Appears to Be Encourasins For the Strikers. Many Mills Are Completely Tied Up and Others Crippled. Chicago, Aug. IS. The steel workers in the mill at South Chicago will be asked to reconsider their action in re fusing to comply with the order of President Shutter to strike. Information ha? been received from Pittsburg that the supreme officer of the Amalgamated association has dis patched Assistant Secretary M. F. Tighe west in an attempt to get the Ideral Steel company's men here to follow the example of their eastern co workers. Mr. Tighe is well acquainted with many of the representative mem bers of the lodges here and for this teason was chosen by President Shaffer for the mission. He will arrive in Chi cago this afternoon, and his orders are to Feek audiences with the officers of Lakeside lodge No. 9 and Commercial lodge No. 14 at once, and arrange for meetings where the subject again will be gone into detail. W. C. Davis, the district vice presi dent, who resigned a few days ago. be fore the strike 01 der went into effect has gone to Joliet to consult with the lodges there, which have not yet an nounced wtiether they will strike or not. SITUATION IN GENERAL. Pittsburg. Aug. 13. The strike situa tion early today is briefly summarized as follows: Lindsay MeCutcheon plant of American Steel Hoop company The fires all lighted and the management declares that the plant wiil soon be in full operation. The strikers assert that the works may continue to run with a. small force. The strikers' pickets are keeping close watch on the mills and sav that but a few men are inside. Crowds are about, but all is orderly and most of those present seem to be drawn there mainly through curiosity. Republic Iron works No effort is be ing made to start the mill. While the Amalgamated pickets are on duty a;l about they say they are quite assured that no effort will be made to start un der present circumstances. There is r.o excitement and the pickets, 30 or 35 in liumuer aie miiij'iv pei onus assigned duty of watching, without ex pectation of "having any one attempt to enter or work in the mill. Kiha Iron works Strikers' pickets to I the number of 25 are on duty on Sec ond avenue and the streets around the Frankstown mills. One watchman on duty for the company says he knows nothing of any attempt to start and no men are expected to go to work today. The fires in the furnaces are banked. Only one policeman is in the vicinity and everything is so quiet that but for the presence of the pickets no one would suspect that there is a strike on. Painters mill Pires were lighted this morning. but no man appeared to work. It was expected this plant would try resumption. Police alone guard. Ev erything quiet. McKeesport. National Tube works Work has been much delayed by the striking of 250 boys in the butt-we!d department, wno quit at midnight Put all the men are at work. The lap-weld boys have not quit as expected, though they still threaten to do so.

