f ST t r! ill LAST EDITION. THURSDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS, AUGUST 29, 1901. THURSDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. 4 1 1? i IN A MINE PIT. Murderer of Miss Henderson Believed to He Located. He Is Traced to the Vicinity of Holden, Mo. NEGROES STRUNG UP. Three of Them Hanged Elicit Information. to Prospects For Immediate Cap ture Are Not Good. Kansas Pit-. Mo., Aug. 29. A tele phone msag from Holden. Mo., this morning, says that "Bossie" Francis, the negro, w ho outraged and murdered Miss .Mary llendcrsuil on Tuesday nigbt. is believed to have been located in a mine pit just outside Holden. There now seems no doubt that ti.e murderer is hiding in the mines or vicinity, but as there are so many favorable places there in which he may secrete himself, Francis may elude his pursuers almost indefinitely. The information of his ex act whereabouts was obtained bv stringing up three negroes who lived in the vicinity of the Hyatt farm at Columbus, where the murder took place. The murder of Miss Henderson was one of the cruelest ami most cold blooded ever perpetrated in Johnson county. The fact that it occurred in th country made its commission easier and escape of the murderer simpler. Miss Henderson was the twin sister of Mrs. W. C. Hyatt, and lived at the home of Mr. and Mrs. Hyatt, a few miles out of Columbus, which is off tiie railroad and 40 miles south of Kansas City. Hyatt, who is a well known Here lord breeder and formerly a prominent Populist politician and his wife- had left Miss Henderson alone in the afternoon, vi hile tney went to the cemetery near town to superintend the building: of a monument. Miss Henderson and "Eos sit" Francis, the negro, were the only persons on trie premises. When the Hyatts returned at 7 o'clock they found Miss Henderson lying in the yard, in a pool of her own blood, and unconscious from a bullet wound in the head and the rough usaee she had undergone. She had been assaulted and shot. The bullet had entered the back of her head and come out at the forehead. She was revived enough to say that "Bossie'' had entered the house about 6 o'clock and grabbing her by the neck from be hind, begun to choke her. She had jumped out the open window to escape beinij followed by the negro, assaulted and shot. The scene in the yard gave evidence of a terrible struggle. Soon after giv ing these details Miss Henderson died. vHit in the lot a fine blooded horse was found dead. It had been shot by Fran cis, apparently to prevent the beast be ing used to follow him. Francis had secured a good start by the time the Hyatts returned, immediately after the woman died the alarm was given at Columbus. A mob of farmers was formed s.'on. and well armed, began a search of the country nearby. Because oi n.e lacK ot wire facilities, the news of the murder did not reach surround ing towns till after midnight. Then it was telegraphed from town to town and soon the whole county was in an uproar, searching in all directions. The most intense excitement prevailed fv ery where and the smallest bit of infor mation was eagerly seized upon. There was a generally expressed desire to burn the negro at the stake. Suspects were reported under arrest, but none pro ed to be the right man. At Sedalia the suspect was only saved from lynching by the prompt work of the police. Later it was reported on the best authority that Francis had been seen near Holden, on the Missouri pacific railway. He was believed to he in hiding in th outskirts of the town, and all day armed men hunted every Inch of the ground for miles around. Miss Henderson was 42 years of age. She was a timid, nervous temperament ami easily fris-hterW. Francis, who whs 22 years old ami who had worked on the farml'or five years, was trusted implicity. He was undersized, and as he had been to the city but few times in his life, was considered unsophisticated. DETAILS OF THE SEARCH. Hundreds of Armed Men Spend Night Hunting For "Bossie" Francis, Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 29. Bossie" Francis, the negro who outraged and murdered Miss Maty Henderson on Tuesday night, is believed to have been located in a mine pit in a negro settle ment six miles north of Holden. and within a mile of Columbus, the scene rf the crime. There seems no doubt that I the murderer is hiding in the niine or i in the vicinity, but as there are so many i lavorable places there in which he mnv I secrete nimselt. r rar.ris may elud his pursuers almost indefinitely. The lead to his whereabouts was obtained by stringing up three negroes who lived the Hyatt farm at I'ninmh,,. I-liotxl hounds! have been sent for nn.i "in a 1 1 i e uuring i ne day. in t he mean time the search for the murderer has been renewed with increased vigor bv hun dreds of armed men. The mob spent the entire night searching for the negro. After midnight they came upon Emmett Davenport, Charles Briscoe, who lived near Colum bus, and Bud Francis, a brother of the murderer, between Columbus and Hol den. The men acted suspiciously but declared that