FEDERAL OFFICIALS Combine For the Purpose of Making Money By the Admission of Chinese From Mexico. Washington, Aug. 24. The treasury orlieiuls have unearthed what they al lege is a wide conspiracy in Nogales, Ariz., to admit Chinese to the United States. Thus far the collector ut Nogales, William Hoey, and Deputy ar.d Chinese Inspector B. I". Joseph, Frank Pow and another Chinaman. who lives at Clifton, Ariz., have been ar rested. Other arrests will follow. It Is charged that the Chinese in large numbers have been permitted to cross the border upon the payment to the collector of anywhere from ICO to $200 a piece. Hoey was appointed about a year and a half ago from Indiana. It is stated that with two or three exceptions the whole customs and im migration administrations a t Nogales are involved. Some time aeo an otfic;al of tlie treasury department havi.ig Nogales as his headquarters wrote the department that he had reason to be lieve the ifi( ial force at that point was corrupt and that Chinese in large num bers were being smuggled across the border for a consideration. A secret service operative was sent there at once and plans laid to secure evidence ag-ainst the persons under suspicion. Several Chinamen were furnished with money and sent on to buy their way through the official cordon. This was accomplished without dirnVuHv, the price demanded being from $"0 to $2.N). The 'secret service men also arrange! with one or two employes whose hon esty had been tested to go into the col lector's office at a certain time and de mand a share of the money being re ceived from Chinamen, .nd to be ad mitted into the combination so that they might get their share of the pro ceeds of future deais. This was reluct antly agreed to and considerable sums of money were handed over in tile presence and full hearing of a secret service man w ho had previously secret ed himself in r. rearby office closet. THE LETTER "A." The officials soon found that Chinamen who present. -d a certiorate marked with the 1-tter A were aJiuwed to proceed with out qic-stiun, while those having certiti cates that did not bear this cabalistic, mark were turned back without cere mony, filter on it was developed that the letter A on a certificate indicated t hat the amount demanded had been paid. Several Chinamen were sent through with tlie requisite A mark on their certificates made r.v cup f.f the secret service men. The utmost care and secrecy was main tained Irom the first to secure positive proef against each man under suspicion. A special United States attorney will he detailed to prosecute tile person arrested. Hoey was appointed collector about a year and a half ago. His home is in Mun cie. Ind. Jossey came frurn the state of Washington. When IIik v received his ap pointment he came to Washington to re ceive instructions as to ids duties, and at that time Secretary Cage took occasion 1o talk with him on the subject of the duty of public officials. He' was cau tioned to avoid every temptation of wrong doing, and licit to a certain limited ex tent the iionor of the government was placed in ids hands. Secretary Gape ex plained that his predecessor at Xogalca jiao oeen u'spiactu necause ot certain al leged violations of the civil service rvil-s and regulations, and warned him that ins administration of the office must b at ad limes clean and above suspicion for his own honor and that of the country. Tl" number of Chinamen whieh have bought their way into the Cnitci States through the allege.) connivance of the No gales officials is not known, but it is be lieved to be large. A special aeent has been ordyed to Nogales to take chart of the on ice if he linos it necessary. HUEY'S ItECORD. Indianapolis, Ind.. Aug. 24. William Hoey. arrested at Xogales, in connec tion with Chinese frauds, was appoint ed from It unci. Ind. He is widely known among Republicans of the state. Ketore he went to Arizona Hoev teas foreman in a steel mill, and his no I'Ointment was regarded as. a recogni tion of the labor interests. NEGROES MUST LEAVE. A Citizens' Committee Orders Them Out of Sapulpa. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 24. A spcial to the Star from Sapulpa, I. T., says: A citizens' committee has decide 1 that all negroes not of Creek blood must leave Sa pupal by 5 p. m. Monday next and notices to this effect were posted around town today. It is said the committee is determined and will enforce the order. The negroes are meeting in groups on the streets, dis cussing the order and will probably re sist. A local banker has taken up their cause. The committee's order is tlie result of an influx of negroes from oth er towns and two felonious assaults by disreputable negroes in the last two weeks.

RUSH FOR HOME, Every Steamer From Europe Is Crowded With Passengers. London, Aug. 24. The usual end-of-the-summer congestion on the transat lantic steamers now prevails and it is practically impossible to secure a berth on any of the vessels until the end of September. The reconstructed Phila delphia, formerly the Peteris is out just in time to relieve the pressure, and is full-booked for her maiden voyage, as high a price as 150 pounds having been paid for suites on board of her. The Hamburg-American liner Deutsehland also is crowded. She sailed on Friday. It is said that no less than fiO passen gers were booked on her for one west ern city alone. Her passenger list in cluded a large number of Pittsburg manufacturers who had concluded a tour of Europe made for the purpose of investigating German and British steel plants. "We find in Pittsburg,"- said John K. Bryden, "that it is almost always nec essary to get fresh supplies of superin tendents from Dusseldorf and other German countries. So far as the strike is concerned, we all believe that the manufacturers, both in the trust and out of it, are too willing to pay fair wages to permit the men to long re main idle." Henry Fournier, the French automo bilist and Tod Sloan, who has become a chauffeur, who are aboard the Deut schland. not only intend to race with automobiles in the United States, but, it is understood, contemplate establish ment of a large factory in New York. Among the passengers sailing on the Cunard line steamer Campania from Liverpool today via Qtieenstown tomor row are Lord Strathcona and Mount Royal. Canadian high commissioner, and Lady Strathcona: W. G. Jameson, the well known amateur yachtsman, and Mrs. Jameson and Chief Justice ('liver Wendell Holmes of the supreme court of Massachusetts. ALL A B0 I T PROHIBITION. T. E. Stephens Book Has Been Pub lished. T. E. Stephens, the secretary of the State Temperance X'nion, has issued his l--r page book "Prohibition in Kansas." The book deals with all the phases of prohibition from the time the law went into effect until the advent and passing of Carrie Nation. Contributions are printed from J. Willis Gleed, Rev. Charles M. Sheldon, F. D. Coburn, James A. Troutman, W. A. White and others. Cut in Plato Glass Prices. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 24. A cut of 23 Per cent has been made in the prices on glazing quality plate glass by the National Plate Jobbers' association. This action was decided upon owing to the unsettled condition of the market and low prices ruling abroad. Decisive action was deerred necessary to check imports which were commencing to cut quite a figure in the American market. The discounts formerly ruling in the east were seventy-five off the list. They are now eighty. In the middle west former discounts were 70 and 72. They now- are 75 and 10. A corresponding re duction has been made in all sections of the country. POLITICAL GOSSIP Albert lleid Wants to Be St. Louis Fair Commissioner. Brilliant Young Artist May Be Pushed Aside. NOT IN THE CROWD. Want Old Tried Politicians For the Places. Merit Doesn't Count Much ii the Selection. Governor Stanley and Albert T. Reid are out of tune over the artist's ambi tion to be a member of the Kansas commission fopthe St. Louis exposi tion. Reid was second in the growing list of thirty odd that have their appli cations on file. But that does not as sure him, or the others, of reaching the desired distinction. There are five "suitable persons" to be appointed by the governor next month, "who shall be selected entirely with regard to their familiarity with the resources, arts and products of the state, business ex perience and executive skill," Not all of these live appear in the present list of candidates. Unless something else comes his way, it is pretty generally conceded State Senator John C. Car penter will be one of the commission ers, and Senator Cal Morrow may be another. Caj-penter guided the fair ap propriation bill through tortuous legis lative channels, and was instrumental in getting the appropriation increased from $50,000 to 7a,000. Something seems to be due Morrow also. Reid's friends were told, when they urged his cause before the governor, that there were older men in the lists with strong calls on the places. They take this to mean Carpenter, Morrow, perhaps John Francis and Senator R. T. Simon. While Reid is not set up as a politician when such are around, they say he is "some" for a young man. and has the endorsements of nearly all the state senators. They recall the expe rience of Kansas with the Chicago World's Fair, with its political boards that were changed w ith the complexion of the administration and their scan dals. They claim the World's Fair ex hibit could have been improved, espe cially in its artistic qualities, and the suggestion is obvious. Act. they say, as a calling, asks for a place alongside wheat, corn, potatoes, apples and pumpkins, of agriculture; Galena lead. Iola bricks, and plowshare castings, of mines and industry. They still have some hopes of winning in the tourna ment with their Black Douglas, Reid, the composer and inoffensive cartoon ist. These candidates have been entered in the list for prospective appoint ments: W. E. Blackburn, Anthony, Harper county. Albert T. Reid, Topeka, Shawnee. D. Ainsworth, Phoenix, Arizona. F. 13. Johnson, Hays City, Ellis. John Francis, Colony, Allen. J. M. Knapp, WTichita, Sedgwick. R. T. Simons, Wellington, Sumner. W. B. Stone, Galena, Cherokee. B. P. McDonald. Fort Scott, Bourbon.