Game of Bluff Between Steel Mana gers and Strikers. Pittsburg. Aug. 13. Complete returns from ail the strike centers have m,t been received today but as far as they go they indicate that there has been but slight change in conditions since yesterday. During the night the strik ers made further gains from the Na tional Tube company at McKeetiort and seem to have strengthened thei position at Wheeling. The Reliaire plant was closed last night, but a de termined attempt will be made to op erate It today. The strikers are watch ing the piant and boast that they have it tied up and are in a position to keep it so. Preparations are being made here to increase the number of men in the Lindsay MeCutcheon mills which have been operating with one non union crew since last week and also to start the big Painter mill, which has been idle since the first order to strike went out. The p-olice here have shown that they will make a determined at tempt to prevent violence or disorder and the steel managers regard this as a favorable point to break into the strike with non-union men. It is apparent that no plans have yet been formed for attempts at resumption at McKeesport or Wheeling and it is believed that the companies whose plants are either partly or completely crippled will wait until the excitement at those two points has subsided. The American Tin Plate company is moving to secure resumption at some of its plants and the otheials here feel sure that they will succeed. Mayor R. L. Boyanton ,of Niles has issued a statement in which he says that the stories of attempts on the lives of the Lisbon tin workers yesterday were ex aggerated. Steel officials seen here to day express their complete satisfaction with the progress they are making. They say if they could get protection for their men and property at McKees port and Wheeling that the strike would be quickly ended. They deny that the Amalgamated association has gained any ground at the Pittsburg plants of the Carnegie company and insist that the group of big plants shown to be with them on the general call are still standing firm. Assistant Secretary Tighe was miss ing from the staff of duty at strike headquarters today and rumor sent him to half a dozen places. President Shaf fer would not say where he was. One story was that he had gone to Chicago and another that he was at Newcastle from whence come reports of a possible break in the Amalgamated forces. President Shaffer said: "I am satisfied with the situation. I have received no reports from Chicago and the west. 1 will leave at ft:20 to morrow morning for Wheeling and Rev. Kitzwilliam and Ben Davis are to go there with me. I do not know when I will return from Wheeling." SAVED BY HER SON. Mrs. Jacob Tolkert Owes Her Life to Eleven-Year-Old Boy Mrs. Jacob Volkert, who lives in Sea- brook, west of Washburn college, was very badly burned in a gasoline ex plosion Monday morning. Her arms. neck, breast and face were burned to a blister, and most of the hair was burn ed off her head, but it is thought she will recover. Mrs. Volkert was starting to clean some clothes when the accident occurr ed. She poured some gasoline into a tub which she had standing on the stove. The result was that the gaso line took tire, and Mrs. Volkert tried in vain to extinguish the fire which caught her clothing. Her 11 year old boy Willie rushed into the room, and succeeded in getting his mother out doors, w here he tore her clothes off. and extinguished the flames. Meantime the neighbors had discov ered that something was wroi;g, and came in time to help the son extiulsh the fire in the kitchen, which was gain ing considerable headway and would have destroyed the house had it not been promptly checked. MISS MORRISON'S W ORK. Puts in Her Time Slaking Fancy Work For Sale. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 13. A special to the Star from El Dorado says: Ed C. Ellet. of this city, chairman of the pen itentiary board of directors. has just re turned from Lansing and while he was there had a long talk with Jessie Mor rison, who is serving a sentence for the killing of Mrs. Olin Castle. Mr. Eilet says visitors at the penitentiary ask nearly every day to see Miss Morrison, but all are refused. He says she is no trouble at all to the officials and is a model prisoner; that she is enjoying good health and looks -well. He further says Miss Morrison is not running a sewing machine making garments for men convicts, but puts her time in making fancy work, being an expert. The fancy work is placed on sale at the penitentiary and brings handsome prices by those who warn souvenirs. Miss Morrison told Mr. Ellet that she expected to be granted a new trial by the supreme court and will be released on bond soon. She believes she will lie acquitted should she have another trial. PEST HOUSE SAVED. Smallpox Patient Fought the Fire Successfully. There came near to be a premature conflagration at the pest i.ouse Monday afternoon. Only by rapid work on the part of the one remaining patient, Joe Ruckner, assisted by Superintendent Gruhn, was the fire extinguished. At about 3 o'clock in the afternoon Ruckner discovered the roof of the hack kitchen was afire and blazing briskly. He notified Mr. Gruhn. and the two men, as Mr. Buckner is not sick any longer, but is only waiting for his "'time limit" to expire, went to work to put out the blaze, which thry did without outside assistance. The roof of the shed was damaged consid erably. It is thought that the fire originated from soot falling on the rcof from the chimney. Buckner. who discovered the fire, thought that he ought to be released at once from the pest house as a reward for his services, but the city physiciatr ooulcln't see it that way, and Buckner is wrill confined. THEY MADE DOLLARS. That ia the Charge Against John Means and Charles Williams. John Means and Charles Wiiliams.the counterfeiters who were arrested at Wilson. Jewell county, recently were taken to Leavenworth last evening.The young men are charged with passing a counterfeit dollar on Katy Green at Montrose and evidence is sufficient it is believed of convicting them of doing a big counterfeit business. They will have a preliminary hearing before Uni ted States Commissioner Bond tomorrow. HE THINKS NOT. Got. Stanley Says Woman's Suf frage Doesn't Affect Homes. Women Do Not Neglect Domes tic Duties to Tote. SO FEMININE PARTY. He Thinks There is No Ten dency to Form One. Women Are Sometimes' Influ enced by Their Ministers. Governor Stanley today gave his views on" female suffrage to Prof. Fernand Deschamps, the Belgian who is picking up the results of the sys tem in Kansas, and will go later to Idaho, Colorado. Wyoming and Mon tana. In preface he says he is not well posted on the'subjectnor has he given especial attention to looking it up. "I think not." says the governor to the most frequently asked questions of "Has female suffrage any ill effects upon domestic life? Cause quarrels'.' Does a husband bring pressure on wife to influence her vote?" Stanley declares also that female electors do not neglect their domestic duties or children, except in extreme instances. He says- further that few women be long to political clubs, few register. He has no means of knowing who vote3 most of the married, unmarried or widowed worn ?n. Not many women vote in general, he answers; and says "I have no knowledge on this subject 'Ahe women open to political corrup tion?' "The laws of Kansas accord large rights to married women. They are not seeking to obtain judicial reforms with reference to domestic life, dis posal of property, etc.," writes the gov ernor. "Women speak at meetings, and Chere are no protests from their husbands that I am aware of. "There are no dissensions In the household in order to make children vote one way oranother. Married wo men generally vote in harmony with their husbands, but not always. "I think those voting vote with a view to the common interest of their sex. but there is no tendency to form a 'feminine party.' Pure motives gen erally influence women's votes. I think they consider the qualities of the can didate, as a rule, taking into account talent, character, incorruptibility. In a measure just like men, allowing them selves to be influenced by local con siderations. "Religion has very little to do with politics," observes the governor. "In a measure women, on social and moral questions allow themselves to be in fluenced by advice of their ministers, however. "Women prefer temperance and suf frage measures; they do not take any great part in the discussion of labor questions. "In presidential elections they are generally interested in the success of the best candidate." WRECK AT PRYOR CREEK Katy Passenger Train Mail Car Split the Switch. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 13. A special to the Star from Parsons, Kan., says: Missouri, Kansas Texas northbound passenger train No. 4, due in Kansas City at 5 o'clock this evening, was wrecked at Pfyor Creek, I. T., this morning. No one is reported hurt. The front truck of the mail car split the switch and was ditched, taking the baggage car and the smoker with it. JULY WAS EXPENSIVE. Net Cost of Maintaining Penitentiary Was Nearly $22,000. Por the month of July the expendi tures for maintenance of the Kansas state penitentiary at Lansing were $24, 0SJ.00. Cash receipts were $2,309.76. so that the cash expenses amounted to $11,772.24. The expenses of the state deaf and dumb school at Olathe were for care and maintenance $1,740.46; salaries $540.75; total $2,281.21. THEY ALL GO TO Judge Lindsay "I would not from each of these.' ANOTHER NEW RAILROAD. It Will Extend From Pittsburg to Galena. A charter was issued today by the state charter board to the Kansas, Missouri Southeastern Railroad com pany. It is for a road to be built from Pittsburg to a point on the state line 3 miles east of Galena. The total length of the road in Kansas is 27 miles and its capital is $10,000. The incorporators and directors are Richard Nevins, Jr., Geo. W. Layne, S. J. McKee, A. H. Waite, G. Barbee and A. H. Rogers of Joplin, Mo. J. Shomon, John McCullagh, W. A. Potter, Galena, Mo.; John R. Lindburg, T. P. Waskey, Pittsburg, and B. S. Abbott. Weir City. The Waskey Merchandise company of Pittsburg, capital $10,000, and the Os wego Milling company, with $5,000 cap ital, were two new concerns to which charters were issued today. KliBLE SWOOPS DOWN. Followed by a Flock of Friends He Sees Got. Stanley. Sam Kimble, of Manhattan, called on Governor Stanley today with his en dorsements for appointment as judg in the Twenty-first district. Opposi tion to Kimble seems to have melted before his extreme popularity, and at present there is no other formidable rival in sight. Since the Clay county bar has indorsed Kimble's candidacy it has been taken as a practical retire ment of W. H. Stackpole, of Clay Center, from the race, Kimble's friends were on the ground with him in force this morning, and his very visible support included Man hattan bankers, lawyers, editors and influential citizens. The party consist ed of ex-Senator John E. Hesfln, George W. Wilder, lawyer: M. M. Da vis, register of deeds; Robert B- Spil man, clerk of the district court; George W. Flint, of the Nationalist: George S. Murphy, of the First National bank; Chairman C. F. Little, of the Republi can county central committee, and R. J. Brock. These gentlemen laid before the gov ernor that Sam Kimble was their choice for judge in an extended con ference had in his office. They told Mm they intended to run Kimble for judge next year anyhow, and would like to have for him the prestige of a year's service on the bench before that election came around. Kimble is a Republican leader in Riley county up with the foremost. He parted from his Democratic company in 18S1 on the sti ver question, and. they said, never dal lied with fusion to any extent. State Senator R. T. Simons, of Wel lengton, was here today also, in consul tation with Governor Stanley on the Nineteenth district judicial appoint ment. It Is practically resolved down to a choice between James Lawrence and E. C. Wilson, of Sumner. Cowley county had two or three candidates, but the governor told the Cowley county politicians that they had been given a place on the supreme bench, in Judge Pollock, and would have to be content. Governor Stanley said today, relative to the county judicial appointments: "Some of the judges will be announced this month. There are several Septem ber court terms, and where such are held I shall try to let them know- who their next judge will be. It is fair to let a lawyer get his cases off the docket so as to avoid protem. judge sittings as far as possible. And I an sure in such contingencies the members of the bar will give their brother precedence with his cases on the trial docket." BUY CORNER LOTS. Winfield Man Pays S3, 545 For Inside Lawton Property. Kansas City, Aug. 13. A special to the Star from Fort Sill says: George Hudson, of Winfield, Kas., paid $3,545 this morning for the southwest corner lot in the block east of the Lawton land office. The inside lots next to the corner sold for J1.700. and the average price of the first ten lots sold was $1. r,'.15. It is thought today the corner lots in the block immediately south of the land office will bring $4,500. The indications ire that the townsite will sell for a half million dollars, or more than twice the estimate of the most optimistic boomers of th reservation. Two wholesale grocery firms will begin building tomorrow. Two private banks opened today. A HIGHER COURT. feel so bad if I could only get $2.50 LEFT CARACAS. Colombian Legation Leaves the Venezuelan Capital. Traffic Continues Unhindered on the Isthmus. NEWS IS SUPPRESSED. Little Information is Permitted to Escape But It is Known That There Has Been Severe Fighting. mstad.Curacoa, Aug. 13 The Co lombian legation left Caracas today. New York. Aug. 13. Senor Aryuro de Brigard, consul general for Colombia in this city, has received the following cable dispatch from Acting Governor Aristides Arjona, of Panama: "Traffic continues unhindered. Pre datory warfare carried on around rail road has produced no alarm. General situation is satisfactory." The railroad referred to in this mes sage is that owned by the Panama rail road company, for the protection of which President .J. Edward Simmons has asked this government to send a warship. Consul General de Brigard character ized as untrue the assertion by the rev olutionists that they have 8,000 men under arms in the department of Pan ama. "It is also untrue," he said, "that the government has done nothing to con ciliate the Liberals. President Marro quin has issued several decrees guaran teeing freedom. "The government does not, as has been stated, persecute the families of the revolutionists. In fact, the family of General Uribe is in Bogota now en joying the same privilege as mine would were they there." The steamer Alene has just arrived from Savanilla and Cartagena. One of her officers said: "Very little news is permitted to get out, although it is known on the coast that some desperate fighting has re cently taken place in the interior." NOW IS THE TIME John Elliott Advocates Chang ing Channel of River. "Now is the time," said ex-Councilman John Elliott today, "for the city to change the channel of th river, and send the water down through the cen tral arch of the bridge, as has been the original intention ever since the Melan bridge was built." A few teams and scrapers, a few days work and the feat of changing the riv er channel could be accomplished. It would cost only a small amount of money, and it would improve the gen eral appearance of the river front very greatly, besides being of great practi cal benefit to the many large manufac tories and business houses which are crowding each other for space along the south bank of the stream. The river has never been lower than it is now, even in the memory of "the oldest inhabitant." "I remember that in 1860," said John Elliott, "we drove across the river with loads of hay. But there was more ex panse of water than than there is now. But it was not quite as deep as it is now." Excepting a space of a,bout 20 feet, the Kansas river bed makes an excel lent pasture, and many people living along the river are actually picketing their cows and horses on the grass covered sandbars which are usually submerged five feet deep with water. It is a sight which few people in town have ever seen the Kansas river bed turned into a cow pasture. The her bage on the sandbars has been growing and thriving all during the hot July days, because it had plenty of water. Since the rains have fallen, everything has taken a wonderful growth, and it is hard to believe that such rank foliage is trespassing on the precincts of what the United States government declares is a "navigable stream." The work of changing the channel of the river does not belong properly to the city, or to the county, or to the state. The river bed is the property of the government. But if the river chan nel is changed, it will have to be done by the city. Uncle Sam will not object in the least. Street Commissioner Frank Snyder says: "It would be very easy to change the channel. We would dig a shallow ditch, ten or fifteen feet wide, and about three blocks long, down through the central arch of the bridge. Then turn the river into it, and the water would do the rest. The channel would be in the center instead of at one side." At present, the river Is cutting in close to the south bank. This is a bad thing for the south bank,- but a good one for the north side. The north sid is growing quite rapidly along its wa ter front, from accretion. People living near the center of the north side, on the river, have from 10 to 50 feet more real estate than they had ten years ago. On the other hand, the river is slicing off big chunks this side of the river, and will do so still more when the high water comes. The costly pil ing which the city put in on the park front is in danger of being washed out. The city, Wolff's Packing house, and all the other institutions owning land on the water front have been filling in vast quantities of dirt to try and stop the robbery of the river. But the chan nel still stays by the south side, and will stay there till it is started down the center of the stream. The only people who object to chang ing the channel are the owners of the big sand dredge located a short dis tance above the Kansas avenue bridge. If the rjver channel should be changed it would make it necessary for this concern to move its cable pier further toward the north side of the river. But the sand company has only nominal rights to locate its pier in the river, and could offer no valid objection to having the channel of the river put where it belongs, if the city decided to do so. It is even claimed by some that the sand dredge is what is responsible for the current staying on the south side. The pier served to block the sand In the middle of the stream, and the dredge, by constantly deepening the channel at the south, caused the large sandbar to form which now prevents the water from taking its proper course. There is quite a strong feeling among the city officials that it would be a wise thing to cut the channel while the opportunity is offered. It may nev er again be so favorable for such work. TWOMEjJSTABBED A Fight in Front of the Gilsey House, New York. New Tork, Aug. 13 A fight which resulted in the stabbing of two men occurred in front of the Gilsey House early today. The police can give very little information about the row or what led up to it, and no arrests were made. From what could be learned at the house three men said to be Boston politicians and whose names the police gives as Joseph A. Conroy, Patrick Bowen and Joseph J. Norton started the fight. The Wall Paper Manufacturers" convention is being held at the Gilsey House and a number of the delegates were standing in front of the doorway when the three men crossed Broadway to enter the hotel. Conroy, it is assert ed had some words with some of the paper men and in a moment a lively fight was in progress. William F. Francis, also said to be a wall paper manufacturer, was attracted to the scene from a neighboring restaurant and went to the assistance of his friends. Conroy received a stab wound in. the back and Francis was wounded in the thigh. The wounds of the wounded men were dressed and they said they would make no complaint even if the police succeeded in finding the .man who did the stabbing. It was said that one of the Boston men was a congressman, anotheran alderman and the third a state senator. Boston, Aug. 13. Joseph A. Conroy Is the Democratic congressman-elect from the Ninth Massachusetts district and one of the leading members of his party in this city. Joseph J. Norton is a member of the Boston board of aldermen. It is thought here that the third mem ber of the party is Patrick Bowen, a Boston alderman, who Is in New York. NEWPORT IN UPROAR. Auto Chases Through Streets and Huns Over Cyclist. Newport. R. I., Aug. 13. There were quite exciting times on fashionable Bellevue avenue todar, the most dis astrous of which was the running over of a cyclist by a automobile. It appears that the automobile of Mrs. Clement C. Moore had caught on fire near the beach, and word was sent to the auto mobile station asking for assistance. The manager responded, and in ordr to save th machine from destruction he exceeded the speed limit and went down the avenue at a high rate of speed. In turning into one of the side streets he collided with the cyclist, throwing and running over him. The man was badly cut up and his clothes torn, but no bones broken. Shortly after this Mrs. Stuyvesant Fish figured in a breakdown, but she also escaped without injury. She was out in a victoria behind two new spir ited horses, which she was trying, anl had just driven up to one of the stores to talk to a friend. Of a sudden, with out any warning, one of the horses fell down where It stood, and the mate be gan to rear and kick. The carriage be gan to start, and for a moment It look ed as if Mrs. Fish would be thrown out, but. taking advantage of a moment when the carriage was quiet, she jump ed to the sidewalk. WHAT OF THE PAPERS? Lit Crum, Candidate For U. S. Marshal Doesn't Understand. The morning papers printed a dis patch from Washington saying that no papers in recommendation of Lit Crum for United States marshal for this Jurisdiction had been filed with the at torney general. This has been the sub ject of much talk in political circles t i day. Crum's friends have been inquir ing what has become of the papers in his case. It is claimed he has the unanimous endorsement of the Repub lican delegation and that the recom mendation for his appointment has been made. This haa been generally believed, and the announcement that the recommendation has not come t"j Attorney General Knox's attention yet has caused no little consternation. The question Is being asked "If the papers have not yet been presented to Mr. Knox, what has become of them?" Some believe they have been forwarded to the president at Canton without the knowledge of Mr. Knox, but the idea is scouted as improbable. DONE BY TOPEKA MEN. Finishing Touches on Federal Build ing Being Hade. Several Topeka contractors are at work at the federal building here at the corner of Fifth and Kansas ave nue.

