sitea my orotner it l was going east to be married. My brother replied that a didn't know, and in a joking manner said that it would be just like me to run of? and do some such thing. As a matter of fact there is nothing in the report. 1 have been jollied consideraWe about it, but have haTl no such thoughts." FOUR KANSANS NAMED. Young Soldiers Who Will Have TJ. S. Commissions. The last list of appointments In the regular army contains the names of four veterans of the Twentieth Kan sas. D. F. Craig, of Garnett, who was a captain in the Kansas regiment and afterwards captain in the Thirty-sixth infantry, was appointed lieutenant of artillery. B. H. Kerfoot, of Kansas City, was a second lieutenant in the Twentieth Kansas; he was appointed a second lieutenant of artillery. Collin H. Ball, of Sedan, was a second lieu tenant in the Twentieth Kansas: he was appointed second lieutenant of In fantry. E. H. Agnew. of Minneapolis, was a first'lieutenant in the Twentieth, afterwards captain in the Eleventh cavalry, and has now been appointed second lieutenant of infantry. NEED A PEST HOI SE. Board of Health Looking For a BTew Location. At the meeting of the board of health last night City Physician Judd was instructed to look for a location for a new pest house. The city will build a permanent pest house as scon as a lo cation can be secured. "The pest house at the fair grounds," said Dr. Judd, "is only a temporary affair, and we will soon have to get out of there. Besides, it is not suited for use as a hospital. It is constructed of rough boards, without proper sanitary arrangements. It is not plastered or fixed up as such a place should be. I have not yet tried to find any location for the pest house, and Imagine it will take some time to do so." EXCITING RUNAWAY. Two Young Women Saved by Bubber Tires. The horse being driven by Mrs. Elmer Barnes who lives at No. 1227 Western avenue and Miss Nellie Phillips who lives at No. 1305 West street ran away last evening, starting west on Tenth avenue from Kansas avenue. Neither of the ladies was injured although the horse ran the carriage into the curbing at Topeka avenue and fell. At Topeka avenue the horse veered off and ran straight against the curb ing on the west side of the street. The horse stumbled over the curbing and fell and th buggy ran up over him. It is here that a practical illustration of one of the advantages of rubber tires is shown. As the carriage struck the curb the force of the shock was lessen ed by the rubber tires and the carriagp bounded back. The horse was so badly injured it will have to be killed. SAY KURD IS MISTAKEN. Millers Hare Always Had Fire Cent Differential Rate. The Topeka millers do not agree with the reply of the Santa Fe before the railroad commissioners in regard to the Topeka differential rate being abol ished. A. A. Hurd, for the Santa Fe, stated that the Topeka differential rate of 5 cents was granted at the same time with a Kansas City differential rate and that when the Kansas City rate' was abolished tha t the Topeka rate was also abolished. J. P. Griswold, of the Shawnee mills, does not agree with the railroad company's statement. "We have had the rate for 25 years," said Mr. Griswold. "It was five cents less than Kansas City and now it has been changed to within a half cent of Kan sas City. The Kansas City rate has nothing to do with that we have had for 25 years. It should be governed by the distance tarnf. TODAY'S MAIiKET REPORT Chicago. July 24.

WHEAT Wheat swung into prominence this morning b reason of a strong bull movement which sent prices l4c hitrher at New Turk anci 24.C up in the northwest. where the weatii is still unfavorable, being too hot. The most conspicuous feature, however, was heavy buying for European account, tot lowing adverse crop reports from Russia and lYanee. Towards noon, however, corn broke sharply on rain news and wheat followed, dropping from 77 ll-ltcto 7tj;;4ft for September. CORN Corn opened active at lc. ad vance on dry weather, but subsequently turned weak and lost it by midday. New York Stocks New York. July 21. Wall Street Specu lative Wail street had some misgivings this morning over yesterday's optimistic views of the relief to the corn crop and the grangers and Pacifies were" sol(t freely.