Kansas politicians are going the rounds of the reunions and things look very well, thank you. considering the drought and the off-year in politics. The state house will send a full delega tion to the interstate reunion at Bax ter Springs next Wednesday and Andy Richards has his arms open to receive the crowd at Wellington on September 24th. "Manager Haughey," he says, "has received letters of response to his invitation, from all the members of the Kansas congressional delegation except Congressman Curtis signifying their pleasure in attending the Sumner county wheat carnival on congressional day. "For Governors' day Governor Stanley, ex-Governors Morrill. St. John and Glick have accepted the invitation of the Jubilee committee and will be here. Senators Burton and Harris will come, and ex-Senator Martin says he will come if his engagements permit." Granville Lee Hudkins, of Cawker City, is likely to be the fusion candidate for congress in tne s-uxtn district, the Leader says, and "hopes" that Mr. Hudkins will have better luck in poli tics than he had in boring for oil at Cawker City. How many in the political swim, do not know Bill Fisher? None. How many know the siae of his waist measure? Same number. Fisher from Holton? Tes, that's the same Fisher. He's a big figure in politics? Bigger than Grover Cleveland; his girth is Just six feet- W'ho held the string to find it out? Thereby hangs a tale. William Fisher. Esq.. of Holton, is one of the many Kansans to whom the allurement of Colorado's summer re sorts has proven an irresistible magnet. He has been lolling around Manitou for several weeks. He likes it so well and the changed climate has so strength ened his invalid son that he has bought a residence for the young man in Colo rado City and a building lot on the main street to be improved for business purposes. Mr. Fisher is beguiled by the attractions that the resort furnishes no less than other Kansans, and he had not been long a-mingling with the throng than he desired to be in the swim, literally. In short, Mr. Fisher wanted to take in the baths. At the natatorium disappointment a.waited him. There was not in the copious, re splendent assortment in the natatorium wardrobe a bathing suit jrenerous enough to encase the Holton mans robust dimensions. "The children at the hotel, with whom Fisher is a fast friend, knew of the difficulty among the first. They set about to "find a way, and succeeded much more quickly than the minority parties of Kansas in their hunt for a fusion scheme. The young sters started a collection" among them selves to buy their friend a bathing suit. Their total collections amounted to something like the magnificent-sum of 37 cents. But when they went to him with this it tickeld the big man so hugely that he furnished the dollars to go with it. One youngster held the tape while another ran, around and marked off 72 inches. Then they ran off and bought a roll of cloth and had the suit made. Now Fisher and his little friends take their dips regularly in the nata torium. And the burros in their stable on the hillside a block away, whom a cannon's roar at five paces would not disturb ordinarily, are said to blink their ears at the splashing. An effort is being made by some of the Republican leaders in the state to iron things out so that Colonel J. C. Carpenter of Chanute can secure the nomination for congress. Hardly a county in the district but what was torn by faction over this very nomina tion in the recent past. If a nomina tion were secured by acclamation, the Republican nominee would be given much prestige and make it go hard for A. M. Jackson to be returned by the fusionists. The Third district has had but little attention in the forecasts for the make up of the next state ticket. It is not asking for any places at present as boldly as the short grass counties are trotting out their candidates, but it is predicted that if Secator Burton and his friends have their say State Auditor Cole's successor will be another Third district man. Major J. B. Remington is half in the notion of entering the gubernatorial fight. If he keeps hands off absolutely it will be because Tom Kelly has Miami county tucked away in his pocket for state treasurer. Kelly's call on the Sec ond district to back bim for the state treasurer nomination could not be bet ter and the only one so far who has shown an inclination to want a share of it is J. S. West as a stepping stone to the attorney generalship. Every time there is the least sign of a break reported anywhere in the ranks, H. N. Gaines makes a rush for his writing machine for a long gallop with the shift-key down. Amid the capital letter and highly punctuated exhortations to not give up the ship and above all do not forget to get up a club of subscribers a few tears are inter mingled that drip, drip from the end of a badly chewed pencil. Perhaps a dol lar does come back to help the cause along, but that is only a secondary gloat. The brand snatched from the burning is the real thing of beauty and joy forever. When Dr. J. B. Dykes accepted an ap pointment to the state board of health at the hands of the present administra tion every little pop-gun shot a paper wad at the Smith county physician. Accordingly, hands are again expected to go up in holy horror at. this whisper let loose by a friend of the doctor's a day or two since: "Dr. John B. Dykes, of Smith county, late a candidate on the Populist ticket for congress, can see but little difference between the Re publican and Democratic parties in the Sixth district. And, as between them, he will vote with the Republicans. He came to this conclusion after he heard the returns from his race for congress." GOING HOME TO DIE. Brighara Young's First Wifa Return ing to Salt Lake. Helena, Mont., Aug. .24. Mrs. Zina Toung, first wife of the late Mormon apostle, Brigham Young, passed through Helena en route to Salt Lake City. Mrs. Toung is in a dying condi tion fro-n a stroke of paralysis, and it is doubtful if she will be able to reach Salt Lake City alive. She was stricken yesterday at the home of her daugh ter, near the Canadian border, and her last request before losing consciousness was that she be taken to her old home to die. She is nearly SO years of age, and for more than 50 years has been prominent in the Mormon church, until recently being the head of the Mormon relief committee. HINDEN WILL PAY. Man Who Smashed Br. Minney's Au tomobile Will Pay For Repairs. Dr. J. F. Hinden, of Berrytorr, has the following explanation to make of the automobile accident which happened last Sunday at the Coultis home near Berry ton. "Dr. Geo. Minney and Dr. C. B. Cass came out to spend the day with me," said Hinden. "After dinner, we started to the Coultis grove. We stopped at the Coultis house, and I remained in the vehicle while Minney and Cass went to get a drink. 1 remarked to Minney I .ould turn around. I made the turn all right. When I turned on the steam I let on too much, which started the nnachine too rapidly, and when I want ed to shut it off I made a mistake and pushed the throttle the wrong way, so in consequence it got away from me. Had it been anywhere but where there were trees and buildings I would not have had any mishap. Of course it has happened, and I am subject to a great deal of ridicule, which does not cost anything. While I am somewhat wiser I am not in the least bluffed out I in tend to own an automobile in the fu ture." Dr. Hinden will pay the bill for re pairs to the machine. DEATHS AND FUNERALS. The funeral of George Boley who died Friday will be held Monday morning at 10 o'clock at St. Joseph's church at the corner of Third and Van Buren streets. Mr. Boley lived eight miles south of Topeka. on the Burlingame road. He was 76 years old. Mrs. Caroline Taylor, formerly of Topek died at Bellvue hospital in Kansas City Thursday, at the age of 76 years. The funeral was held at Kansas City, but the remains were brought to Topeka and interred yesterday. Weather Indications. Chicago, Aug. 24.

Flagler to Miss Mary Lily Kenan took place today at Kenansville, N. C, and was witnessed by a small party of friends. A special train bearing Mr. Flagler and the wed ding guests, left this city at 7 o'clock this morning and arrived at Warsaw, a distance of 55 miles, in sixty minutes. The party from Wilmington consisted of Mr. Flagler and his attorney, Mr. Ashley of New York; Mr. and Mrs. Wr. A. Dick, Captain and Mrs. E. W.