they knew nothing about Francis' .whereabouts. To make them talk, it was decided to string all three up. A rope was placed about Briseo's neck, but he would say nothing and attention was turned to Davenixirt After Davenport had dandled at the end of a row for a few moments, he became terror stricken and motioned to be let down. He finally cried: "I,t me go and I'll tell you where he is. He is in a coal bank over here and I'll show you." "He's lying." shouted the mob. "No. I'm not," insisted Davenport Davenport said that Bud Francis had told him he was to meet the murderer last night at the Porter-Murray coal mine, six miles north of Holden, when k was to give "Bessie" eighteen dollars that Briscoe owed him. Bud Francis had, Lavenport said, taken Davenport and Briscoe with him, and made them go into the mine to find the murderer. He declared they had not found Fran cis. Lavenport, with Briscoe and Bud Francis, were hurried before the mob to the place indicated by Davenport. The negro led them to a coal bank sev eral miles away. The mob worked hard and long but to no avail and only gave up when relieved at daybreak bv hun dreds of other armed men, who took up the hunt where the night shift had left off. The three negroes were finally sent to Warrensburg arid placed in jail for safe keeping, and surrounding towns were wired for bloodhounds.Until these arrive this afternoon it is not believed that any progress will be made by the moti. J lie spot where Francis is be lieved to be hiding is in a negro set tlement. The surroundings are favor able lor him both because lie has many friends there and because the mine and the thick brush afford hiding places. Every white man in the neighborhood is on the alert, however, and as every avenue of escape is well guarded, Francis will surely be captured in tinv. A special to the Star from Warrens burg says: Wednesday afternoon tracks were seen leading into an abandoned coal mine near the house of a colored man named Hardin, about six miles south west of Columbus. They led from Francis trail. Pete Lamers, a miner who had examined the tracks, persist ed that they were old and became so decided in his opinion, that he was ar rested and brought to Warrensburg. As yet nothing has been learned from him. A negro near Center View who rode by the Hyatt home on the afternoon of the murder was also arrested and ta ken to the old mine on a charge of knowing of the whereabouts of Fran cis, but was later released. The funeral of the dead woman was held this morning. A special to the Star from Odessa, Mo., says: Bloodhounds were started from there for the scene of the murder this morn ing. Columbus and the coal mines neor Holden are about ten and fifteen miles respectively across country from Odes sa, and can not be reached by rail. There is great excitement at Odessa and mobs are reported forming there every hour to join the chase. Francis is known to be armed and if he is finally located in the mine, it will doubtless become necessary to starve him out. As but few men could enter the pit at a time they would be at the mercy of the murderer. VERY HOT MIGHT. The Mercury Stood at 81 Midnight. at Last night was hot. and with only a mere breath of air stirring it was one of the most uncomfortable of the sea son. The thermometer at midnight" stood at SI. and it fell gradually until 7:20 this morning, when the minimum of 73 was reached. The minimum was from 4 to 6 degrees higher than the average. By 10 o'clock this morning the wind had only gotten up to three miles an hour from the southwest. Today's fore cast is "Partly cloudy with possibly local thunderstorms and cooler south east portion. Friday fair.' The wind by noon had lisen and came in flurries that sent clouds of dust down the streets and gave an appearance of ap proaching rain. The itockj Island telepgraph depart ment received reports of good rains throughout the southwestern part of Kansas. Chickasha was visited by heavy thunderstorms,- and Hennesy received a little rain. Today's temperatures, as recorded by the government thermometer, were as follows 7 o'clock 74 8 9 10 11 1-' 1 o'clock 7" o'clock S4 o'clock o'clock o'clock o'clock o'clock. 91 S2 90 THEIR ROYAL RECEPTION How the Kansans Were Re ceived at Louisville. The following is from Tuesday morn ing's edition of the Louisville Courier Journal: There was a golden shower when the special train bearing the Kansas Grand Commandery and Topeka Commandery rolled into union station. Seventh and Water streets. Sunflowers were tossed in the air. and many knights tore the petals apart, causing them to descend like so much confetti. It was a beauti ful display, and the throng without the gates shouted greetings to the knights from "bleeding Kansas." The train drew close ur to Sixth street, and the two commanderies, led by John B. Mar shall's band of fifty-four pieces, from Topeka. descended the stairway and formed on Sixth street, facing Main. Marshall's musicians wore scarlet fa tigue coats, trimmed with black braid. The Sir Knights, three abreast, with plumes waving and swords