George Leitner of Baltimore, the mtite base ball pitcher, received word from Captain Davis of the New York National club to report at once. Davis stated in his telegram that there was a good chance to get a permanent place on the team. Leitner played recently- with the Norfolk club of the Virginia-North Carolina league. Doyle is out of the game again at Chi cago. This time it's a sprained ankle that bothers the doughty Jack. He has had to lay off about 'sieen times this season. Lave Cross goes along in his own way without much being said about him. But Lave plays the game. His third base work this year is as good as he ever did. Grady is bo covered with bruises and cuts that he looks like an amateur painter had been at work on him. He still has a bad cut on his ankle, the result o be ing spiked by McGinnity. If a team had the Athletics' infield, tha outfield of the American Boston league team, and the White Stockings' batteries, it would win a. game occasionally. Lew Wlltse has now won four straight games for Connie Mack. The good folk of Philadelphia can not understand why Pittsburg let him go. It may be as Wtltse says that he is good when he can pitch often and poor when work comes but sel dom. ISlc Kinney, the young shortstop from McSherrytown, who was let out by Con nie Mack when Elv was signed, haa been sent to the New Haven team of the Con necticut league, and Mack will keep a careful eye upon him.

San Francisco, Cal., Aug. 13. Discover ies have just been made, says a Santa Barbara special to the Chronicle, which are believed to establish conclusively that wholesale smuggling of Chinese from British Columbia into the United States through Santa Barbara is carried on. The revenue officials were notified sev eral weeks ago and for three weeks the revenue cutter McCulloch has been cruis ing in the waters of Santa Barbara clian. nel in search of evidence. The smuggling scheme is outlined a follows: Dumber laden vessels leave Puget Sound for southern California points and after getting well out to sea run over to Van. conver, B. C, and pick up Chinese which are ostensibly shipped as part of the crew. Some of these vessels put into Port Har ford and other ports with crews more than twice as large as necessary. When sailing for the north the crews consist al most exclusively of white saiiors. Another method, adopted is the landing of Chinese on one of the islands in the channel and they are brought to Santa Barbara as abalone fishermen. Just what discoveries nave been made by the officers of the revenue cutter are not known, but they have been placed in possession of important information by the local oflicers and are now following up clews furnished by the secret service agents. It is said that the evidence obtained shows that opium has also been smug gled into southern California ports. Peabody Happenings. Peabody, Aug. 13. The large barn of W. H. Fitch, living one-half mile west of here, was burned to the ground yes terday, together with a large quantity of hay in the stack.-The fire was start ed by sparks from a thrashing engine. The property was covered by insurance. Charles Giersch, a Santa Fe brake man, fell from the top of a boxcar near here yesterday morning while the train was going at a. high rate of speed, and he miraculously escaped with only a few bruises.

Per- HEWS. Body of Missing Woman Found in the Kaw. Myrtle Markle of Argentine Committed Suicide. LEFT HOME SATURDAY. Fled in the Twilight With the Family Pursuing. Waved a Handkerchief Then She Disappeared. Argentine, Kas., Aug. 13. The body of Myrtle Markle was found, partly sub merged, on a sand bar in the Kaw river yesterday. This solved a myste rious disappearance case 'which has been puzzling the police of Argentine, her home, Kansas City, Kas., ever since Saturday. The body was discovered on a sand bank on the east side of the river, in Argentine, near the end of the Kansas avenue bridge. Four boys were fishing near there when they found It. They reported it to the police of Argentine, and an ambulance conveyed the body to Daniels Comforts' morgue, where it was identified late in the afternoon by a brother and a sister of the dead girl. Myrtle Markle was a beautiful wo man, who, however, was somewhat sub ject to epilepsy. Still, she was not so badly afflicted as to be irresponsible, except at times. Saturday .evening she dressed herself, and said she was go ing to Fairmount park. Her mother opposed this, and the girl went back to her room. Later on, however, she returned to the veranda where the rebt of the family was seated, and an nounced that she was going away. The others attempted to restrain her, but she broke from their clutches and fled. This was about dusk, and the gath ering dark made it hard to trace her movements.. Hence the most diligent pursuit availed nothing, and no trace of her was found. It was ascertained, however, that she had changed her clothes, and donned old ones. This was wondered at, but not explained at the time. Since Miss Markle's abrupt depar ture she had been diligently searched for by the family and friends, as well as by the officers. Her mother and sister made several trijss to the homes of friends she had visited on the night of her disappearance. A telegram was sent to her brother, J. F. Markle. of Chanute, Kas., who went to Argentine, Sunday morning, and joined in the search. The river was thought of many times and the banks were searched for some trace, but not until yesterday did the Kaw yield up the body. When Miss Markle left home she went in the direction of the river. She ran until she was beyond reach of those who tried to prevent her, and then she turned around end waved a handkerchief at them. The mother shuddered at this, thinking it was a token of her suicidal intention, and when the news of her daughter's fate YORK BAY. is at her best now. She will never I 1XA Hoy, OiEly!"

Wellington Journal: A few days ago the Journal made mention of the fact that W. S. Longman's one-third share in bS acres of wheat on his farm near Cald well netted him $3fi0 after all expenses had been paid, and after he had paid the tenant an extra sum for looking after and marketing the wheat. Since then several '"town farmers" have reported the profits they received for their one-third share of the wheat raised on their land this year. A sort of rivalry has sprung up among them to see who lias made the most money off his land. For the purpose of determining who realized the greatest per cent of profit this year we invite re ports from the remaining town farmers. The following have reported so far. It should be borne in mind that the money represents the net proceeds of one-tiiird of the crop: W. S. Longman. 88 acres. $3fi0. Charles F. Martin, SO acres, 346.53; sold for 4b cents. Charles F. Martin, 40 acres, $173.10; sold for Se1 cents. Judge J. V. Chapman. ISO acres. $;10. W. W. Davenport, W acres, 1313.50. WISHED MATTIE GOOD BYE. Kansas City Lover's Forlorn Message to Lucky Miss Beala. Wichita, Aug. 13. Miss Mattie Beals, the winner of the second claim at Lawton, heard from her former Kan sas City love, Mr. Akerland, the Savoy porter, today. She received from him a sheet of music with a note written on its margin saying: "Good-by, dear Mattie, good-by."The music was"Good by, dear heart, good-by for ever," and where "dear heart" appeared it was scratched out and the name "Mattie" inserted. "I guess." she said, "that he has fin ally gotten it through his- head that it is good-by with him forever, so far as I am- concerned." Killed by a Switch Engine. Parsons.

Great Steel Strike Likely to Alfect Santa Fe. Question of Structural Steel is Getting Serious. HOPE FOR SETTLEMENT Local Machine Shops and Foun dries Worried. Shortage of Steel May Interfere With the Work. "If the steel strike continues for any great length of time," said Chief Engi neer W. B. Storey of the Santa Fe yes terday, "it may seriously interfere with the construction of the Santa Fe shops here. As yet I have heard nothing which indicates that our material is not being worked out as rapidly as possi ble. I understand that the work on the Santa Fe material is being done at mills in Toledo, Ohio. 1 don't know whether the men there have struck. "Until recently the striKe has been confined to the sheet steel workers, but now that it has spread to the struc tural steel men, it of course is a menace to our work." Jt will probably not be till September 1 that the ground which the city has purchased for the Santa Fe will be cleared and made ready for use. From that time on the Santa Fe will need vast quantities of structural steel, and it is believed that by that time the need for material can be supplied. A large amount of the steel for the new buildings is said to be already completed and waiting at the mills for shipment. Not only is the shortage of steel be ing felt by the Santa Fe, but local ma chine shos and foundries may be obliged to close down if the strike is not settled soon. It is said that the local situation will reach a critical stage within a week or two unless a settlement of the strike is effected. The shortage is being felt in roll steel, shafting, bolts, nuts, and structural steel. Building and general construc tion work where iron and steel is re quired will be left at a standstill. The bridges which the county commission ers are planning to throw across the Kansas river before snow Hies will have to wait. Heretofore there have always been enough independent concerns during strikes of this character to supply the machine shops over the "United States with their vital necessities, but at pres ent Jones Laughlin, limited, at Mc Keesport and Pittsburg, Pa., is the only independent concern which can be looked to. All the others have been ab sorbed by the Morgan syndicate. If the situation in the east continues unsettled and the general strike order of President Shaffer is heeded, every machine shop in Topeka will probably be compelled to refuse orders within two weeks. TO BE FUSED. Transcontinental and Western Pass enger Association Will Consolidate. Chicago. 111., Aug. 13. It has been practically agreed to move the head quarters of the Transcontinental Pas senger association from Denver to Chi cago. All the roads interested have voted in favor of the proposition except the Missouri Pacific and Missouri, Kan sas and Texas railroads, and these, it is stated, w ill give their consent within a few- days. Chairman Charlton was in conference with the general passengers agents here yesterday afternoon re garding the matter, and it is probable that the transfer of offices will be made August 15. K. H. Harriman and Traffic Director J. C. Stubbs are mainly responsible for bringing the association to Chicago. As Mr. Stubbs has charge of the passenger as well as the freight traffic of the Union Pacific and Southern Pacific rail roads, he is naturally anxious to have the association headquarters right un der his eye at Chicago, where he can give through supervision to the through passenger business over the roads un der his control. The Santa Fe people also were anxious to have the associa tion located at Chicago. It is believed to be the intention to amalgamate the Transcontinental and Western Passenger associations in the near future, as one chairman can easily handle the business of both, and a large saving in the expense for salaries and supplies can be made. NEW OKLAHOMA S.OAD Will Extend Through. Three Western Kansas Counties. Guthrie, Okla., Aug. 13. Secretary Grimes today granted a charter to the Western Itailroad Construction com pany, of Enid, Okla., to build a railroad from Pueblo, Colo., to Fort Smith, Ark., running through the counties of Pueblo. Otero, Bent, Los Animas and Boca, in Colorado; Morton, Stevens and Seward counties, in Kansas; Beaver, Woodward, Woods, Garfield, Noble, Logan, Payne and Pawnee counties, in Oklahoma, and the Creek, Cherokee and Choctaw na tions, in Indian Territory with a branch line through the counties of Dewev. Custer, Blaine and Caddo, in Oklahoma, and the Chickasaw nation, in Indian Territory, to Dallas, Tex. The estimated length of the line is 1.000 miles, and the estimated cost $25, 000,000. The capital stock of the com pany is S250.0OO, and the incorporators are: H. E. Havens, M. A. Kelso, W. S. Whittinghill and A. D. Purmot, Enid, Okla.; P. W. Master, Kansas City, Mo.; J. W. Burnett and H. C. Miller, Sapul pa, I. T. C. W. Turner, Muscogee, I. T., and C. J. Barth, Chicago, Illinois. ENJOIN BROKERS. Santa Fe Slaps a Blanket Injunction on Los Angeles Scalpers. Los Angeles, Aug. 13. The Santa Fe is after the ticket brokers of the city with a sharp stick, a complaint having been filed today by the company's legal department applying for a blanket in junction to restrain all of the ticket brokers from handling any of the Ep worth league tickets going east. The papers in the case allege that the transportation in question was sold at less than the regular tariff, under a stipulated agreement wherein the pur chaser bound himself not to dispose of the tickets to any third person, and that the defendant brokers, by selling the same to the general public, are per petrating a fraud. The restraining order asked for is to apply only to the reduced rate trans portation sold from and to the east for the Epworth league convention recent ly held in San Francisco. The tickets in question cannot be used after Aug ust 1. The railroad people say that several ot these tickets are in the hands of local brokers, and the proceedings in stituted in Los Angeles are identical with those recently brought in San Francisco, and which were successful K before Superior Judge Shaw during the N. E. A. convention two years ago. The ticket brokers of the city are pre paring to give to the Santa Fe a run for its money, and will not concede the legal right of the company to prohibit their dealing In Epworth league trans portation. The temporary restraining order In the matter will come up before Super ior Judge Trask August 14. NEW BRANCH OPENED. Santa Fe Extension From Rayburn to Silsbee Junction. Galveston, Aug. 13. The following circular has been issued by L. J. Polk, general manager of the Santa Fe: The Montgomery Branch extension from Rayburn to Silsbee Junction, connecting with the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City Railway companx will be completed on August 11, 190J and opened for both passenger anJ freight business. Through train ser vice, both passenger and freight, will be inaugurated between Somerville and all points on the Gulf, Beaumont and Kansas City railway and Gulf, Beau mont and Great Northern railway on that date. The following stations on the new extension will be opened: Miles from With agents Galveston. Kountze 284.1 Silsbee 293.0 Prepay Rayburn 2S4.4 River 252.0 LaSalle 257.0 Votaw 262.4 Bragg 268.6 Lalavale 274.3 Dies 279.1 Fresenius 2S9.1 The passenger, freight and transpor tation departments will issue tariffs and time cards giving full information to agents and connecting lines. MAT BE IDLE. Orient Work to Await the Result of Injunction Suit. Emporia, Kan., Aug. 13. C. P. Elliott, contractor for the Orient, was in from the west side grading yesterday. He said that they were through the first five miles of country west of town and would receive orders what to do next. He did not have any idea what the next move would be, but thinks that possibly the men may be ordered to lie idle for a week until the injunction suit of the Santa Fe is heard. If thi is not done, then the next five miles of land will probably be taken up. The attorneys in the injunction suit were taking depositions yesterday among the parties interested, getting ready for a hasty hearing of the case as soon as Judge Madden returns from Colorado. New Shipping Facilities. Arkansas City, Aug. 13. Superintendent A. H. Webb of the Missouri Pacific was in the city over night from Wichita in his special car. While here he made a trip to look at the company's property at David son. This is one of the chief stock ship, ping points on the line and the company has decided that the facilities for hand ling the business during the stock rush are not equal to the occasion. For this reason the superintendent was at David son to look over the ground before the work of building commences. The com pany will enlarge the yards and make many other improvements that will en able the stock to be handled in much less time and more conveniently. It is quit likely that more track will have to be built to carry out the company's plans. Rock Island Change. H. J. Whitcomb, formerly claim agent of the Rock Island at Kansas City has been appointed adjusting agent of the lines west of the Missouri river. His headquarters will be maintained at To peka. He succeeds Herbert D. Crosby who resigned to go to Anadarko, Ok. The vacancy in the position of travel ing loss and damage agency caused by Mr. Whitcomb coming here will prob ably be filled from the freight depart ment here. Rock Island Notes From Horton. Ed. Vandersclice resigned his place as car builder last week and will prepare to take possession of his Oklahoma claim soon. Special car 500, with General Manager A. J. Hitt on board, passed through Horton Monday on a tour of inspection over the southwest lines. John Mapes is back at work in the machine shop after a two weeks' lay off. the result of getting overheated during the hot days of two weeks ago. Engineer Thornton, who was dis charged from the Rock Island service a few weeks ago. now has a position with the Missouri Pacific out of St. Louis. Sam Bartlett had the misfortune to have his house burned last Thursday. Nearly all of his household goods were burned and were only partly insured. Engineer Art Hodgdon and Conductor Van Scoy are off duty, pending investi gation on account of getting out against a passenger train's time be tween Wathena and Troy. Ben Magee, who has been resting a few days last week after being relieved of his job as foreman of the sawmill, returned to his old job as pattern maker Monday. Section Foreman James Kennedy quit the latter part of last week and left for the southwest. He is succeeded by T. T. Rillahan, formerly section foreman at Mayetta. H. I. VanCourt was overcome by heat last Saturday afternoon while working on an engine near the round house. He had to be carried home, but is about able to return to work again. Geo. Bliss returned Thursday from his trip to the Ft. Sill country. He was not among the lucky number in the drawing but feels amply repaid for go ing by the novel sights in the new country.- SPARKS FROM OTHER ENGINES Some of the men work steadily for a longer time than it seems possible for a man to endure. One man came into the house to inquire when his train would be ready. "I'd like to get back to Arkansas v. Caution.