Kenan, jr., and his sister, arrived at Kenans ville yesterday, the bride's mother and another sister, Mrs. J. C. Wise, of Macon, Ga., having preceded them by several days. The old home, colonial in structure, was profusely decorated with a wealth of plants and flowers and presented a scene of grandeur. Selections were played by an orchestra from Wilmington before and after the ceremony. Hundreds of costly wedding presents were in evidence and telegrams of congratulations were showered upon the couple. Among the tel egrams was one from Mr. and Mrs. Pem broke Jones, dated from Newport. Imme diately upon the conclusion of trie cere mony Mr. and Mrs. Flagler left on a Special train. They are bound for Mam ronicu, on the Hudson, via New York. DEFY THEG0URT. Strikers Continue to Picket in Face of Injunction. Chicago, Aug. 24. The molders now on a strike at the Allis-Chalmer foundry here who were yesterday enjoined from picketing the grounds of the Allis plant by an order from Judge Kohlsaat are openly defying the injunction today by having out a line of pickets. Business Agent Phillips of the molders union said: "We do not care for any iniunction which will deprive us of our rights as American citizens and will keep on picket ing the Allis-Chalmer plant as we have done in the past." Strike leaders maintain that Judge Kohlsaat's injunction is non-operative in tYtfir cn urn tttica.iisiA thpv !!.rp OKine jfct w violence. IN KANSAS 1350 DOCTORS. Medical Board Completes Work and Adjourns. The state medical board adjourned last night to meet again the first Tues day in October. The new law goes in to effect September 1. The board will not have all the certificates issued, but the presence of the application in the hands of the board will stay the penalty until the work can be completed. One thousand three hundred and fifty certificates of license to practice have been issued; 1,300 were on diplomas pre sented. The work of licensing the seven-year men goes slower, as there are more data- to be gone through. At noon today the board's financial secretary issued the 2.300th receipt for application fee to Dr. R. E. Buckmaster of this city. Doctors were coming in with diplomas quite promiscuously to day who had neglected to attend to the matter before. The bulk of the thousand applica tions yet to be issued licenses by the board are the seven-year practice men. Twenty-two out of 24 doctors were successful at the written examina tions. THE CZAR'S COMING Gives Rise to Much Speculation in French Political Circles. New York, Aug. 24. A Berlin dis patch to the Herald quotes a high Ger man official as follows: "When the French government heard rumors of a possible meeting of the kaiser and the czar, it made every pos sible effort to induce the czar to come also to France. "There is no doubt that the accept ance of President Loubet's invitation by the czar is a great success for the Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet, which i3 now identical with the republic. We don't think that the czar's visit is in any way directed against Germany. If it is directed against anything, it Is, first and foremost, against the oppon ents of the Waldeck-Rousseau cabinet and the adversaries of the republic. "However, it is not impossible that the Chauvinist elements, in order to hide their defeat from the French peo ple, will try to draw- the czar into some anti-German or perhaps anti-Englisn demonstration. "But," he added with sharp empha sis, "as far as Germany is concerned, we are persuaded that the czar will never let himself be drawn into an anti-German manifestation." Succession Still Unsettled. Chicago. Aug. 24. It was authorita tively denied by the trustees of North western university today that Dr. W. J. Bashford, president of the Ohio Wresleyan university, had been offered the presidency of the Evanston institu tion. Dr. Bashford's name, it is stated has, like a number of others, been con sidered, but the matter of a successor to Dr. Henry Wade Rogers is still un settled. Dr. Ba&hford spent today with Wrilliam Deering, president of the board of trustees of Northwestern university, and later took a train for home. "Some of these missionaries out here." said the heathen, "are regular birds." "Yes, birds of pray," remarked the other significantly. Philadelphia Record. WIFE BUT ONE DAY. Married a Man About to Go Under Surgeon's Knife. Atlantic City, N. J., Aug. 24. Quar termaster Joseph Matthews, of the Uni ted States cruiser Newark, who was married yesterday to Miss Eva Sain of Camden, shortly before undergoing an operation, died early today at the hos pital here. Matthews had recently returned from the Philippines. He came here for a brief vacation and while bathing last Sunday dived from the board walk into two feet of water. His head struck the sand and his spine was badly injured. Matthews was engaged to marry Miss Sain and on being informd that he was not likely to survive the operation he sent for his fiancee and they were married. PEOPLE EXCITED. Threaten to Destroy the Filthy City Dump. Guard Appointed to Watch the Nuisance. There is such violent opposition among the people of Oakland and vicinity to the proposed re-establishment of the city dump that City Physi cian Judd has appointed William Cole to stay at the dump at night to protect it from the assault of enraged citizens. Cole has been sworn in as a deputy sheriff. 4 Threats are being freely made among the people living near the dump that it will never be used by the city. They say they will burn it to the ground be fore they permit the city to pollute the atmosphere of that community. The old dumping apparatus was in such bad shape ii:at it will likely be Tuesday before any dumping can be done with it. The dun ping bucket will carry about ten barrels at a load. It takes a long time to run the bucket out on the wire and drag it back again. It is all done by hand. Councilman Griley said today: "Some of the Second ward people have been inclined to blame me for not fighting the location of the dump where it is to be. I was opposed to this move from the first, and fought it. But I found that the majority of the council was in favor of it, and would pass it anyway, so I went personally to every member of the council and secured promises to have the thing moved as soon as the present rush is over with. People out in the vicinity of the dump are very much excited, and I do not believe they will allow the city to dump its refuse there." Councilman Nichols has a proposition from two -veil known and wealthy business men of Topeka to establish a erenatory. The proposition will be presented at the next meeting of the council. "The men who are back of this prop osition." said Mr. Nichols, "have good financial standing. They propose to build a plant which will work; which will always give satisfaction. They will give a surety bond for the faithful per formance of their contract. They agree to burn everything, and put nothing into the river except the liquids. All they ask is that they be given a franchise for some years, so that they will not be made the victim of political juggling by a board of health like the present one. They can not afford to risk being interfered with if they invest the amount of money they wish to invest." SHOWMEN FALL OUT. Sterne and Sells Factions Cannot Agree. There has been a split in the biggest show on earth and consequently there are two. Allan Sells, Jr., is still proprietor of the old original and Conrad Sterne i the head of the new organization. The split occurred Friday and Mr. Sterne and his followers captured the bass drum and started a show of their own in the back yard of W E. Sterne's resi dence at Ninth and Kansas avenue. Allan Sells and his followers stayed on the original lot in the rear of the Sells' home at 719 Quincy street. WILL LELAND S REPUDIATION. This morning Will Leland prepared the following statement for publica tion: Topeka, Kan.. Aug. 24, 1901. To the Editor of the State Journal. I wish to correct a statement pub lished in the morning paper regarding my connection with the Sells-Sterne's circus. I never have been connected with the show in any manner whatever, and only attended one entertainment, and then paid my admission as other spectators did and witnessed the one performance of last evening. Respectfully, (Signed) WILL LELAND. Mr. Sterne's tent was packed at the performance last night. The treasurer was busy selling tickets at a penny a piece. The showmen thought there were 150 people waiting to see the show but the treasurer turned in only 69 cents. "That was right, though," said young Mr .Sterne', "for we threw the treasurer down and searched him and that was all he had." The Sells show also had a large audi ence, $1.64 being netted. MRS.