Grain and Stock Co., Kansas City, Alo. New York, July 24. It Is evident frorrt the conditions of (he stock market yester day that Wall street is beginning to re cover a more reasonable frame mind with regard to the crop deterioration pro, duced by the recent prolonged drouth Jit the west. The severe declines In prices of pecurl. ties which have taken place under the in fluence of the crop scare have been im moderate as almost all sudden specula tive movements are. A great deal of the damage which it has been claimed has resulted In parts ot the western agricultural regions from high temperature and the nbsenre ot the usual moisture may be admitted without warranting the conclusion that the people of the west are contented with any pros tration of business or that the railroad are to lose any serious amount of tonnage or earnings. The agricultural community has in re cent years en.ioyed so exceptional prosper ity that there is an immense reserve of actual wealth in its possession. Any stud- of the statistics of the grain trade of th last decade will show that an increjise in the farm values of various products whih generally attend crop shortage often off sets as regards the total money receipt of the country a loss in the bulk of the commodities sold.

New York. July 24. Regarding the cable messages from London that Prof. Kock of Berlin has made the state ment that he has demonstrated that meal and milk from cattle infected by tuberculosis might be consumed with impunity. Dr. William T. Jenkins, health commissioner, paid last night that Prof. Koch's statement upset all the theories of the health department regarding the destruction of the dis eased cattle. "We have recognized the fact," said Commissioner Jenkins, "that meat can be used from tuberculosis cattle, and instead of destroying the whole carcass as was formerly done, parts of it may be used. Cooking will destroy any germs. We have had an idea that milk was a conveyor of the disease, and still hold to that theory. Whatever Prof. Koch says I would be inclined to believe, but I would like to see his en tire article on the subject." Dr. F. M. Jeffries, director of the laboratory of the New Tork Polyclinic, said the natural assumption has been that the bacillus causing tuberculosis in cattle would likewise cause tuber culosis in man and. accordingly, great efforts had been put forth to contend with the presumed infection from cat tle by meat and milk. Dr. Jeffries" impression was that Koch himself asserted that tubercu losis could be produced in man from infected meat or milk. "Personally," the doctor went on, "I am not ir"?!ined to make much out of this statement of Dr. Koch. Of course, if it can be thoroughly demonstrated that tubercular material in meat and milk is incapable of producing tuber culosis in man it will greatly reduce the amount of work to be done in our efforts to do away with tuberculosis in man. Koch said he could cure con sumption with his lymph, and we take this statement of his with a grain 0f salt." STATE HOUSE NOTES. Governor Stanley Honors Requisition For Clarence Wilson. Gov.