St. P. railroad was in debt only eighty million dollars. Now it is in debt 116 million dol lars. Certainly that speaks for substan tial growth. Emporia Gazette. General Manager H. U. Mudge, General Superintendent Resseguie and Division Superintendent Fox are all present at the scene of the big washout, giving personal attention to the repair work. The Sant& Fe officials are hustlers Albuquerque Journal-Democrat. The Southern Pacific and Santa Fe have restored the rates prevailing a few years ago upon the shipment of wine grapes to and from this territory. The former tariffs in existence up to August 1 were, it wta given out today, made effective at a time when grapes were selling at from $6 to a ton, and now that the price has ad vanced the freight rates have been made to apply. Los Angeles Express. F. B. Houghton, division agent for the Santa Fe, and W. R. Brown, traveling agent for the Santa Fe railway, have come up to Las Veeas from El Reno to meet George E. Roe. who has been ap pointed division agent of the Santa Fe to fill the vacancy caused by the promotion of Mr. Houghton to an important position at San Francisco. Mr. Roe for several years has been commercial agent for the Santa Fe at Pueblo, Col., but he is un acquainted with this particular part of the Santa Fe system. Las Vegas Optic. A Brooklyn man has patented a device for cooling passenger cars in the summer time. It is an ammonia preparation which is forced through pipes under the seats. In the winter time steam from the engine courses through pipes from car to car. These same conduits will be used for the ammonia, the liquid moving in re. sponse to the workings of a pump. The extra fine feature of the invention is that the windows of the cars may be closed. Las Vegas Optic. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE Blacksmith Charles Holmgren was off duty Monday.

Oil companies with fabulous sums announced for their capital stock, are being organized hourly In the new town of Lawton, near here. Twenty or more "pro moters" and oil experts direct from the Beaumont district have bottles of oil on display. No gushers have been brought in. The excitement is not eon fined to any particular district. Evi dences of oil can be found in all direc tions, but what is known as the dis trict is about eleven miles north of Lawton. Oil locaters have plastered the entire country with mineral claims and one Ottumwa, Iowa, company has 2.000 acres staked in one body. Another conpany claiming a quarter million capital, has claimed a large tract nine miles northeast of Lawton, and a third company has been organized on paper at least, and placed its capital at one million dollars. FIXING THE PAVEMENTS. Eighteen Men Are Put to Work Today. Eighteen extra men were set to work Monday by the Barber Asphalt Paving company, repairing the asphalt pave ments of the city. Tuesday the company pays that it will largely increase the force. The work commenced this morning at Fourth and Jackson streets. Notice had been given that the pavement repairs would give employment to fifty extra men, and the men were on hand. But the company failed to "make good." It claimed that it had not enough mater ial and tools on hand to give employ ment to more than eighteen men, and this number was engaged. Forty men sat on the curbstones, and w7atched the lucky eighteen go to work. The com pany pays J1.25 a day, and there seems to be no lack of applicants for jobs at this rate. The extra gang is working three sur face heaters, and will work south on Jackson street to Tenth. Two other paving repair gangs are at work, one near Fourth and Jefferson and one near Ninth and Quincy. The men in these gangs are the regular force, which has been divided into two gangs of six men each. Tuesday E. B. Demarest of Kansas City, the district manager for the Bar ber Asphalt company, M ill come to To peka and go over all the paved streets with City Engineer McCabe. They will take a bucket of red paint with them, and will mark every place in the asphalt pavements all over town that needs to be repaired. When the com pany completes the work which the city engineer lays out for it, the pavements will be in perfect condition, and then the company will be paid the last in stallment of the $20,000 which it gets for keeping the pavements in good re pair for 5 years. It will then be re leased from the $20,000 bond which has bound it to the faithful fulfillment of the contract. It is said that this grand final round up of defective pavements can be com pleted in about two months, and It is believed that the city will not be at any further expense for repairs for two or three years, but it will.

There has been a biff wheat crop; fod ler is plentiful, and the farmers as a class ore prosperous and out of debt, owing- to a series of good harvests.

These figures show that imports into the Uni ted States from Germany have increas ed from Jl'7,000,000 in 1ST0 to 100 millions In 1S01, and that exports from the Uni ted States to that country have in creased from 42 millions in 1879 to 191 millions in 1901 an increase of nearly i'JO per cent in imports from Germany and of nearly 400 per cent in exports to Germany. On the export side, the greatest growth has been during the last five years. In which time our exports to Germany have doubled, being in ISPn, Jl'T.SST.lST. and in 1?01. J191.072.232. This growth is distributed among a large number of articles. Comparing our ex ports to Germany in 3S95 with those of lSi'l, corn has increased from J1.672,D?9 In 1?95 to J17.S05.229 in 1901; wheat, from S1.522.73S to J7.S71,r,73: lard, from SS.01S. 6!6, to S13,7X,875; oil cake and oil cake meal, from $2,339,683, to $5,242,624; flour, from $740,204 to $2,011,239; agricultural Implements, from $,".36,914, to $2,677,319; find copper, from $1,604,390 in 1S'J3 to T83.4P6 in 1901.

GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.J Men like loafing pretty we'd natur ally, and should not be encouraged. Don't hate the man who dislikes the society of wonen; maybe it Is his way of being economical. There never was a girl so honest that she was not willing to deceive a little as to the size of her bust. All kinds of vegetables are so scarce this year except onions that it is per missible to eat them without apology. If a woman is loved for the way she makes pie, or the cake she bakes, that is the kind of love that lasts as long as any. The story of the engineer who tried to make another station rhould be re lated to a certain Atchison man at once. Somehow when poverty overtakes people they never remember that now they have a chance to become real Bohemians. An Atchison woman is such a srossin that she started a. story about another woman because she sat down near the grave of a man she used to know. Whenever we see a laboring man sit under a tree at noon and open his dinner pail, somehow we always envy film tne eagerness with which he looks into it. Turnips, cabbage and onions will be more plentiful than other vegetables this fall, and every one scents up a house so that the people have to move out. If a man !s single, he can sometimes speak to a girl without being intro duced, but if he is married lie mustn't save her life without a pre vious introduction. You can nearly always catch a man by telling him he really ought to he in a larger field. Nearly every poor busi ness that was ever sold, was soid to a man from a smaller town by the use of this story. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. The wearer knows where the shoe pinches.