Items of Interest From the World of Sport. Read;i!!e, Mass., Aug. 24. With five events on the card and every one clear ed up, the Grand circuit -week came to a close yesterday afternoon. Every race -with the exception of that for the Neponnet stake went in straight heats The Neponset stake brought out the 2:10 class pacers, including Sphinx S. the New York gelding, who was the victor, and Fred S. Wedgewooci, anoth er New York pacer, who set the talent talking by marching- away with th. first two l:eats. He did not hold out, however, but broke badly in the third heat, and was distanced by the judges in the fourth. It was easy for Sphinx S. in those two heats and also in the last. Perhaps the chief interest of the af ternoon was attached to what Boralma might do in the 2:08 class trot for a purse of $2,500. The Liiwson gelding did nothing wonderful, but equaled his record time of 2:U7V. and won with ease from The Monk, Kingmond and TotrgUs. Boralma won the pole in the first heat and iemained in possession a:l around. Kingmond tried to give him a race and stayed with him until the three-ijuarters, when, being at Boral ma's suiky wheel, he lost his feet. Then The Monk proceeded to give Boralma a. brush but. never got within a length of him. In the second heat Horalma at the start was several feet behind his comrades. 11? soon went into the lead and was only pushed in the home stretch, when The Monk came up as far as P.oraltna's saddle as they went under th? wire. For a Rcltlras who had the field as-aints him. Fug did not show practi cal appreciation of the honor given him in the 2:lt class trot. Maurice won the event in three straight heats! In the 2:19 class pace Terrace Queen gave a creditable performance, cover ing the mile in 2:113a. This was In her second heat. The 2:11 class pace was a procession in each heat, Reuben S. leading, with always a big gap between him and Miss Gertrude, and always a gap be tween the mare and Caramalita. The money goes as named. It was announced that on next Fri day at Providence Creseeus would at tempt to lower the world's record. FIGHT TO A DRAW. Georga Dixon Fail to Put Out Abe Attell. Denver, Col., Aug. 24. George Dixon and Abe Audi, of San Francisco, fought ten rounds to a draw at Colli siuni hall here last night. Up to the last round the tight was practically a sparring contest. Only once or twice did the nien undertake to mix it up, and when they did neither had the ad vantage. In the tenth, however, they went at each other with a vengeance nd in this round Fixnn appeared to land two blows to Attell's one. Several fuiu'lii's on the jaw staggered the little Califoi nian. The only knock down oc curred about a minute after the start of the first round, when Attell was tum bled over from a straight right to the jaw. It was not the force of the blow that floored him but the suddenness of it caught him off his hala nee. The only preliminary of the night was between Philadelphia Tommy Ryan Hnd Joe Cotton, colored, of Cali fornia. Cotton was fearfully punished for ten rounds but stood up well under It and Referee, Knglish called it a draw. TEN CLUBS NEST YEAR. The Western League Circuit Iilay Ba Enlarged. St. .Tos.-ph, Mo..

The Amateur Golf Champion Has Re turned From England. New York. Aug. 24. Walter J. Tra vis, amateur golf champion of the United States, has returned from a golfing pilgrimage of six weeks through Scotland and Lngland. 'There are more good players In Great Britain than here," said Mr. Tra vis, "but they have a vast army to cull from. On the long game I do not think they lead us any, but they beat the world on approaching .and putting. It is hard to compare the best men of the two countries, for tiie links really re quire quite different methods. A team of our best men would be beaten In Kngland or Scotland, but we would beat a team from either country if they came here." PLANS CHANGED.

The prospect for football at Kansas university this fall s not as promising as the followers of the game would desire. Oeneral Manager Foster has tielinite information that few of the old players will retarn. Jenkinson and Alphin are the only men sure to come back. Jenkinson is a good man, but Al phin is new to the game, having played last year for the first time. Algie's resig nation as captain, coupled with the lack of old material en the team, will neces sarily resclt in the election of a man new to the game to the place. Coach Outiand is sancuine of developing a strong team, even from new material. If the right men try for the places. The trip to Wisconsin i3 one of the best ever arranged for the team, end will attract many men who may develop good quali ties. The schedule hasbefn completed for six months, and induces games with four state nniversities. Missouri. Wisconsin. Nebraska and Texas, besides ten other games with strons minor teams. Corbett and Parker to Meet Denver, Aug. 24. A fight that will probably arouse more local interest than any that has taken place in Den ver for a long time will take place at the Colorado Athletic club late in Sep tember between Young Corbett and Kid Parker. There are no two men in Den ver who despise each other to such an extent as these two local pugilists, and a bout between them ought to be a fierce affair. The two with their man agers will meet today and try to ar range a match before Corbett goes to Chicago on Saturday. Corbett wants Parker to weigh in at 133 at the ring side, but Parker wants to do thisweight at 3 o'clock. It is almost assured that they will compromise their differences. Crosby and Gans Draw.

'A 1 '--1- ""Vi, -'S t V ,.,s (ANSAS NEWS, W. B. Shockley to Retire as Treasurer of Soldiers' Home. His Resignation Will Go Into Effect Jsext Week. END OF THE FEUD. Supposed That This Will Put an End to Rome Trouble. Items of Interest From All Over Kansas. Leavenworth, Aug. 24. On the last day of the month Major W. B. Shock ley ceases to be an officer of the West ern Branch, National Home for Dis abled Volunteer Soldiers. He was ap pointed treasurer of the branch upon its establishment, in 18S5. Major Shockley's resignation was se cured when he was promised to be per mitted to name his own successor. This he did in the person of Colonel W. W. Martin of Fort Scott. During the many years of Major Shockley's incumbency of the office of treasurer his official life was clouded with storms of intrigue, conspiracies, turmoil and dissatisfaction among the members of the home. If narrated in book form they would make an in teresting chapter of Kansas history. There were many investigations by the board of managers and, finally, by con gress. Those responsible for these Investiga tions had but one object, the removal of A. J. Smith as its governor. He was not agreeable to the Kansas politicians. The late Senator Plumb opened the fire in the senate. His charges were in vestigated upon orders of the war de partment by General Alexander Mc Dowell MeCook, an officer of the army and retired as major general. Foiled at the first fire of their artillery the charges were renewed and increased in number. Members of the home who violated the rules of the institution and had been punished, were enlisted in fostering the conspiracy. Shockley as treasurer of the home, was in a position to do a great deal for or against Smith. To the latter he appeared always pleasant and "agree able," but it was known throughout the camp that he was leading the fight and was held largely responsible for the charges printed against the governor. The whole state became aroused. Smith's removal was "demanded." Dick Blue went to congress and the first move in the game was to prevent General W. B. Franklin's re-election to the board of managers. The board had always been loyal to Smith. Congress ordered the envestigation. It was con ducted in the fall of lSyt. Much testi mony was taken. Every charge of mis appropriating public funds was thor oughly investigated by expert account ants and not an item sustained. It was shown that Smith never handled a cent of money belonging to the home or its members. Every penny paid in or out passed through Shockley's hands. The report of the committee was long delayed. It did not make its appear ance until the latter part of February, 1S97. While the committee recom mended Smith's removal, it "did this regretfully, for they think him an able, well-meaning man, but such is the feel ing with the inmates and many of the subordinate officers of the home, and such the sense of injury which many feel on account of arbitrary and sum mary treatment at his hands, and so small a chance that Governor Smith could overcome the prejudice that ex ists against him, even if it were possi ble for him to change his course, that the committee are clear in their opinion that the good of trie home demands the change recommended." But the sting of the committee Is In that part of the report which recom mends that another treasurer be ap pointed, though nt charges of any kind were filed against him by Smith or any one else. The committee reachfed this conclusion after seeing and hearing the treasurer on the stand. The committee would not say "that all the disturbances In this brajich, which has called for these several In vestigations, is wholly due to Governor I Smith's administration. The treasurer, W. B. Shockley, against whom no com plaints were lodged with the commit tee, and with whom no fault was found in the discharge of his duties, is evi dently badly broken in health as a re sult of wounds received in the late war, which have sadly impaired his whole nervous system, and undoubtedly render him not an easy man to get along with. The relations between the governor and Major Shockley are de cidedly unfriendly, and how much of the tumult in the home may be due to this your committee can not say." It is in the following that the enemies of Smith were routed: "The office of treasurer of the home is a very responsible and arduous one, and requires the full powers, mental and physical, of a well man, and in view of Major Shockley's manifest nervous derangement the committee recommend that the duties of the office he committed to some one In firmer health. "Not only this, but In view of the general lack of harmony in which all the officers are to some extent involved, they have taken sides with more or less earnestness in the contest as to the merit of Governor Smith, which has really become chronic, your eoramtttee believes remaining, it would be unwise to entirely change or completely read just all th remaining officers of this branch, and so recommend." Smith was transferred to the Pacific branch, and its governor. Col. J. G. Bowland, brought here. A year ago Smith was appointed inspector general of the homes. In the meantime the board determined to rid itself of Shock ley. His unfitness for the place, as shown by the committee's report, had been so long a worry to the managers that they determined to enlist a few Kansas congressmen in their fight, and this was played in the re-election of the local manager,, Sidney G. Cooke, of Herington, Kas. The sequel is that Shockley retires next week. IS DOING FA'NCY WORK. Jessie Morrison Not Treated Like Other Prisoners. Lansing, Aug. 24. Jessie Morrison, now serving a five years' sentence in prison for slaying Mrs. Clara Wiley Castle, of El Dorado, is doing needle work. Warden Jewett expects later to make a trusty of her and let her do light work for the family of one of the officers of the institution. "I didn't think Jessie could stand the ordinary work performed by the women convicts," said the warden, "so I had the matron stock up with fancy needle patterns and put Jessie to work with the needle. She still remains in the woman's department and does not come in contact with the curiosity seek ers. "Jessie believes that she will soon be out on bond," continued the warden. "She told me the other day that if her appeal was not perfected and she was compelled to serve out the full five years, It would mean two deaths In her family hers and her father's." BOWING MORE WHEAT. Dickinson County farmers Will Plant Corn Fields. Abilene, Aug. 24. Central Kansas farmers are preparing to sow the largest wheat acreage in the history of the wheatbelt Nearly all the corn fields will be sown to wheat, as well as the old wheat fields. Much wheat will be put In without plowing. New Rus sian seed wheat has been distributed this week, about 500 bushels to each county, its high price, $2.30 a bushel, prohibiting general purchase. However, the need of new seed is generally re alized, and many farmers are experi menting with imported grain to find better varieties for this climate than the old seed. PSATI RESERVOIR COLLAPSEa While the Council Was Discussing a New One, the Old One Broke. Pratt, Aug. 24. The city reservoir at this place collapsed Thursday night at 8:25.