Thi3 includes every thing ready to begin work, with the ex ception of the cost of the ground on which the plant will be built. They al so gave me the cost of making ice with each capacity plant, computing the price of coal at $2.25 per ton. "I will show these figures and their statement to anyone who is Interested. According to their statements I can guarantee to make and deliver Ice, if we get the plant into operation in 25 pound deliveries at the rate of 20 cents per hundred pounds. "You can figure the difference be tween 20 and 45 cents, the present price of ice on 25 pound deliveries, from May 15 to October 15. It will be a sav ing of nine dollars and thirty-seven cents. "A share of stock will cost ten dol lars. Then the actual cost of one share at the end of the season would be 63 cents. The surplus ice may be sold to those outside the concern at an estab lished rate and thereby the sharehold ers will derive a dividend from their stock." Subscription lists are out In a dozen different places. Those who do not want their names to appear on the subscription list may obviate this by addressing a letter to Mr. Langdon at 1035 Tyler street, signifying the number of shares wanted. A great many prominent men have already signed the subscription list under these conditions. "No one man or clique," said Mr. Langdon, "will ever gain control of the stock or manipulate it to their advan tage. This is intended to benefit the many and not the few." H'NEELEY MAT QUIT. Another Independent Ice Man Grow ing Discouraged. It now begins to look as though the Peoples Ice company will acquire the whole retail and wholesale ice trade here, at least for the remainder of the summer, and will be in a position to demand whatever prices the company wills for ice. The McNeeley Ice company which has been in business at the mercy of the trust may be forced to give up. Mr. McNeeley said today: "I am trying today to make arrangements with some parties who are going to erect an ice plant here, and if I can make arrange ments to be supplied next season I will conduct my business during the re mainder of the summer at a loss, so aa to not lose my customers. "I am about discouraged In the mat ter, however. I am convinced that it ia a freeze out game of the ice trust and I have no assurance that the wholesale price of ice will not be raised to me again. If it is, then I'm gone without another word. can't afford to sell ice now: all that I deliver Is at a loss. "And here lately the ice company has been shoving considerable natural ice off on me and my loss on this kind of ice is enormous owing to the irregu lar shapes it comes in. I am forced to trim this down at a loss. "I have about 400 customers. I run two wagons, one west of Kansas ave nue to Potwin and one east of the av enue to the cemetery. I hate to give up my customers but I begin to feel that I will be forced to." Winslow Raney are refunmng i'ae money for coupon books held by their customers today. "We will be out of the business the remainder of the sea son," said Mr. P.aney. "But we hope to Interest some parties to build a plant here to supply us, and I am confident that we can take all our trade back again next year. Even if we cannot Interest some one to build an ice plant, we will build additional ice house room here and store natural ice and will be able to take care of a part of our trade next year. "People have an erroneous Impres sion of the ice situation here," Mr. Ra ney declared this morning. "Mr. Dick ey is not the king bee in the ice trust business. He is in reality about the same as a hired man at the office of the Peoples Ice company. He takes his orders from the Moesers. "Each of the ice makers who are in the deal have arrangements whereby they withdraw their proportionate earnings, and Mr. Aloeser owns the largest interest and consequently rules in all matters. I am convinced that we were frozen out. We are out at least. These things would not be so if Mr. Moeser and Mr. Wolff and the oth ers who are into the Peonies Ice com pany chose to make it different." They say that he's as green as grass. And that, of course, explains That like the grass he falls, alas! To come in when it rains. KOKTH TOPEKA.

Flick, former Dresident of the Penn sylvania Society for the Prevention of Tuberculosis and president of the b ree Hospital for Poor Consumptives, wnen asked for his views on the subject of tuberculosis, said: "The greatest benefit that will accrue from Dr. Koch's demonstration, if he has demonstrated what has been an nounced. will be the direction of pre ventive measures along the right chan nels. The government of this country has expended energy for the extermi nation of tuberculosis among cattle with a view of preventing the spread of the disease in human beings, but has done very little toward preventing the spread of the disease from one human being to another. "With a clear demonstration that the disease can not spread from animals to human beings, it is likely that the government's efforts will be turned into the channels of providing sanita rium treatment for the consumptive poor, which will strike at the very root of the evil by preventing contact oe tween those ill with tuberculosis and their healthy relatives."

A NEW TITLE Has Been Conferred Upon Command er of the Presidio, San Francisco, July 24. The govern ment has determined to make vast im provements In the fortifications around the harbor of San Francisco. To that end the present commander at the Presidio, Colonel llawles, has been given a new title, which gives him jurisdiction over all fortifications pro tecting this city. He is now com mander of the district of San Fran cisco. Among his assistants will be Captain E. A. Millar, who is to be known as district adjutant. The hills on both sides of the Golden Gate are to be mounted with more of the heav iest and most approved ordnance. In speaking of the contemplated work Colonel Rawles said: "We will place on all eligible emi nences the latest improved ordnance. The number, together with those al ready mounted, will approximate 100, I should judge. Many rapid tiring puns are to be placed, and the submarine mining of the bay and its approaches will hereafter be under the supervision of the artillery instead, as formerly. under the engineer corps. Much work Is ahead of us. but our growing trade with the Orient and outside world has made It Imperative that San Fran. Cisco should be protected with the latest improved defenses."