Fireman Moore Must Submit to Sur gical Operation. A. L. Moore, the fireman who was hurt in the Kock Island accident west of Topeka Friday, and v ho ha-s been at Stor-nont hospital for jmrgical care, Monday went to his home in Kansas City. He wiil submit to an operation that will necessitate the cutting open of his arm ind the removal of some splinters from the bones. In jumping from the train the fireman was on the side of the switch, and his arm struck a tie. and was bioken both above and below the elbow. Fireman Moore was making his last run as a fireman, he having only recently been promoted When he recovers he will have charge of a freight engine. It is miraculous that more people were not injured In the fcccfdertt. The Colorado Flyer was late five hours, and the trainmen were under orders to make up as much tine as possible. They were a little behind their orders, and were running at the rate of a mile in 54 seconds. This rate of speed had been maintained all the distance from McFarland. As the train came around a bend in the track near the sugar mills about four miles west of Topeka the trainmen saw the freight standing on the main line not 200 yards away. The engineer reversed the throttle and put on the -lir brakes, and both the engineer and fireman jumped from the engine. Kngineer Fattison struck In a pile of soft sand where the section hands had been Avorking, and his head was buried tip to the shoulders In the loose earth, but he was not hurt. An amusing incident of the accident was the game of leap frog Indulged in by the fireman and a. tramp who had been stealing a ride on the "blind bag gage." The tramp jumped at about the same time as did the fireman, and they rolled over each other several times, the tramp picking himself up on the oppo site side of the switch track and un hurt. The tramp immediately started for town as fast as his legs would carry him, declaring he never would ride the "blind" again. CUT U WAGES. Reduction Decided Upon by Cot ton Manufacturers.

"I am afraid to employ a lawyer to defend my little boy for fear my hus band will lose his position with the Santa Fe," was what Mrs. Mary Tucker said in the city court Monday afternoon when her 15-year-old boy Willie Tucker had his jreliminary examination on the charge of breaking into a Santa Fe tool house. Willie Tucker was arrested on a com plaint sworn out by Peter Snyder, a Santa Fe watchman. The boy's father is a Santa Fe employe and tends the switch lights in the yards and near the city. The switch light tender is the father of a family of nine children. lie did not appear in the court room. Willie Tucker was charged with breaking into a tool house. The charge of stealing from the building was not made. Snyder claimed that he caught Willie Tucker in the tool house before he had time to take anything. That was at six o'clock in the morning when it was daylight and anyone who happen ed to be in the neighborhood could have seen him enter the building. Willie Tucker claims that he was sent to the tool house and that he had a right there. He says he did not break in to steal. Mrs. Tucker sat by her boy in the court room. She seemed very much unused to the ways of courts but she understood that after the pre liminary hearing in the city court that her boy would have to stand trial in the district court. "We'll get even with him yet," ex claimed Mrs. Tucker several times. She was referring to Peter Snyder and she claimed that the charges against her boy were brought because of some fam ily trouble the Tucker family had with the Snyders. Judge McCabe asked Mrs. Snyder If she understood that her boy was to be examined and that if sufficient proof was shown that he would be bound over to stand trial in the district court. "i do," said Mrs. Tucker. "Have you an attorney?" asked the court. "No," replied the mother. "Do j'ou wish to conduct your own case yes." "I think that I should tell you that as this trial will be according to law that you should have some one to rep resent you who is familiar with court procedure," explained Judge McCabe. "I have no lawyer," said Mrs. Tucker. The examination was commenced. The complaining witness. Snyder, testi fied that he watched the boy go to the tool house and force an entrance. He said that when he reached the tool house he caught the boy before he could steal anything. The prosecution fin ished. "Swear the witnesses for the de fense." said the court. Mrs. Tucker said nothing. "Have you no witnesses?" asked the court. "No," replied the woman. The boy shook his head. Then Lawyer A. M. Thomas volun teered his services and cross question ed the state's witnesses. Willie Tucker was bound over under $300 bond to stand trial before the district court on the charge of breaking into a Santa Fe tool house. J. D. Wilson acted as his bondsman, and he was saved from jail. If he is convicted he will go to the pen itentiary or reformatory for he is over 15 years old and he will be well pre pared for a career of crime when he gets out. VETERANS GATHER.

YATES III TROUBLE Illinois Governor Appoints Kan sas Ex-Conrict to Place. Governor Tates, of Illinois, has a scandal on his hands in his appoint ment of Charles H. Payson to be chair man of the Illinois state board of claims. Payson served 18 months in the Kansas state penitentiary and was disbarred, as well, from practicing law in this state. He is now an editor and lawyer at Watseka, Iroquois county, 111. His appointment to a place on the board that will adjudicate claims against his state to the amount of a quarter million of dollars has made a big political stir in Illinois. The Chicago Sunday Tribune roasts Governor Tates severely for elevating Payson 'from prison to state pay-roll" and goes over Payson's checkered ca reer in detail. On May 13, 18), at Winfield, Kan., Payson was convicted of cheating and defrauding a woman, Lena McNeill. Judge A. M. Jackson imposed a sen tence of five years in the penitentiary. This sentence was carried out to the extent of taking Payson to the "pen." where he served IS months. Then Governor St. John pardoned him, at the request it is supposed generally, of his brother. Judge Payson, of Pontiae, 111., then in congress. The charge on which Payson was convicted was that on January 26. 18S0, Lena McNeil visited his office to have a deed drawn conveying property to her mother. Payson put his own name in the deed. He contended, on trial, that the property had been transferred to him in payment of legal fees. But the women insisted this was not true. Lena McNeil supposed she was deeding to her mother. The jury believed the wo men. Payson was disbarred in Kansas on December 4. 1S79. The charge was thafc Sarah Clark had given him $163 to loan for her and he never did so. Payson declared the court was prejudiced against him so member of the local bar tried the case and the finding was: "It is a-djudged by the court that the order admitting said Charles H. Payson to practice law in the courts of Kan sas is hereby revoked and the name of said Charles H. Payson be stricken from the rolls of attorneys of this court." Payson went to Colorado after leav ing the Kansas penitentiary, then back to Illinois. He has been involved in libel suits and litigation of dubious kinds since there. Disbarment proceed ings there were filed but not prosecu ted, the Tribune says, on account of the. remissness of Attorney General Mo loney. THE PROHIBITORY LAW.

The State Journal has received the following copy of a letter to Governor Stanley: "Governor Stanley I was well pleased with an article in the State Journal a few days ago, wherein it was explained that you used the power in vested in you by the laws of Kansas giving you oversight over all inferior officers and the power to call a halt if they were going astray, by calling a halt at Leavenworth and preventing a piize fight and saved the state from disgrace. Seeing the bravery you man ifested in wiring the officers of Leav enworth not to allow that disgraceful thing to occur at their peril, 1 could not help but compare your bravery with that of Governor Morrill, who took a solemn oath to enforce the laws of Kansas at a time when we had a pro hibitory law in Kansas. In Leaven worth men decided they would sell liquor regardless of the law. The peo pie called on Governor Morrill to en force the law." He was simply regard less of his oath to man and his obliga tion to God as a Sabbath school super intendent and said 'I can't.' Don't you think, governor, if he had the nerve you possess he could have said 'This law must be observed'? But he wanted to carry water on both shoulders. felt much interest in Mr. Leedy when he was elected, and wrote him a pri vate letter telling him of the enviab'e position he occupied .and how tne whole world was looking" at Kansas to see what he would do with the prohib itory law. "Did you ever stop to tHinlfr of the miserable end of the two former gov ernors mentioned? They went from office besmirched from head to foot. Allow me to congratulate you on your bravery in stopping that fight. Xou don't suppose, governor, tnat tne peo pie of Kansas did not know that the former governors were trying to pun the wool over their eyes? If you con tinue to exhibit your courage there w ill be no trouble for you to be United States senator soon. "K. J. KELLOGG." TI111EE DAYS BARBECUE. That is What Grocers and Butchers May Have.

Three locations have been under con sideration for the big entertainment: Martin's Hill, the fair grounds and Garfield park. One of the suggestions to be present ed tonight for discussion will be the project to have the barbecue and feast to last two or three days and supple ment it with race meet features in the afternoon and horse show features at the fair grounds in the evening. By arranging an entertainment of this magnitude it is argued, would be an inducement for people to come here on excursions from all the cities and towns within a radius of lo0 miles. CLARK DENIES IT.

Mayor Ryan and Street Commis sioner Engel held a consultation this morning at which the action taken was decided on as the only means the city could employ to cut Its expenses to meet the loss of revenue. Mayor Ryan when seen by a reporter this morning stated that it was neces sary to cut off the men to reduce ex penses, but refused to be quoted as saying that the loss of revenue was caused by the closing of the gambling houses.

He then entered into the spirit of the chase with a view of relieving the strained condition of spotter life. Tea, they began to prepare a vacation for Mr. Brenard. Mr. Otis Hungate. chief attorney for the jointists, was the whole show when it came to put ting this scheme into execution. He ordered a transcript of Mr. Brenard's testimony, and wrote a long document with lots of "wrongf ullys. maliciouslys and willfullys" with a plentiful sprink ling of "wherens." Scattered around among these extravagant legal fixtures was a charge of perjury against one John Brenard. Now this is an interest ing situation. If Mr. Brenard is con victed, many of the oft-appealed liquor cases will be cast out of the district court without ceremony. Notably among them is the case against Nick Chiles and his MoKinley" club, the convictions being the direct result of Mr. Brenard's testimony, who swore that he interred himself in a pile of rubbish and watched the busy colored politician for about four hours by the lock. Everybody who says anything about it says Spotter evidence must g" but they don't all mean the same way. The jointist and his attorney say it must go to well, anywhere but a jury. Prosecuting Attorney Urmy and Chief Stahl say it must go as convinc ing and convicting evidence. They will all know more about it when th? dis trict court gets through with Mr. Bre nard. Mr. George Dupree, fat, perspiring rikI sad at heart, pleaded "not guilty" nn'i a friend named Vance put up a $7-00 bond for hi3 reappearance. The friend was not A. H. Vance. It is a hardship for Mr. Dupree to transport liis great bulk to the police court so often. He is thinking of building a little private jail and police court in connection with his Joint to save so much useless travel. When his sorrow ful visage loomed up in the court room 4'hlzzoner' said reproachfully, "George, I knew that chunk of ice I saw In your buggy yesterday would get you into trouble." Miss Susan Brown was arrested in the midst of Saturday night by Officers Smith and Hutton. They appeared a gainst her Monday afternoon, ;?usan bitterly denied the charge that she was not on the streets for legitimate pur poses as did her attorney, Mr. Joe Reed, who said Topeka had become so cor rupt that it was against the ordinance for people to live. He said that it was customary to fine a girl $10 for going to a dance in a wrapper. This, by the way, was one of Urmy's long suits in prose cuting the woman. He put much stress on the fact that she wore a wrapper. The horizon looked smoky for the Brown woman until her legal defender made a spread-eagle oration in which he told of the awful persecution of the innocent citizens of the "under world" by the police. The court was not moved to tears, but he was moved to discharge the defendant, not, however, without telling her that he believed the testi mony offered by the defense to be a fine collection of fish stories. The meanest trick played on any one for a long time was the little joke of a police official, w ho extracted some un willing information from a woman who called in behalf of her father whose name Is Dumford, who was staying out a sentence for plain drunk. She was not allowed to take him home. Sue started to tell the force what she thought of them, taken as a whole, and said that her husband had seen three policemen, stars and all. drinking beer In a joint on Sixth street next to Ves per's bakery. Here is where the official scored. He picked up a pencil and pad, "What is your husband's name?" tie asked pleasantly. The lady prompt ly answered that it was Tom Wilbur. "Ah hum. Where did you ay he lived The lady had forgotten just where, when she saw what she was doing, but when the officer insisted, she remem bered that it was 1247 Harrison street. "Ah hum!