TOPEKA STATE JOTJRNAIi, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 24, 1901. 4V INTERESTING LOCAL NEWS EVENTS OF THE PAST WEEK AS DEPICTED BY THE STATE JOURNAL CARTOONIST. MONDAY. SUNDAY. TUESDAY. WEDNESDAY. THURSDAY. FRIDAY. SATURDAY. v 1 I Cdunty Attorney tlalen Nichols re turns with a valise full of depositions. RAILROADJIEWS. Steel Strike Delays Work on Ilorton Shops. Unable to Get Koilers and Other Steel 3Iaterial. 150 FOOT SMOKESTACK. Sheet Steel Work on Stack at Standstill. 00,000 Worth of Improve ments Are Ueing Delayed. The steel strike in the east is re sponsible for delays in the completion of about $60, Out) worth of improvements in additions to the Rock Island shops at Hoi ton. Plans for this work were approved early this year and ground was broken for the foundations for the buildings about three months ago. The stone and brick work of the walls and the girders for the roof have been erected, and the remainder of the work has been de layed for upwards of six weeks. This is because the company has so far been unable to get some new boilers and other steel for inside work which must be had before all the brick work is done on one end of the building, as uiere is considerable machinery to be placed under cover that is too large to be taken through the ordinary doors. The Horton shops are more cen trally located than any of tre other shops of this road, and consequently are being enlarged to a size adequate to meet the demands made upon them. Although this company has always experienced great difficulty in securing a plentiful water supply at Horton, the expenditure of large sums of money in improvements at this point indicates that the shops will always be main tained there, despite the fact that con siderable property has been acquired by the Rock Island east of Fotwin in this city for the express purpose of shop and terminal improvements. A new steel smokestack. oxloO feet. Is among the improvements scheduled for Horton, as soon as material can be se cured to complete the work. AGENTS SELECTED. Harriman Lines and Union Pacific Fixing Up Slate. J. C Ptubbs, traffic director for th? Harriman lines; H I Lumax, general passenger agent for the Union Pacific, and E. O. McCormick. passenger traf fic manager for the Southern Pacific, have been in conference with nearly a dozen of the outside agents.

Hy this change three men will be let out. They are cieorge Heisel. who has accepted a position with the Santa Fe; Charles A.

The man who was responsible for the Ptory sent out from Chicago Sunday telling how- Senator Clark had pur chased M miles of the Oregon Short Line south of Salt Lake Citv for $S -O"0.0X has disclosed his identity- and told how it came about, savs the Los Angeles Times. Hp is Harrv Tooker alormer Salt Lake man. now living iri -'ew York, and employed in the ca pacity of private stenographer to S Y Eooles, traffic manager of the American Mining and Snelting company. Tcoker reached here today in coiripanv with Mr. Eccles. who is on his annual out ing, and to the H-s.-r--t frews told the story of the Chicago episode as fol lows "It w-as an awful thing to do. and would never have been attempted by us had we known what the conse- Vou pay lo cents for Cigars not so good S j i i r f f r i if i r i t 1 i. j m il i t. j.