Strong opposition to the ship canal project was expressed at a meeting yesterday of the sub executive committee of the Greater New York Canal association and the canal committee of the exchange. The purpose of the conference was to con sider the report of the deep waterway commission on the ship canal propo sition. After a prolonged discussion of the subject it was unanimously decided to continue the campaign for the im provement of the state waterways by the state along the lines already mapped out. According to the state ment of the chairman of the meeting, Mr. Henry B. Herbert, the senti.-nent of the conference was unanimously against the ship canal proposition. Principal among the reasons for this opposition, Mr. Herbert said, was the feeling amounting almost to a cer tainty that New York would never abandon her canals, or in other words, turn them over to the national govern ment, as would be required according to the commission's report before the government would undertake the con struction of a ship canal. Mr. Herbert said that serious doubts were entertained as to whether the deep waterway proposition could be carried out. miflER LOSES HIS LIFE. Wm. Walker Victim of a Mine and Official lied Tape. Wm.

Niek Chiles Is Before the Bar of Justice. He Is ConTicted of Maintaining a Nuisance. HE APPEALS AT ONCE. Strange Observations Made by a City Spotter. Events of a Bay With Topeka Peace Guardians. The case of Nicholas Chiles was the main attraction in, Tuesday's session of police court. It was extremely inter esting to the gallery gods. Expert tes timony was introduced on both sides. Mr. Brenard, the city detective, swore that he had on one occasion surrepti tiously entered the "'McKinley" club by way of the cellar window, conceal ed his person in a pile of rubbish in How the Spotter Got Into the Chiles Joint. one corner of the club room where he remained four hours, viewing with great interest the doings of Mr. Chiles and his friends. He saw St. Nicholas dispense many cooling draughts at so much per dispense, and take collateral compensation for the same. He be came greatly interested in a friendly game of craps which was in, progress in another part of the basement. After the supply of refreshments had vanish ed and the electric lights burned dim, the party of revellers dispersed and the editor of the Great Plaindealer took his coat and his departure. Then, in the small hours of the stilly night, the great impersonator of Old King Brady crept from his retreat, and made a neat exit by .the rear window. After a rigid examination by Attor ney Reed, in which the detective stuck to his trail, the witnesses for the de fense were put on the stand. One of them was the secretary and the other the president of the great McKinley club. They testified that the club was a legitimate institution, with minutes and by-laws. They testified to the gen eral character of the place. Then, like ships that pass in the night, they drifted apart, and their testimony did not agree alarmingly. Among the pro miscuous assertions of the noble presi dent, was a section pertaining to the character of the keg parties held by the club. He said that the committee on ways and means were in the habit of drawing the required amount from the treasury and appointing a commit tee of one to purchase and deliver the keg at headquarters. This corrobora ted the testimony of Mr. Brenard, who said he had seen Mr. Chiles deliver a -J HANNA AWAITS BIG BILL. Son of Mark Fears Mrs. Hanna Will as Last Year, Send Him $8,000 Claim For "Children's Education Abroad." Latest Photograpli of Mrs. Hanna and Dsr Children. Now that Mrs. Mary Harrington Hanna has reached Europe in safety with her three children, her husband, Daniel Rhodes Hanna, son of the Senator, is fearful that he will be asked to foot a big bill for "children's education abroad." Last year when Mrs. Hauua went to Europe tlie unfortuuant husband was requested to pay 8,000 for the game alleged purpose. kig to himself, receiving the same. The president also stated that the rear win dow by which the spotter escaped was a myth and existed only in the vivid imagination of the said spotter. He agreed with the defense that the testi mony of the detective was a series of vivid fish stories. After the thing had been properly sifted for something like three hours, Mr. William Marino, who is not a sheep notwithstanding his name, the alleged bartender of the institution, was discharged without the customary week's notice. Then the attorneys for the defense made bold to assert that Mr. Chiles was also innocent and should be discharged accordingly. This brought Prosecuting Attorney frmy to a perpendicular position in short order. "What, Nick Chiles not guilty? Preposterous! Think of it'.! Did not Detective Brenard see him in the act? Certainly! and my friend Mr Reed has the nerve to suggest that ha is not guilty!" After Mr. Urmy's flow of eloquence had gradually subsided, his friend, Mr. Reed, took up the subject and did jus tice to the occasion. "It seems to me like began the court. This is the usual signal for the defense to com mence filling out an appeal bond. "Hizzoner" has a different prelude which he uses in cases of possible ac quittal. The attorneys know this and act accordingly. Mr. Chiles was then found guilty on a nuisance count, and his fine assessed at $100 and 30 days of enforced idleness and the appeal bond saved the political boss from being locked up which no doubt would have greatly wounded Mr. Godard, attorney general, who has testified to Nick's good citizenship. Recently a gentleman who deals In baths, but who refused to give his name, was relieved of some 16 shekels by a party designated as oJhn Doe. The loser in the game approached a policeman in a confidential manner and offered an alluring reward in the shape of 6 bona fide bath tickets to the party who would recover his cash, and also deliver the offender at his establish ment on steenth street. He probably wanted to punish him by the cold bath process.