Elaine Golding, an 11-year-old girl, performed the remarkable feat yesterday of swimming across the tiarrows in a race from Fort Wadsworth to the float of the Brooklyn Boat club at Fort Hamilton. She is a sister of Ethel Golding, the champion woman swimmer of the country. In all she swam three and an eighth miles, having been carried by the tide a mile and three-quarters out of her cours and being compelled to face both wind and tide in her effort to make her land ing. Elaine finished as strongly as she start ed and within half an hour after reaching shore was dressed and sitting on the bal cony of the boat club receiving congratu lations and inspecting the medal she won. Although only 11 years old, Elaine weighs 135 pounds and is a waterwitch. She comes from a family of swimmers. Her father was noted in this way and her mother has a reputation as a swim mer. Her sister Ethel has never been beaten. The race, which was for a gold medal given by the Brooklyn Rowing club, was to have been a contest between five girls for the championship of Brooklyn. At the last minute Florence West. Helen Pollock, and Mary Martin withdrew. This left only Miss May Behr to try conclusions with little Elaine. Miss Behr is 17 years old and one of the belles of Bay Ridge. She is handsome, full of pluck, and al though she finished half an hour behind the 11-year-old child, she made a plucky race. A great crowd had gathered at the boat house and on the adjoining pier to watch ttie finish, and as Elaine showed ahead a great shout went over the water and the child raised one of her hands and waved it. Four sturdy oarsmen of the Brooklyn club pulled the child up on the float. Her face was black from mud and drift that had floated against her. and her mother ran down on the pier and wiped her face. "Jlv little girl is tired." she cried. "I'm not tired," she said. "I want my medal." It was pinned on her breast. Vice Commodore Wilson of the Life, saving station calculated the distance traveled as three and an eighth miles. The time was 1 hour and 36 minutes. SCARES SALVATION A 11 MY.

TWO OTHERS GOT OUT. Were Nearly Dead When They Reached the Surface. Trouble Caused by Using an En gine Underground. Helena, Mont., Aug. 13. Two men were killed and two others staggered into the open air with almost their last gasp as the result of a peculiar acci dent which occurred at 6 o'clock last night in the new tunnel of the Minah mine at Wicks, Mont. The four men had gone to the end of the tunnel, a distance of 2,600 feet, and were engaged in sinking a shaft, which work had been in progress several days. They had been using a small engine for hoisting dirt. The smoke had been carried to a tunnel above the one in which the men were engaged, from where it was dissipated by means o an air shaft. Last night after the men had been working several hours the air shaft became stopped up arid the smoke was forced to return to the tun nel where it originated. When the men discovered their danger they began a retreat and had reached a point 700 feet from the opening of the tunnel, where two of them. Eli Gunvelle and Marion Johnson, fell dead. The other two men escaped to the open air. but were almost dead and were restored after much difficulty. OYER A PRECIPICE. Horse and Carriage Fall 100 Feet in Ban Francisco. San Francisco, Aug. 13.

The White House has received its biennial coat of paint and looks as good as new. About 2,900 pounds of paint was used, and this was thinned with about 800 pounds of oil and 200 pounds of turpentine.Two coats of paint were given and the ma terial and labor cost about $1,500. So far as known the old paint has not been scraped from the executive mansion, so that there is now a very thick coating of white material all over the outside of the structure, represent ing the accumulations of a century. The boss painter who superintended the work this year says that these old coats of paint ought to be scraped and burned off before the house is painted again, but he estimates that this work would cost at least $5,000.

Only $80,000 of Stolen Gold Now to Be Recovered. San Francisco, Aug. 13. It is stated at the office of the Selby Smelting com pany that the force of divers under the management of the Pinkertons had taken an additional $65 000 worth of gold from the spot where it was hidden by Winters, Making nearly $200,000 al ready recovered. It is expected that the balance of the stolen treasure, amounting to SS0.0O0, will be recovered inside of 24 hours.- Winters is still detained by the offi cers in this city, but has not been for mally charged with the crime. The fact that he has not been charged with any crime lends weight to the belief m some quarters that he will be leniently dealt with by the officers of the com pany. There promises to be a lively fight between the detectives over the re ward money, and the matter may even tually be taken into court for settle ment. Detective Morse, who it Is stated definitely fixed upon Winters the au thorship of the crime, states that he got his first information from Donaldson, an employe of the works who formerly roomed with Winters. Acting upon this information Morse gathered sufficient evidence against Winters to warrant the arrest of the latter. Morse, who is a detective for the Selby people, does not claim any of the reward, but states that a large por tion of it should be divided between Donaldson and Sheriff Veale of Contra Costa county. The lawyers for the last named are drawing up papers set ting forth the claims of Donaldson and Veale. Their claims are opposed by the other detective agencies in the case. The man Winters who escaped from the Kansas state penitentiary and the Winters who robbed the Selby smelting works cannot possibly be one and the same man, because the Selby robber is known to have worked at the smelting plant for the past seven years with but few absences, and they of but short duration. He claims to have come here from Los Angeles and Texas. ARE THEY BENDERS? Frank Ayres Still Positive He is Correct. Fort Collins, Colo., Aug. 13.

They will go in to the Lone Pine country, and Manhat tan, as Ayres states to trace up the whereabouts of John Lavin, who was once married to Mrs. Ayres. It is said that Mrs. Ayres says that Lavin is dead, but Ayres claims to have infor mation to the effect that he is located in Colorado. Lavin, so Ayres says, ha3 in his possession some keepsakes that belonged to the Bender family. CRISPI DIED POOR. Requested That There Be No Relig ious Ceremony at Funeral. Naples, Aug. 13.

Conversation, wThich had hitherto been carried on in suppressed tones, entire ly ceased and an air of solemnity pos sessed the assembly. The train rolled in slowly and noiselessly. Twenty non-commissioned officers of the Dowager Empress hussars, regi ment No. 2, came forward and bore the coffin to the royal hearse, which in the meanwhile had arrived from the new palace. Chamberlains and courtiers' with the royal insignia participated in the transfer of the coffin from the funeral car to the hearse. Slowly and solemnly the procession formed. Eight staff officers seized the reins of the eight splendid black horses attached to the hearse and four knights of the Black Eagle took hold of the points of the pall cloth, while twelve royal chamberlains held the sup ports of the canopy covering the hearse, and four other courtiers held the cords from the corners. Flanking these, to the right and left, were two staff officers and twelve captains. The procession formed n the shady avenue extending from Wild park to the new palace.

When the procession started the bells In the Friedenkirche (church of peace") began tolling and all the other bells ir Potsdam joined in. When the procession reached the mausoleum, adjacent to the Kreidenkirche. all those by the procession in advance of the hearse took up posi tions opposite the church. When the coffin was borne across the threshold of the mausoleum the cathed ral choir from Berlin intoned a solemn stroppe. Only the emperor and empress, the ott members of the imperial family. King Edward, Queen Alexandra and the othei members of the British royal party ami the princes of the highest rank entereci the mausoleum, which is small.

Chicago, Aug. 13. WHEAT Tower ca bles had a depressing effect upon the wheat market today and the opening wait quiet and lower.

New York, Aug. 13 It is rather curious that litigation against the People s Gas company started with a flourish of trum pets only three days ago should have been forgotten so soon. The price of the stock haa rallied to within two points of thn opening figure last Friday. A few ob servers who are inclined to be incredulous as regards the sincerity of many action designed to assault Wail street, profess to believe that the People's Oms matter is one of the steps taken by the bear party to force pric down. The same men are inciinett to doubt the genuineness of the argu ments brought forward yesterday to itc count for a sudden fall of nearly 4 cents in the price of sugar stock. They sa y that another step was taken to knock prices. There is one fact atiuut the decline some one sold 10,0"0 shares of stock. It is not impossible that so much should be sold for effect on the general market. Joseph- Tips. Furnished by A. G. Goodwin, Commis sion Merchant. 61 Kansas ave. New York, Aug. 13. The speculative po sition is stronger as a result of the prac tical defeat or the steel strikers and h the removal of uncertainty regarding th extent of the damage to the corn crop. Both influences were discounted by th July decline in prices and the strong tech nical position of the market renders it impervious to any bear attack. There is no quantity of stocks offering and buyers find it difficult to execute orders. Tfi banking interests are plenty bullish, al though not active in the marET.. Th steel strike promises to fizzle out before the end of the week, and we may look fur a better and higher market. We are bull, ish on Southern Pacilic. Amalgamated Copper, People's Gas and Twin Citv Rapul Transit, and advise their purchase. Th Steel stocks will Improve. Manhattan and Brooklyn Rapid Transit are a pur. chase. Work on trie long side of St. Paul. Union Pacilic. Pennsylvania.. Louisville S Nashville and Southern Railway. The bear movement is over and a ccuiMideraltl. rally is in order. Take proilts on bultres and buy back on recessions, as It is still only a traders' market. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH. New York Stocks. New York.Aug. 13. Wall Street. A con tinuation of yesterday's late rise contin ued in the stock market and the improve ment was assisted by an advance in tha London market. St. Paul led the railroad group with a rise of 1 points. United States Steel stocks were advanced Ji point for the pre ferred and point for the common, the latter selling from to 44 on purchases of 5,000 shares. Union Pacilic was delt in for 4.0O0 shares simultaneous! v at from HcJH to 961;. compared with 958. larft night's close. SiiKar apened unchanged, but soon ran off points, influencing tlu general market. Profit taking depressed the market slightly, but there was a general rally later to above opening prices. The rise started in the eastern trunk line stocks, but later extended to the grain carrying roads, and St. Paid rose 21, points. Th United States Steel stocks moved narrow ly and irregularly. The preferred got up to 93?a, but the common ruled under 44. Sugar lost 2 points and rallied 1. A large demand arose for Pennsylvania, New York Central, CanHdian Pacific. I'l inois Central and Baltimore Chic whir: advanced them from li to 3ni points, with New York Central leading. This atrenKth encouraged the bulls to bid up the grairt carrying roads and they reached the besc prices of the day. St. Paid a.nd Atchison advanced over 2 points. The United States Steel stocks did not sympathize with the movement and ruled at the lowest. The market became very dull toward 2 o'clock and ea.sed off. Stocks yielded again when St. Paut reacted a point. iiitumlnous coal road stocks then came into general demand, Norfolk fe Western crossed 53. The mar ket otherwise was dull and steMdier at noon. United States Steel stocks were quiet and did not vary much. Bonds were firm. Western and Pacific stocks weakened and the latter group lost all of their earlier gains. Industrials also declined In sympathy with selling of Sugar and Peo ple's Gas. The United States Steel stocks fell ii point each from the highest. Prices were rising again at 1 o'clock.