The truth is, that the Chicago newspaper men were anx ious to know what the presence of so many important railway men at the hotel meant. All were alert, and one bright young fellow on the Chicago Tribune was particularly so. To his mind, the meeting was more than ac cidental, and he persisted in asking us to tell him what was on. "By us." continued Tooker, "I mean Mr. Underwood, Senator Clark's pri vate secretary, and Mr. Davison, a clerk in the passenger department of the Union Pacific. I gave Underwood the w ink, and when the reporter's back was turned for a moment suggested to Underwood to hand him out a hot air' story, and the way he did it, with bated breath and confidential air, reinforced by our assurance, was beautiful to be hold. We gave the names of a lot of railroad officials as party to the agree ment that could, in the very nature of things, have no say in the matter at all. and did not sura ise for a moment that the story would be swallowed. But it was. and when we saw it in print we all wanted to leave the city as quickly as possible. How the Asso ciated Press was deceived was more than we could understand. It seemed to fall in just as easily as the re porter." PLANS FOR SOUTHERN PACIFIC Executive Committee Takes No Ac tion on Hays Resignation. St. Louis, Aug. 24. As soon as Mr. Hays retires from the presidency of th? Southern Pacific it is said that the Harriman syndicate will announce plans for the operation of the systems in the combination that will be more far reaching and important than any action yet taken. Regardless of the reasons for Mr. Hays' resignation, it is said Mr. Harriman now projioses to combine the executive and traffic man agement of all of the great transporta tion systems controlled by the interests he represents. Under one president and one director of traffic the Chicago Alton, Kansas City Southern, Union and Southern Pacific and Oregon Rail way and Navigation company and Oregon Short Line are to be operated. Mr. Stubbs will eontroll the traffic de partments and S. M. Felton. president of the Alton, it is reported, will be pres ident of the entire Harriman system of roads. A number of lines are mentioned as desiring the services of Mr. Hays, among them being the Pennsylvania. Michigan Central, Grand Trunk and the Gould svstem. ACTION DEFERRED. Neif York, Aug. 24. It had been ex pected that the resignation of Presi dent Charles M. Hays would have ben acted on at the regular meeting of the Southern Pacific railway executive committee today. E. H. Harriman, Jacob H. Schiff and Jas. Stiliman. the three controlling men of the Harriman syndicate, were absent from the meet ing, however, and President Hays' res ignation was not acted on. KKUTTSCHNITT HAS NOT HEARD. Houston. Tex., Aug. 24. Julius Kruttschnitt, general manager of the Southern Pacific railway, is in this city holding conferences with the heads of the operating departments of the dif ferent roads making up the systen in Texas. It was stated that only tech nical routine business was gone into. Asked as to the rumor that he would shortly be sent back to Houston as gen eral manager of the lines in Texas and Lousiana. Mr. Kruttschnitt said that he had not been so informed, but it might be. He would go wherever or dered. Other officials incline to the be lief that there is foundation for the rumor. Asked as to whether there was any truth in the San Francisco Call state ment that he was to be displaced. Mr. Kruttschnitt said he had not yet heard of it. SPARKS FROM OTHER ENGINES The Santa Fe water meters were in spected this morning. It is important to the city that these meters be kept in good running order all the time as the Santa Fe's water bill is something like $sr,0 a month. Emporia Gazette, j Col. M. H. McCord and J. J. Hodnett, of Tempe. Arizona, filed in the office of j the secretary of the territory at Phoe nix Saturday a. notice of intention to build a railroad under the tax exemp tion act. Two lines are described, one to run from Phoenix through the Salt and Gila river valleys to the Colorado liver at some point in Yuma county, and the other to run from Phoenix through the same valleys and that of the San Pedro and connect with the S. P. near Benson. ElPaso Herald. The story is told of a brakeman com ing into ElPaso recently. He discover ed a tramp asleep in a boxcar and or dered him out. The tramp slowly rais ed his head, and in a weak voice said: "My friend, I am dying with smallpox. For God's sake let me die in peace!" The brakeman jumped 20 feet in get ting out of the car, but shouted to the sick man, in getting out, "Don't tell 'em that I saw you." Emporia Republican. A new man began at the chutes yes terday. He went on at S:30. At 2:S0 he announced that he had made money enough in that way and quit. The chutes are killers, but usually a man stands it longer than that before iie acknowledges that he isn't hunting that sort of a job. Emporia Gazette. TO PASADENA, A NICKEL. Santa Ee Makes a Big Cut on Los Angeles' Suburban Trains. Ixis Angeles. Cal., Aug. 24. To E. P. Ripley, president of the Santa Fe rail way system, is due the credit of an idea, which, when carried out, is cer tain to add to the importance of this city as a commercial metropolis. The Santa Fe and Southern Pacific railroads have decided to anticipate the plans of the Huntington-Hellman syn dicate, and. with this end in view, it is proposed to make a most sweeping cur in all interurban passenger tariffs w ithin a radius of SO miles, both to and from this city. Those interested may Trouble In Spanish-American vet erans' organization over admission of negroes. gain an idea of what is in the wind when they are informed that under the new order of things the rate to Pasa dena, for instance, from Los Angeles is to be less than !i cents each way The present rate by trolley, 25 cents for the round trip, with the family commu tation tariff in the neighborhood of 16 cents each way. The existing tariff by steam is $2.50 for 30 rides, a reduction under the new rate of not quite 50 per cent. It developed today that the new rates are also to affect all of the beach rates contiguous to this city, and the uniform tariff to and from Redondo, Lon Beach, Santa Monica, Terminal island and San Pedro will, it is expected, be $6.S0 for the 60 ride single trips, to be used during any one calendar month. This figure cuts existing rates from S3 to 50 per cent. The cheapest rate now in existence is $1.50 for 10 rides to or from any of these places, or $9 for what had been cut to $6.80, the propos ed new figure referred to. The new tariffs were finally agreed upon at a conference held in San Fran cisco last week between E. A. McCor mick, passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, and General Passen ger Agent John J. Byrne, representing the t'anta Fe. SANTA FE CUTS RATE. Trying to Stop Secret Deals by a Bold Move. Kansas City, Aug. 24. Douglas Dal lam, commercial agent of the Santa Fe went before the Kansas City board of trade yesterday morning and announc ed that his road would carry all wheat on which disposition orders were re ceived before evening from Kansas Cityto Chicago for 7 cents per 100 pounds. In this connection he declared that competitive lines had been for some time recently making the 7 cent rate on wheat between Kansas City and Chicago, but that the Santa Fe's object in announcing it was solely with a view of securing disposition of load ed cars in Kansas City yards. "The grain men promised to aid us In correcting conditions at Kansas City," said Mr. Dallam, "and we now propose to give them the opportunity. We will haul only our own cars at this rate. We are not putting it in for the pur pose of securing the haul to Chicago, for if such was our object we would have put it in some time ago, when other lines did so secretly. We would much prefer to have our cars unloaded promptly at Kansas City, as we are far behind in our orders in the coun try. All cars which have been in the Kansas City yards three days, and for which we do not receive disposition or ders before evening, will be sent to the elevator. This practice will be carried out daily from now on." There were- over 100 loaded cars of wheat in the Santa Fe yards yesterday morning. Disposition orders were re ceived for the majority of these by last evening. Mr. Dallam said yesterday afternoon that the receipts of wheat dur ing the night would decide whether or not the 7 cent rate would be made ef fective today. It is possible the Santa Fe will continue to make this rate op enly while wheat shipments continue heavy. Many of the cars in the Santa Fe yards yesterday were originally destin ed for transfer to the Chicago Great Western. The latter road is still block ed and the majority of these were ta ken to Chicago last night by the Santa Fe at the 7 cent rate. The Great West ern expects to be able to handle Santa Fe transfers within a day or two. The 7 cent rate is a cut of 3 cents un der the agreed rate of 10 cents. In view of the recent "bracing up" by western managements, the declaration of Mr. Dallam was something of a shock to his associates in Kansas City. OFFERED TO EAR AH AN. Said to Be Given Chance at Cnas. M. Hays' Position. Chicago, Aug. 24. The Record says: It is reported that J. T. Harahan, sec ond vice president of the Illinois Cen tral railway, has been offered the pres idency of the Southern Pacific company succeeding C. M. Hayes, resigned. Mr. Harahan is in Europe in the interest of an increased traffic between the Illinois Central and New Orleans. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPLE. Albert Adams of the storehouse has been laying off. Charles Taylor, fireman in the boiler room of the mill, is laying off. Pat Moffitt, a helper in the blacksmith shop, was out a part of Friday. Pat Griffin, a helper in the blacksmith shop, is on duty after a short absence. The inside of the new blacksmith shop is receiving a coat of whitewash. Duke Crawford, a blacksmith who has been out since Monday, is working again. Charles Kaiser of the blacksmith shop has returned to work after a short lay off. Machinist Harry Tillotson of the south shop has resumed work after a week's lay off. Norman Evans, formerly a Santa Fe fireman at Emporia, was in Topeka Fri day. Reed Sayler, fireman in the mill, is do ing his work again after a lay-off of a few days. Slurgis Pechtol of the boiler shop, who has been off duty several days this week, wiil be in again Monday. J. F. Skagtrs of the blacksmith shop tool room, who has been sick in bed for most of this week, is at his place again. The wife of William White, a fiue set ter, is ill with fever at the home on Mad ison street, between Fourth and Filth streets. Joseph Donohue, a machinist in the south shoo, is expected to return to work after a lay off of a few days, made necea snrv by a sore hand. The wife and daughter of George Ben son, an uphoistercr, returned from Las Animas, Col., where they have been visit ing for the last ten days. One of the boiler shop men especially well known for his gallantry, escorted a party of five girls to th? band concert at Garheld park Friday night. Machinist William Wood is taking the Charles K. Holliday sleeps while a burglar ransacks his house. place of W. I- Stark in the tool room of the blacksmith shop. Stark having left Friday for Guthrie, Ok., where, with his family, he will spend a short time. John Starr and Sam McLaughlin, who are usually known as switchmen, were pressed into service as brakemen on Fri day and made a trip on the Atchison lo cal. George Elliot, chief car insDector. and John Young, foreman of the North Tope ka switching crew, will leave tomorrow for Colorado, where they will recuperate for a week or more. William E. Powell, a tinner, while work ing Friday was the victim of a slight mishap by which the third finger of his right hand was cut on a piece of tin. The injury did not make it necessary for him to lay off. E. R. Reid, a clerk in the office of Gen eral Master Mechanic Collinson. is suf fering from an attack of appendicitis at his home on Western avenue. It will probably be some time before he will be able to return to his desk. John Etzel of the blacksmith shop is in again.- Saturday- evening Etzel w-as thrown from a buggy at the corner of Second and Quincy and received injuries to one hip which made necessary his ab sence since then. He still walks with a limp as a results of the accident. George Sherman has returned from an outing of several days which himself and family spent along the Marais des Cygnes in Osage county. Besides catching an abundance of fish, Sherman brought back with him several pearls found in the shells of that stream, the most valuable ciX which is counted worth $5. William Boyes of the water service is working with his left shoulder slightly lacerated. The other day while helping put in heater pipes for one of the new tank cars he moved too close to the blades of the fan used for keeping the air in circulation, and the result was two or three ugly cuts on the shoulder. He was not obliged lo lay off longer than was required for dressing the, wounds. Thomas Watkins, a cabinet maker who, with his family, left this week for Ana darko. Ok., was given an enjoyable fare welt party before starting for the new country. The gathering was held at the home of John Norton, on the corner o Third and Branner streets, and was com plimentary to the estimation in which Mr. Watkins and his family were held by their acquaintance. Refreshments were jerved on the lawn. Earl Bozarth, a plater, came near fig uring in a bad runaway the other morn ing while coming to work. He and his wife had just started for the shops from his home on the west side when, for some reason, the horse he was driving kicked over the shafts of the buggy and started to run. Bozarth was able to control the animal, however, and aside from a se vere fright to himself and wife, escaped none the worse. The buggy, thougn. was brand new. and after breaking the shafts the horse put his feet through the dash board, demolishing that part of it. Shop men who live east of the shops and in the vicinity of the city dump as now located are determined that it shall not remain there. Not only is it a men ace to good health. but the property within several blocks of the place is ren dered almost valueless by the intolerable stench which comes from the dump. Threats have been made that it must be moved and now a number of petitions have been started which call for the re moval of the dump up the river to a point near Fotwin. Of course it is held that no nuisance exists so long as it is retained at its present location, but the likelihood is that when the breezes from up the river waft the odor down over Pot win and the rest of the town the city dump' will be properly appreciated. In the movement to place Theodore Roosevelt's name before the public as a candidate for president in 19u4 the Santa Fe shop men are quite up to the times in the matter of loyalty. A peti tion circulated securing the names of men who were willing to join a Roose velt club already has more than a hundred signers, and this alone from the coach and paint shops. By the time the petition gets around there will be almost enough to institute a shopmen's Roosevelt club. All of the signers of the paper thus far are tried and true Republicans and on the list appears the names of such prominent workers as J. W. Mergan, formerly councilman from the Second ward. D. S. Myers, present councilman from that ward, Charles Ogilvy and Charles Youngreen. STR1K EllS WIN ALL A 110 UN D Two Disturbances Come to an End in San Francisco. San Francisco, Aug. 24.