Governor Stanley will make but one appointment for a county office and will have the supreme court decide the dis puted points before he makes other ap pointments. Under the new biennial election law it is supposed that the governor shall appoint county treasurers and sheriffs to fill the vacancy from the time the regular two years' term expires until the. next election is held and a man elected. There is some question whether the governor has this right. No vacan cies will occur until January and then the governor will make one appoint ment where he may expect a suit to follow, in the supreme court to test the law. The case will be advanced on the supreme court docket and hurried through and no other appointments will follow until the matter is settled as to whether the governor shall ap point or the present officers hold over. Hit i I ITE COLIES BACK Topeka Lawyer Sues Kansas Mutual For $70,000. Claims That Company Libeled Him in Answer. RESENTS THE CHARGES Says Statement That He Want ed 1,000 Is False. Outgrowth of the Action of E. T. Phillips Brought by Uite. Attorney D. R. Hite has filed in the district court of Shawnee county a libel suit for $70,000 damages against the officers of the Kansas Mutual Life In surance company. The cause for this action is the allegations made in an answer to a suit filed in the United States circuit court here against the Kansas Mutual by Keeler. Hite Sherman, who represent E. T. Phillips, of Kansas City. The answer that was filed by R. T. Herrick, attorney for the insurance company, alleges that Mr. Hite made an offer to the insurance company that for the fee of $1,000 he would drop the suit filed on behalf of Phillips. Thi3 charge and the statement in the answer that Mr. Hite "acted in an un professional manner," Mr. Hite de clares, was made with only malicious intentions, and had no bearing upon the suit. In consequence Mr. Hite be lieves he is entitled to damages .to the amount of $70,000. The suit was begun a month ago when Keeler, Hite Sherman, repre senting E. T. Phillips, of Kansas City, Mo., filed a suit in the United States circuit court here asking for an in junction against the officers of the Kansas Mutual company from with drawing any money from the funds of the company pending the investiga tion of the charges made in the suit. It was charged that the officers of the company had been withdrawing secret earnings, and asked that the "court take and temporarily administer the trust now being mismanaged by said defendants, and that upon the final decree the said defendants be decreed to pay over to the corporation the sum of $75,000, the amount which they have unlawfully withdrawn from its rev enues." The suit also charged that the de fendants to the suit, Davis and Moon, were issuing in behalf of the company contracts of life insurance "which un der the laws of the state of Kansas said corporation has no legal author ity to make." The petition also in cluded a list of interrogatories to which it was asked the defendants be made to make truthful answer to the court. On July 15 R. T. Herrick filed the answer to the petition. On account of the allegations in the answer Mr. Hite commenced the libel suit. The answer was accompanied with a motion to ex clude Mr. Hite from the suit. In his libel suit petition Mr. Hite character izes all the charges against him as irrelevant and malicious. The libel suit is brought on seven causes of action, for each of which $10, 000 damages is asked. Three of the causes are the affidavits filed by Her rick, Davis and Moon stating that Hite proposed to them through his repre sentative, James A. Troutman, that as he had been offered $1,000 by the plain tiff to. represent him in the case, he should be given an equal amount if he withdrew from the case, as it "would be brought by no one else." One com plaint is against the corporation of which Davis and Moon are at the head, for the publication in the daily papers of the facts and contents of the an swer. This is the largest damage suit that has been filed In the district court for a long time. MODEL.