glistening. made a beautiful picture. A greatcrowd was banked on either side of the street as far as Main. Every window was oc cupied, and voices rang out and hand kerchiefs fluttered Louisville's welcome. The Industrial School of Reform band played "My. Old Kentucky Home as the Kansans moved swiftly by. Reach ing Main street, the column wheeled east. Main street was filled by a cheer ing throng. The windows of every busi ness establishment were filled by men and women, smiling and shouting. Marshall's band played "Dixie." and the western Templars saw a wonderful demonstration of enthusiasm. Hats were waved, the girls threw kisses and flags were circled amid the wildest cheering. The same scenes were re peated as the column moved out Fourth avenue and to 743 Third street, head quarters of the Kansas Commandery. A tallyho conveyed the ladies accompany ing the commanderies. All were dec orated with sunflowers. One hundred and twenty knights made tir the two commanderies, the larger number being in the Grand Com mandery. A. O. Wellman is Eminent Command er of Topeka Commandery. E. W. Wel lington is Grand Commander of the state of Kansas; Thomas L. Bond, Dep uty Grand Commander: T. J. Anderson, Grand Recorder: W. F. March, Grand Treasurer; Charles J. Weob, Grand Generalissimo. I HEN SHAFFER SAYS THE WORD It Is Up to the President of the Amalgamated To Put the Peaee Machinery Into Operation. LEADERS ARE READY. Sargent, White, Mitchell and Others Will See Morgan. Shaffer Has Receded From His Original Position. New Tork. Aug. 29. Frank P. Sarg ent, grand chief of the Brotherhood of Locomotive Firemen, before leaving this city last night for his home in Pe oria, 111., said of the steel strike: "I think that as President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association has re ceded from his original demands Mr. Morgan could afford to be magnani mous and settle the strike. My interest in it lies in the fact that the settle ment of the strike will have such a far reaching effect generally." The same tone was adopted by Henry White, general secretary of the United Garment Workers. "Mr. Shaffer," he said, "has modified his demands and made some conces sions reluctantly at our intercession. The executive officers of the Amalga mated association regard Mr. Morgan very highly and believe him to be broad and fair minded. They have not as high an opinion of the official of the United States Steel corporation, how ever." Sir. White said that as soon as svord was received from President Shaffer to go ahead with the negotiations Presi dent Jenks, John Mitchell, Samuel (rompers and the other members of the committee on conciliation will meet in this city and try to arrange a peace proposition. SCHWAB REJECTS ARBITRATION. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 29. Simon Burns, who is here today, announces that his plan for settling the strike by arbitration has been rejected by Charles M. Schwab, president of the United States Steel corporation. UNIONS CAN T INCORPORATE. New York, Aug.29 President Shaffer of the Amalgamated association In re sponse to a telegram from the World asking him if he contemplated the in corporation of the Amalgamated asso ciation, replied: "I do not know of any law in this or any other state that will allow the incorporation of a labor un ion. Speaking as an individual and not as an officer. I see no reason why the Amalgamated association should not be incorporated if we could get a charter. The delegates to our conventions or the members at large might think differ ently. "The only labor union that ever was incorporated was the old Knights of Labor, and it was incorporated by a special act of congress. This is not generally known. To incorporate the Amalgamated association, it would be necessary to petition the legislature to enact a law allowing it to go before congress for a special act. Neither body is in session now." TRUST TRIES INJUNCTION. Pittsburg. Aug. 29. A New Philadel phia, O., dispatch reports that Attor neys Bower and Buchanan, for the American Sheet Steel company have served an injunction through the Uni ted States court against the Amalga mated association at Canal Dover for intimidating and keeping workmen from entering the rolling mill, also in holding and stopping pedestrians upon the highway. BURNS WILL TRY AGAIN. Indianapolis, Ind., Aug. 29. Tiie plan of arbitration for the settlement of the great steel strike submitted by Simon Burns, president of L. A. 3002, the Na tional Organization of Window Glass Workers and also the head of the Knights of Labor, has been rejected by President Schwab of the steel trus. Another proposition will be submitted to him by Mr. Burns tomorrow. The latter who arrived here early today to attend a meeting of representatives of the three window glass combines, and the jobbers' association said: "I submitted my plan to Mr. Schwab merely as a suggestion and if there is anything in it that is objectionable to the trust officials, it can be modified. When I return to Pittsburg tomorrow. I shall take the matter up again