The eighth an nual meeting of the Southwest Kansas Old Soldiers' reunion drew to a close last evening. It has been a grand suc cess all through. It is said that over 3,000 persons were in attendance, the three davs of the meetings. Dodge City has had' more prominent speakers present at this reunion than any ever held in the state. The question of where the meetings are to be held in 1902 was decided by a rising vote and all rose in favor of Dodge City except a handful, who wanted the meetings held at Ashland.

Holding an Agricultural Picnic at Highland Station. Troy, Aug. 24. The Modern Wood men of Doniphan county are holding a three days' agricultural exhibition and picnic at Highland station. Large crowds were in attendance today. Gov ernor Stanley was billed for an address, but missed the train at Atchison and could not keep the appointment. Sen ator James L. Allen, of Highland, and local speakers filled the date. Liquor selling and gambling were run ning openly on the outskirts of the grounds today. The sheriff and deputies descended on them and gathered in five persons, two wagonloads of beer and a wagonload of gambling parapher nalia. Severance, Falls City, Sabetha and St. Joseph talent were taken in. At the alarm, about fifteen other gam blers took to the brush, and one 200 pounder from St. Joseph created much amusement by swimming the river near the grounds in his frantic haste to get away.

A TOTJNG LADIES LIFE SAVED At Panama, Colombia, by Chamber lain's Colic, Cholera and Diar rhoea Remedy. Dr. Charles H. Utter, a prominent phy sician of Panama, Colombia, in a recent letter states: "Last March I had as a patient a young lady 16 years of age, who had a very bad attack of dysentery. Everything I prescribed for her provet ineffectual and she was growing worss every hour. Her parents were sure shs would die. She had become so weak that she could not turn over in bed. What to do at this critical moment was a stud for me, hut I thought of Chamberlain' Colic, Cholera and Diarrhoea Remedy and as a last resort prescribed it. The most wonderful result was effected. Within eight hours she was feeling much better; inside of three days she was upon he feet and at the end of one week was en tirely well." For sale by all druggists. Cleveland, O., and Return, $21.35.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, SATURDAY EVENING. AUGUST 24, 1901. Some people wonder why pepsin preparations don't help their dyspepsia. They probably suffer because they cannot digest foods that pepsin does not affect. The reason is, pepsin digests only nitrogenous foods, like eg-gfs, meat and albumin, while entirely different substances are required to digest the great variety of other foods that are necessary for proper nourishment. Kodol Dyspepsia Cure contains pepsin, but it also contains all the; other digestants, and is capable of com pletely digesting farinas, grains, starches and every other kind of foods. That is why it digests what you eat and allows you to eat all the variety you want; and that is why it cures indigestion, even after everything else has failed. As it is the only preparation of the kind known, the demand for it has becomeenormous. Its use affords instant relief from all forms of stomach trouble. 01 eoni fcola but do ycu good Prepared by C.

Af ter adjournment the members will pro ceed to Buffalo where they will partici pate in the festivities of lumbermen's week at the exposition. The Hoo Hoos are lumbermen, and the lodge includes nearly every prom inent lumberman in the United States. Several Topeka dealers are planning to attend. The origin of the Hoo Hoos was in teresting. A great many years ago a small freight wreck blockaded the rail way track in some out of the way place in Arkansas. There were nine lumber men on the train, and to spend their leisure time they undertook the or ganization of the Order of Hoo Hoos. They did not realize at that time they were forming a permanent organization that would outlive themselves. But they did. They agreed to meet the following year, which they did and have met con tinually ever since. They were nine in number when first organized and therefore decided they would meet the next year the ninth day of the ninth month. And the custom has been followed ever since. Tlie initiation fees to the order are Everything possible in connection with the order is done on the scale of nine. They meet annually now and the organization has grown to be a great power in other ways than socially. Each member of the order when they attend the annual convention are sup plied with a pocket full of stickers in the form of a black cat. They then proceed to stick black cats all over the city. They have a regular code of meaning or language of stickers, so that a cat pasted in a certain manner on the register at the hotel means one thing and pasted there in another way means another thing, and so forth. The meeting this year gives promise of being as successful as those held heretofore. The policies of the old line life insur ance companies operating in the United States which terminated by lapse or otherwise during the year 1H00. num bered 376.307 and represented $785. 344. 7L1 insurance.

The net gain in old line insurance in force made by all com iHinies operating in the United States during the year 190 was $639,162,063. There are now 3.176.147 policies in force averaging $2,233 each, as compared with the average of $2,296 during the year 1S99. Old line straight life insurance policies outstanding at the beginning of the present year numbered 2,128,642; endowment policies S'"9.154, and all oth er policies. 232.412. The industrial and old line life insurance companies to gether had a total insurance in force on January 1, mi. of $S. 562.139,740. These are the figures for seventy-six American old line companies.

Senator Chaun cey M. Depew arrived from Europe to day. Of the Schley-Sampson controversy he said: "A great deal of interest is taken in it. The fact that Admiral Sohley's daughter is married to Mr. Wortley, an Englishman and the brother of the British military attache at Paris, makes favorable feeling for him over there. The controversy itself is not doing us any good; it is arous ing conte.npt and derision towards the American navy, and the less said about it the better." The senator then turned to com merce and said: "The nations over there, I have ob served, are considerably scared by our manufacturers, and are trying to make combinations against us, but I am in no fear that they will be able to do it, although they may act individually. They can't agree among themselves. It is like a combination of railroads one railway may say we want 40 per cent.. another 50 per cent., and another 60 per cent., when there is only 100 per cent, to divide up." FRANCE IS DELIGHTED. Much Pleasure at tha Turn of Affairs in Turkey. Paris, Aug. 24. The foreign office offi cials do not conceal their delight at the settlement of the Turkish difficulty. During the last few days it was evident that some anxiety was feared lest the affair mar the festivities on the occa sion of the czars visit. The corre spondent of the Associated Press leaa-ns that M. Constans' dispatch was very brief, hut it leaves no doubt that the Bultan has yielded all that was want ed in the matter of the quays, by is suing an irade recognizing the full rights claimed by the French company to extend its operations, buy land and start ferries, also removing the annoy ing restrictions hitherto m posed by the customs and police officials. This not only ends the dispute but ends also all questions of the re-purchase of the company's concession by the porte at the present time. Regarding the other French claims, as their amount has been admitted by Turkey, the negotiations only turn on the manner of payment. It is believed this will be arranged very quickly.

It is tor the purpose of compelling people to report deaths to the health officers of the city. The old ordinance, while It provided that all deaths should be reported, was not easy to enforce because no partic ular individual could be responsible. The new ordinance will provide that managers of cemeteries shall not e ceive bodies for burial unless they first receive a permit for burial from the party burying the body. The permit must be signed by the city physician. In this way it will be impossible to in ter a body in any cemetery within the jurisdiction of the board without first securing a pertait from the board to do so. Notice.