TOPEKA STATE JOURXAIj, TUESDAY EYEXING. AUGUST 13, 1901. OilE-THiBO CROP. That Is What May Is -Making in Shawnee. FarmersAre Now Easj Harvest ing the Crop. THE PRICES ARE HIGH. 2iach Hay Will Ee Shipped In to Topeka. This 3Iay Keep Feed From Being Dear as Gold. Maui Mu'.ler is it. The hay season is at its height. All the farmers in Shaw nee county are cutting down tne prev ious blasts of grass and putting them in saf deposit vaults. It it ?nrally believed that just at the present tii" the hay rark-t in Topeka. has r-av!;e-J the lowest point it is likely tw re act: this ye.tr. And today t: i -rice to trorn $10 to $14 a ton, de .ending on cuaiity: If $14 is the low ebb, it makes one dizzy tj think what hay wiil go to before the next crop to ready fur the mowing. H.-.y in Shawnee count v will make 1-ss than a. .bird crop. This is what the farmers ray, and they know, be cause they are actually weag'd just now in harvesting- the crop. shawn-..-e county is one of the largest hay pro ducing count!- in the state. On some of the bottom lands in the county a second crop of hay will be 1 ,rv i s t in S- r. Th- amount of hay whkn can be se cured at the second harvest dej-ii-ts partly u?o:i th-- amount of rain which fulls "during the rt of the sumtn-r. ar.'i partly .n the lateness of the tr.-sts. If the f;,U Is i.,te this elir. the s-COlld crop will be t.oo-1. Th-re will be no s-vr. i cro: on t::e uplands. Kv-n now the hay cm the uplands is getting dark." as the f irmers say. That means that the ends of the grass are wifh.erir.e. Hay nsust be ,ut be tween the last ot July an.1 the '---'th of A ueu st to b bright an 1 green and comma ml the hmh-st prices. The-re are some extensive hay farm ers who think that Top-ka wiU receive su- h Ure consignments of hay from other pa:ts of th- state that tn- p: ice will be hamm-r-d d,.wn here t-mco-r,ii!v to a stili lu:-r p-.irt than f! ani $.4 a ton. Anions- the is J. F. Snyd-r. who has on- of the lare-st hay farms i- the county. Mr. Snyder cuts hay from 320 acres of lard, ani expec ts this vear to get about lot) tons, tv hereas the normal crop is S'.-'J tons. Mr. Snyder says: 'I think that thr will be an im mense umount of hay shipped into To petta this fall. I have had several in-quiri-a f r, im large hay raisers in the vicinity of Cham. re and Fort Scott In quiring about the hx-al market. Hay raisrs -.a 1 rather ship hay to Topeka than to Kansas City, because if they ship to Kansas City they have to pay th inspection fees, and have to ship hav- which will reach a very fcigh srrade. Kansas City eludes hay tnu. h hisrr.er tlian any oth-r western market, and fanners do not like to t.ike th" risk of shicpinH- to such a market. Th,-- nat ural tendency will be to ship to Topeka. and I think that the result will be that hav will remain at reasonable prices her- "Will not the farmers in this county 1 1 their hay ss much as possible and wait for higher prices later in the sea son "I hardly think they will do that to any unusual extent." said Mr. Sr.yd-r.

The government report of the condi tions in Kansas for the week ending August 10, shows that the state has raided from the drouth. g-ood rains have fallen, the temperatures have not been so high by from 10 to 13 decrees, heavy dews has been recorded and the eastern and western counties have greatly im proved. The following is from the govern iricnt climate ami crop report: GENERAL, CONDITION'S. The temperature has been cooler, av eraging for the st-te 6 degrees lower than last week. Good rains have fallen over nearly trie whole of the eastern and western divisions, and in the cen tral counties of the middle. Good dews have been frecjuent. EASTERN" DIVISION. The improved conditions of last week have continued through this. Fodder cutting- was discontinued as it was too green. Late corn lias improved: it is tasseiing and silking in Shawnee. Prai rie grass has started, and is growing rapiuly. giving promise of a good sec ond crop of hay. Pastures are greatly improved. Late peaches and w inter ap ples are improving. Home gro'A n peaches are now on the market. Grapes are growing well in Morris and Shaw nee. Gardens are improving. Forage crops are crowing rapidly. The ground is generally in fine condition, and plowing- is being pushed. Wheat and rye have been sown for pasturage, and for age crops for feed. Allen County Everything changed for the better: corn cutting has stopped and plowing for wheat begun: some fields of corn will make from 10 to bushels p-er acre, while many fields will yield no corn: a large acreage of for age has been sown. Atchison Cooler: rain not sufficient for plowing; fodder keeping green, pas tures need more rain to start sufficient ly for stock: late corn may make a lit tle w ith more rain soon, but with best conditions possible crop will be small: apples will be light. Chautauqua Rain sufficient: stock water abundant: new potatoes, peas, beans, and ali other garden vegetables growing rapidly; plenty of forage for cattle for winter. Cherokee Ground !n fine condition: fall plowing- will progress rapidly; ac reage of wheat wiil be largely increas ed: a good cutting of prairie hay wiil be secured: corn does not promise over one-third crop; liite peaches promise well. Coney Conditions much improved: corn greatly revived and will make some grain yet: all fodder crops grow ing rapidly pastures good, but little stock water: will be plenty of feed to winter stock: much Katfir corn and cane planted since the rains; ground fine for p-lowing.

Physician Offers $50 to Each Person Bequeathing Him His Corpse. Chicago, Aug. 13. Dr. L. C. H. B.

The physician says he has made an important surgical discovery in a method of operating painlessly and without the use of anaesthetics. To set forth his discovery to the medical world he is writing a book. He needs 400 half-tone illustrations in the big vol ume to show the practical applications of his theory. Having found it Impossible to ob tain satisfactory photographs of actual operations on living subjects, he says he intends to go through the motions and get bodies so the poses, incisions and methods may be accurately dis played. In his advertisement Dr. Ziegler says a corpse will "be treated as a sacred vehicle which has performed all its earthly functions, and which no longer holds its spiritual inhabitant within its carnate walls. The subject will re ceive precisely the same tender care and consideration as if a member cf my own family." TIGHTS AID CHURCH FUND. Strenuous Beauty Show Advertised by Congregational Maids. Chicago.

John McGraw was in the city yesterday with the Orioles, who played in Hoboken. Mc Graw had a few words to say about Ban Johnson's reported threat to throw Baltimore out of the American league. "Johnson has no p-ower whatever in the matter," said McGraw. "The Ameri can league clubs are working under an iron-clad agreement and it requires a unanimous vote to drop a club. I think Johnson himself has a better chance of being dropped than Baltimore has. My team still has a fighting chance to win the pennant and that is what we are aiming at.

Young Men Amiss and Maidens Are Teaching Them. Mackinac Island, Mich., Aug. 13. Summer girls always like to dance, but the gossipers say they have not been having the most enjoyable times possi ble in the ballrooms so far this season. It's not because there has been a lack of young men, but, alasi because those young men don't know how to dance. Their two steps look more like wrest ling matches than anything else, say the girls, who are nursing bruises on their toes. Better times are in prospect. Some of the more kindly disposed maidens have started a reform and are giving the youths with awkward feet lessons on the side. LINN AND HORTOII.

Goethe Tlie most eminent critics have placed three mortals on the summit of Parnassus Homer, Shakespeare, and Goethe. Alreadr the 3'oungest of the three obtains a full share of reverence and devotion. Poets, Philosophers, Statesmen, Historians, Scientists, and all other classes of thinkers and brain-workers, have honored themselves by honoring him. Sir Walter Scott and Carlyle were proud to translate several of his works into English and Scott and Victor Hugo did not disdain, and confessedly, to adapt Goethe's creations into their own works such were his originality and fertility. Had he written no other work than Faust, which, in its dramatic and oper atic versions, is constantly entrancing the whole world, he would have fitted himself for the world's immortality. The edition about to be issued will contain the works of the great genius in translations faithfully and wTell made, and with several hundred illustrations by the lov ing and capable hands of his countrymen. A cop- of the charming Life written for this edition by the late Professor Boyesen, of Cornell University, will be sent to all who are interested in Goethe. GEORGE BARREE SON 1 3 13 Walnut Street. agents wanted TO KEVISE LAWS. Chairman of TJ. S. Code Commission at Atlantic City. Atlantic City. Is. J., Aug. 13 Alex ander C. Jiotkin. of Montana, chairman of the United States code commission, has arrived here to spend several weeks. Mr. Botkln Is accompanied by his stenographer, and devotes a portion of each day of his vacation to official labors. The duty of the code commis sion includes the revision of all the laws of the United States of a. general and perrsanent nature, but It is at present engaged in pursuance of the special direction of congress in revising the laws relating to the organization, jurisdiction and practice of the federal courts. In an interview Commissioner Botkin said "'The commission will recommend a number of more or less radical changes. The most important of these is the consolidation of all original jurisdiction in the United States district court, and making the circuit court take the place of the present circuit court of appeals aa the intermediate court of review. If the changes proposed are adopted by congress, judges of the circuit court will be wholly relieved of the trial of cases in the first instance, and will perform only the duties attaching to a.n appellate court. Various changes in practice will also be embodied in the report of the commission in the inter est of uniformity, simplicity and con venience." Mr. Rotkin believes that the commis sion will be sble to report the revision of the judiciary title before the next session of congress. It recently sub mitted a project for a United States penal code which is designed to cover the numerous omissions and defects ill the present criminal laws. WHITNEY'S COLTS. Favorite For the $50,000 Purse at Sheepshead Bay. New York, Aug. 13. With the race for the futurity stakes at Sheepshead "Bay now less than three weeks off the outlook for that event has changed lit tie, except that horsemen who at Brigh ton Beach were inclined to concede the race to Vm. Whitney's $50, OH) colt, now are beginning to believe that if Sir. Whitney cannot win with Nasturtium he can win with Goldsmith, says the .Times. A number of much talked of futurity colts have appeared at Saratoga in the week of racing there, but aside from John E. Madden's Yankee, twice a win ner at Saratoga, none seems to have more than a remote chance to beat Nasturtium, and even Yankee's chance is not very highly thought of. Gold unit h's victory over Blue Girl in the Saratoga special directed attention to that colt and as she has been improving steadily since early spring. Goldsmith now is regarded as a strong second string for the Whitney stable. Even then the Whitney strength will not be all in the field, for in the big string of two years under Trainer J. W. Rogers' care is yet a third good colt in King Hanover, a well tried horse that caused much talk in the spring. John K. Madden seems to hold the next "troni;.t hand, with the great filly Biue Girl, and the at present un -urn is naturally a subject of wonder and worriment J to the young; mother. Happy and easy will she be if some kind friend tells her of the marvels, m of relief to be obtained by the use of E "r.Zai!iBia Friend' There is nothing in the world like this simple liniment, used externally.

Mackay. Madden also has Ely Wheel, Guns Fire, City Bank and Blackstoek, all eligible for the futurity, but from the plan of campaign adopted at Saratoga Madden seems to depend chiefly on Blue Girl and Yankee. J. B. Haggin and the Pepper stable both are numerously represented in the race and race track gossip has it that each stable is preparing a "dark one,1' though none of the 2 year olds from either establishment has raced in a style to suggest futurity possibilities. The other colts that have raced in the east and that have shown well enough to be considered as probable starters and possible winners, are S. S. Brown's Hyphen, August Belmont's Master Man, G. Walbaum's De Ressek, Wm. Lake land's Enright, G. B. Morris" Golden Cottage and Cunard, B. Schriber'a Dewey, G. E. Smith's Chilton, S. J. Smith's Northern Star.A.Featherstone's Hatazoo, and Jacob .Worth's Maxy Worth. None of the colts raced by Clarence H. Mackay in the spring seems good enough to Justify paying a starting fee for the futurity, and the Mackay sta bles only hope seems to be in Heno, the colt bought from J. E. Madden for a big price. There has been but slight mention of western horses so far for the coming futurity, and on the form that the western colts have shown, there seems small chance of any of them being dangerous. Vermont to Return to Her Station. New York. Aug. 13. It is not unlikely that the old receiving ship Vermont may be returned to her station at the Brooklyn navy yard and continue as the receiving ship, taking the place of the Columbia, recently ordered to re place her. The special board appointed by Hear Admiral Barker, consisting of Captain Snow, Lieutenant Commander Hall, Lieutenant Commander Bronaugh and Constructor Capps, has reported ag;tmst the proposed substitution of the cruiser Columbia for the Vermont as a receiving ship. They say it would be too expensive. The suggestion has been that the Vermont be thoroughly fumigated and put in good sanitary condition. Lot Sales in New Country. Washington, Aug. 13.

J IS! SSI If llWv v t A im, Ait Se SHOOTING IN SCOTLAND. Opening Day Shows Game Very Plen tiful. New York. Aug. 13. A dispatch from London ouotes the Glasgow Herald as saying that throughout the greater part of Scotland. August 12, as a day of shooting opened auspiciously as tar as the weather was concerned, but later in the day thunder and lightning were pretty reneral and in some ais tricts limited the shooting to a few hours. The condition of the moors was also wonderfully good, considering the severity of the thunder and rain storm of Saturday, for the wind and sun of Sunday had fairly dried up all traces of the downpour. Preliminary reports from the moors had given promise of excellent sport for they were almost unanimous in saying that this year's sportsmen would find better sport than lor some vears past, as everywhere the birds were in better trim, healthier, plumper and in more uniform condition than last year. This marked improvement is due to the absence of severe weather before and during nesting time and to the absence of heavy rainfalls after the hatching. There has been unusual rains on the moors this season. Practically none of the better class moors and forests will be tenantless, every good quarter hav ing been fixed up months ago. It appears also that the names of Americans figure more prominently in leases than usual. Mr. Sergeant Cram, of New York, has taken the north and south Dunbeath moors, Caithness, and will have for a near neighbor in the upper and lower forest Mr. W. P. Clyde, also of New York, but neither arrived in time for the opening day. Both are expected from New York this week, however. According to the Yorkshire Post, a large party of American ladies and gentlemen have arrived at Holwick hall by special train on the Middlesex-on-Tees Valley railroad, but it is defi nitely announced that Mr. E. C. Whit ney will not be in Teesdale during the shooting season. A LOVERS' QUARREL Man Left Home Never to Eeturn Taken Back in Coffln. Chicago. Aug. 13. A big Newfound land dog that drag-ged the body of John Werner from the lake solved one of the greatest mysteries that ever nuzzled the people of Kenosha, Wis. John Werner was drowned at the foot of Twentieth street. He was a son of Peter Werner, one of the best known citizens of the Wisconsin city, but Jhe romance that had played an important part in his life had been broken by a lovers quarrel, and he iert h-enosna fourteen years ago, declaring that he would never return. He kept his word until last evening, when a pine box took back to the Werner home the body of the eon who had been missing for so many years. All this time he had lived within 50 miles of his native town For years the Werner family had been searching for him. Three years ago the father, Peter Werner, died and left an estate. When the heirs sought to settle it in the courts advertisements were placed in the papers in all parts of the country, asking for some trace of John Werner, but if he saw the notices he was dumb to the appeals, and never wrote. An insurance policy was all that Identified the body. CROKEIi MYSTERIOUS. Will Not Let Sis Return Time to America Be Known. New York, Aug. 13. Says the Tri bune's London report: The villagers and tradesmen of Let combe are confident that Richard Cro ker will remain at Moat House until the end of September but his departure for America is not likely to be deferred more than a fortnight. One of his con fidential advisers states positively thHt Mr. Croker will sail about the middle of August to take charge of Democrat ic politics in New York. Mr. Croker delights to mislead every inquirer and keep his plans enveloped in mystery, but unless those usually in his confi dence are deceived he will leave Eng land about August 17. The master of Moat House finds progress and im provement at his Wantage estate diffi cult. Unexpected things are constant ly happening. When the huge basin for a lake was completed the water was let in experimentally to enable the workmen to judge whether the excava tions were of sufficient depth. When the lake was emptied against tii.eyol ume was too great for the bed of the stream and there was a flood of water in the house of Wantage, a mile and a half distant, in consequence of the overilow. The excavations were deep ened and the water was again let in. But the trout stream fed from the same springs as the lake shrivelled up and the fish were left high and dry. The entrance to Moat House is now a wide sweep of gravelled road with a massive wall surmounted by iron pal ings, and the land on either side is owned by Mr. Croker. ARE STILL MARRIED. Hany Leavenworth County Couplea In Odd Predicament. Leavenworth, Kan., Aug. 13. A num ber of people in Leavenworth county who no doubt thinks they are single are still technically bound by marriage ties. The judge may have granted a decree of divorce, but as long as the costs of the case remain unpaid the di vorce is not in force and the couple is still married. According to the ruling of the courts, a decree for divorce can not be entered upon the books of the district court until all costs connected with the proceedings are paid. A large number of people, who have been granted decrees in this county, have neglected to pay up and hence they are still bound by the ties of mat rimony, although many of them are la boring under the mistaken impression that they are still single.

Thomas, treas urer of General Carriage company, the receiver of the property of that corpor ation in this state. The appointment followed the appointment of a receiver in New Jersey. The General Carriage company has had a remarkable career as a corporation. It was capitalized at SL'O.OOO.OOO and at one time sold par $200 per share. It possessed a franchise which allowed it to operate upon any of the streets of the city. Among the stockholders were Richard Croker, Ed win Gould. Jos. Leiter.

Chicago Institution Loses $30, 000 by Sharp Work. Chicago, Aug. 13. It leaked out here today that one of the Chicago banks was recently swindled out of $30,000 in cash in a skillful manner. An effort is being made to keep the matter secret and not even the name of the bank is given. It seems that a depositor of several years standing appeared one day in the bank president's office with a draft on London for 6,000 which was perfectly good. The depositor in formed the president he desired to de posit his London draft, and at the same time to check against it, present ing his check for $30,000 for the presi dent to O. K. The latter put his initials on it and thought nothing of It. It seems, however, that the depositor went out into the bank and deposited his London draft and on the following day presented a check for $30,000 which was paid, the teller knowing that amount was to his credit on the books. Later in the day he again appeared at the window and presented the check for $30,000 which had been initialed by the president. This check was also paid, Nothing has since been seen of the depositor.

Rob the Express Car and the Passengers. St. Louis, Mo., Aug. 13. A special to the Post-Dispatch from Denison, Tex., says "Missouri, Kansas Texas passenger train No. 3 was held up near Caney, 32 miles north of Denison, at 3 a. m." Information received at the offices of the general superintendent of the Mis souri, Kansas Texas railroad in this city, in regard to the hold up is meagre. All that is known there is that five men boarded the train, which is a local, at Caney, while the engine was water ing. Caney consists of little else than a telegraph station and water tank. The men forced an entrance into the baggage and express car with dynamite, but it is not known how much booty they ob tained. The American express safe only contained a small amount of money, it is thought by the railway officials. After looting the baggage car, the rob bers turned their attention to the pas senger coaches, robbing the occupants. No statement as to the amount ob tained from thena is to be had. When the robbers left the train it proceeded south. The United States marshal was notified and immediately raised a posse and went after the robbers. It is be lieved by the officials of the Missouri, Kansas Texas railroad that the rob bers mistook the local for the "Katy Flyer," which follows No. 3 a little later. This train usually carries a big safe in the express car and a large number of through passengers. fillSS BEALS TALKS. Wichita Girl Tells About Her Lawton Experience. Wichita, Aug. 13. "I am well pleased with the claim I have secured," said Miss Mattie Helen Beals, who has just returned from Lawton. "Mr. Woods acted just as mean as he possibly could, in filing on the land immediate ly adjoining the townsite on the south. but he will be sorry before he gets through with it. My land will be just as valuable as his before a great while. If I was inclined to do so, I could pro bably make him considerable trouble, but the expense would be more than it is worth. Just before I left Lawton I was offered $25,000 for my claim, but I do not intend to sell it. In. about 60 days I shall go back there and have a house built. 'One advantage that I have over Mr. Woods is that there is running water on my claim, while there is none on hla His action caused a great deal of excitement at Lawton, and tfor awhile it looked as though serious trouble would result. Everybody was angry. My brother and I arrived at Lawton on Sunday, August 4. After consulting with my attorneys, we tried to have talk with Mr. Woods to rind out where he expected to file, but he refused to see us. His attorneys even refused to talk to mine. The nearest we came to talking to him was to have a conver sation with his father-in-law. Several threats were made that Woods would be roughly dealt with, but they were never carried out. Anyhow, l am sat isfied to let the matter rest as it is. My purpose has always been to secure a homestead rather than town lots. 'It was only a short time after my arrival in Lawton that people found out who I was. Whenever I went out on the street, I could hear people whisper to each other, 'That s Miss Real, who is No. 2.' Lawton is certain ly a city of tents. I slept in one all of the time I was there. There are prob ably 15.000 people in the city at present. They are scattered everywhere over the townsite and a great many nave lo cated on Woods' land. It is the queerest sight I ever saw. There are people of every nationality on tne giooe. When a reporter called at the Beal home on South Market street, he found Miss Beal deep in the midst of a pile of letters from all parts of the United States. 'Do you get any more than this at the office" she asked. "Every day I get from 10 to 20 letters, most of them from persons I never heard or Deiore. tiere is one from a man in Phiiaoeipnia.

K., writes from SOI Hamilton street, Chi cago, 111., the following: The Peruna Medicine Co., Columbtw.O. Gentlemen Every summer when the weather changes so suddenly I seem to catch one of those tedious colds. 1 have tried several remedies, but two years ago I tried Peruna and found it most efficacious. It cured me completely in six days. Last summer I had another attack. I at once took Peruna and in three days was well. I find that by taking it occasionally It keeps my system in a healthful con dition, and I therefore gladly endorse It. Mrs. Nellie Underwood." Summer colds, though not as fre quent as winter colds, very often prove more dangerous. At the first symp toms of catching Peruna should be ta ken. It is sure to stop the cold at onr, and save needless suffering, and per haps catarrh. Peruna as an internal, systemic rem edy acts promptly on the inflamed mu cous membranes wherever the cold lias Settled. It strikes at the root of the matter, and thus cures promptly and permanently.