THEY FEAlt AMERICA. Senator Washburn Finds TTneasinesa Among Europeans. London. Aug. 24. Former Senator W. IX Washburn, of Minneapolis, prior to sailing for home on the American line steamer St. Louis today, said to a rep resentative of the Associated Press that he had found considerable uneasiness among the bankers and manufacturers on the continent concerning American competition. "They perceive," he added, "that we are just gettinsr ready, and in no re sneet is it likely they can beat us in the future. How long can Europe Btand to pay a balance of $650,000,000 a year after all our securities are sent back' Some able continental observers to whom I put the inquiry were unable to answer. They fear us." Commenting on the "fantastic idea of a commercial bond of the European na tions against the United States," the Outlook says: "One might as well try to hang a Venetian blind over the sun as to try to exclude the influence of American industries from the world. For one thing. Great Britain would be no party to the bond. For another, the power of American reprisals would be terrible. Even now Germany is on the verge of a struggle between classes, caused by the proposed tariff. L'nder the German tariff Austria would suffer grievously. It is not easy to see how countries which are at issue with tnemselves ana each other, and whose nscal arrange ments excite class against class, could agree on a policy against a commerce competitor."

Geoi'Ke White, oti,i,r small bov. tdeaded guilty of stealing half a sack of wheat from the Topeka Milling Co.. and is slated to join the key collectors in the ranks of the "gray jeans. Considerable excitement was caused bv an old negro named Bloods worth who started out Friday evening to get "bloodsworth" or "moneysworth out of the hides of a pair of young men whom he alleges to have insulted his two granddaughters. He was carrying a watermelon when the girls informed him of the insult. Hastily taken the home, he put it in a cool nlaoe and started out with a Winches ter rifle to find the wicked youn men. Looking for Two "Culled Pussons.' He looked so wild that some one tele phoned police headquarters that a crazy mn was verv much abroad witn a gun Officers were at once dispatched to the scene, and the bloody minded Bloods worth was relieved of his weapon. He was not arrested, however, because he "hadn't done nothin.' Mr. Bevelle, the bicycle grafter of the fnrp seems to be ETowing tire some in the estimation of the people around the new Santa Fe shops. Not long ago he arrested several persons fnr- ridinc on a ilace where the side walk ought to be near the shop, and a foreman of the works took it upon him c..if sneak harshly to Mr. Bevelle, intimating that he was something else than a gentleman. Mr. Bevelle was having so much trouble trying to make the people believe that a sidewalk ex isted at this point, that Chief Stahl took the matter in hand and issued a mani festo to-wit: NOTICE. All Persons Are Hereby FORBIDDEN From Riding EICTCLE3 On This Sidewalk. By Order of F. M. STAHL, Chief of Police. This little notice is printed on large cards, so that he who runs (or rides) may read, and will be posted all along the alleged sidewalk. The wonderful wording of this epistle will of course so frighten the "bikists" that they will give Mr. Bevelle no more trouble. There is a story afloat that Chief 'Stahl Judge Lindsay and other police officials .have been offered a lucrative proposition in shape of a bribe from the iointists. The aforesaid orlicials do not "admit that such is the case, but keep a dignified silence which allows the public to believe that it is a fact, and meanwhile their faces are covered with deep dark blushes of shame. They have no longing for the notoriety won bv Messrs. Devery, Glennon and Mur phy, of New York. Police court business is extremely slow at present.

Slonecker today filed an application for a rehearing of the To peka millers' case against the Santa Fe asking a restoration of their old rates on wheat, with the board of railroad commissioners. Judge Slonecker lett this afternoon on a two weeks' vacation hence no date was set or asked to be set for tha rehearing, in case it is granted. As counsel lor tne miners ne main tains that the board missed tne maia in its decision and it is probable that the case will follow an entirely new line at another hearing. If so. an amended petition will be filed attacking tne sys tem of distance tariffs in the state, re moving the implied plea for favoritism ami discrimination in the rates. There are six points in tne oner luea by Judge Slonecker as causes upon which to base a rehearing. The points made are as follows: 1. The board evidently labored unaer an entire misapprehension as to the al leged differential or ttve cents on wneai. east from Kansas City and its supposed bearing on the question at issue; ana this is especially apparent as the state ment of the board in its opinion in re gard to through rates shows that such differential could not affect a rate which terminates 67 miles west of Kan sas City. 2. The board was in error as to wnat it was called upon to decide and con sidered subjects not in issue. 3. The board evidently overlooked the fact that it was conceded that wheat and wheat products should bear the same rate and that therefore tne rate asked is neither a discrimination nor a favoritism as every miller west of To peka could ship wheat products into Topeka at the same rata Topeka millers could ship in wheat. 4. The board erred in considering the so-called differential of one cent in favor of Kansas millers on through shipments east of Kansas City, as such differen tial could not possibly have any bearing on a shipment which stops at Topeka. 5. The decision of the board was con trary to law. 6. The decision of the board was not supported by the evidence. ENTITLED TO A SITE. Delphos Railroad Case Decided In Favor of Farmers. 'A finding for the Farmers' Co-operative organization at Delphos was made by the state board of railroad commis sioners upon the conclusion of the hear ing held in that town Friday. The case was brought to issue on an inter-plea filed by C. W. Lord on the part of the elevator men now operating at Delphos. Previous to the interjec tion of Mr. Lord's plea into tne case the board was disposed to recommend to the TTnion Pacific that an elevator site be granted the farmers at Delphos. The objections ot tne local eievaior men were heard in the evidence taken yes terday. R. R. Rees, of Minneapolis, was their attorney. At tne conclusion or me hearing they had failed to establish their case. The board decided then upon the original grievance tiled by the farmers, tnat tney were eiiuueu iu elevator site, and have made this rec ommendation to the railroad company. HEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. L.

Strike is About Where It Was Six Weets Ago. Pittsburg, Pa., Aug. 24. The closing of the sixth week of the great steel strike finds the controversy apparently as far from settlement as it was on the 13th of July, when the joint confer ence of manufacturers and workers dis agreed and President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated Association of Iron, Tin and Steel Workers made his first order calling out the employes of the sheet steel and the steel hoop companies. After 43 days both sides maintain the same firm front, and the contest which has been waged by them with varying success gives promise o continuing fur an indefinite period. Yesterday's conference of labor lead ers to devise means for bringing about a settlement was devoid of results and it rests with the conferees as individ uals to seek another conference for the Amalgamated association with the United States Steel corporation execu tives or to arrange for arbitrating the differences. According to the state ment of the participants no mention was made of the miners or other trad ers taking sympathetic action. Jn short the meeting made no effort to extend the strike to affiliated trades. When seen this morning President Shaffer expressed himself as well satis fied with the situation up to the pres ent time. He reiterated his former statements that the association still had several surprises in store for the manufacturers but he refused to give any information as to what -they were. In "regard to the report that Chief p. M. Arthur of the Brotherhood of Locomo tive Engineers had written to him in reply to a letter asking what support thu uti-ikern could exoect from the en gineers, that Mr. Arthur had answered that he could not call his men out, or ask them to refuse to handle non-union freight, President Shaffer refused to talk. All he would say was: "I never wrote a letter to Mr. Arthur in my life." At the offices of the steel companies it was said that the situation was bcn- erally satisfactory in all tne plants in the Pittsburg district. The postpone ment of the attempt to start theDemm ler plan of the American Tin Pla te com pany until next week, was said to be for the purpose of having the plant in order when the men start to work. It was believed there would be plenty of men on hand when the time came to op erate the plant. It was also stated that the idle plant of the National Steel company at Bellaire, O., would be start ed next week and that a force of men is being gathered for this purpose. Where the men were coming from the officials refused to say. Quiet prevail ed at all plants today. This is a short At the Painter works it was said that two more mills would be started on Monday. They are the bar mill arid the No. 7 cotton tie mill. Many me chanics and laborers are at work on tna latter. It has not been in use for sev en months but the demand from the south for this material is so heavy that it was decided to resume operations. The management say many of their old men are asking for their former posi tions and that it is probable some will be taken back as non-union men. This is pay day at the Contential, Elba, Key stone, Pennsylvania. Republic, Paint er's and Brown's mills and an extra force of policemen is on duty in the strike districts, although no trouble is expected. The big parade which was to have taken place at McKeesport to day and which was to go to Duquesne and Homestead for the purpose of its moral effect on the workers in the Car negie plants, at those places.was aban doned upon the advice of President Shaffer who feared disorder if the orig inal intentions were carried out. A movement is on foot among some of 1 Si ft M ti a