with Mr. Schwab in hope of making some kind of an arrangement whereby the strike questions can be submitted to arbitration. I think that a start toward a settlement of the strike should be made somewhere at once, as it is hurt ing business." TO BEGIN PAYING BENEFITS. Pittsburg. Aug. 29. After next Mon day the Amalgamated association will begin the disbursement of strike ben efits to such as are still out of employ ment. The rate is ?4 a week. The question of strike benefits for employes of the National Tube company who are not members of the Amalgamated asso ciation has just been the subject of discussion. These men are nearly all members of certain trades union, affili ated with the Federation of Labor and it appears went out in sympathy with Amalgamated strikers without the formality provided by the federation constitution. For this reason no bene fits could be paid them by their own organization. It Is understood that the strikers' officials assured them that they would not be overlooked in the hour of heed. Secretary Williams received a check from the Flint Glass workers today for $3,000 besides several other large dona tions. TRUST STARTS A SCHOOL. Steel Colossus Trains New Men For Work in Its Mills.

RESULT OF RAGING Rumored That City of Trenton Was Going Too Fast. Assistant Engineer Had Pre sentiment of Danger. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. Eleven known dead, nine missing and 32 injured is the record made by the explosion of the boilers of the steamboat City of Tren ton on the Delaware river yesterday. All night long city firemen, policemen and officials and employes of the Wil mington Steamboat company which owned the illfated vessel, worked In and around the burntd and blackened hull, searching for bodies of victims of the disaster, believed to be either in the vessel or in the water. Hundreds of men are dragging the river bottom with grappling irons to day and they will continue to do so un til every person that was on the boat is accounted for. Of the 11 bodies that have been re covered, ten have been identified. The identified dead are: JOHN P. CHEW, of Camden, N. J., assistant engineer of the City of Tren ton. MISS ELIZABETH GREEN, of Phil adelphia, crushed to death. WM. DUNN, of Philadelphia, passen ger. ARTHUR LANSING, 14 years of age, Trenton, N. J. JAMBS O'CONNELL, fireman, Phila delphia. MOTT MAELE, fireman, Philadel phia. AUGUST MABLE, deck hand, Phila delphia. JAMES GRAHAM, engineer, Trenton, N. Y. WM. II. KEENE, passenger, Phila delphia. JAMES M'CORMICK, Wilmington, Del., passenger. The unidentified body Is so badly burned that its sex can not be determ ined. Among the missing are Miss Ethel Stokes of Trenton land Miss Helen Briest. daughter of former Mayor oJhn Briest of Trenton. According to the statement of the widow of the dead assistant engineer, John P. Chew, the man had a presenti ment of death. Mrs. Chew says that before leaving home for work on Tues day night her husband said: "Lizzie. I may never see you again. I have a presentiment that there will be an explosion on the boat. If there is there will be no escape for me. They are running at too high a steam pres sure and if an accident should occur I and many others will be killed." Of the 32 injured persons taken to the hospital attached to the Philadel phia House of Correction, ail are re ported as doing well today and it is not now believed that any of them will die. Augustus Iinhart, an expert ma chinist employed by the Neafie Levy Ship Building company, builder of the City of Trenton, recently overhauled the boat's boilers. He said today that there is no doubt in his mind that the explosion was due to the exhaustion of the water in the boilers. He gave it as his opinion tha t the boat was being run j too last anu ims e.xnaustea me water. Til hfifl i wa h 1 -i m i nil re lato h she left her wharf and it is stated that much of this lost time had been made up when the explosion occurred. The captain and other officers of the boat ahd the officials of the company deny emphatically the statement, that the City of Trenton was racing with the steamer Twilight of the opposition line when the explosion occurred. The Twi light and the City of Trenton were close together at the moment of he explos ion, the former in the lead. Those on board of the Twilight did not hear the "explosion or know of the mishap to the rival boat. until too late to be of assist ance. Never in the history of the Delaware river has there been such keen rivalry between lines of river steamers as there is this season, on both the upper and lower parts of the river races have been of daily occurrence. Only a few weeks ago the crew of Trenton steamer Poco noket was censured by Coroner James for failing to go to the asistance of some persons who were drowning. At the time the Poconoket was racing with the Twilight, the boat that led the City of Trenton yesterday when the explos ion occurred. Superintendent of Police Quirk de clared today that the matter will be thoroughly investigated by his depart ment and if the charge of racing is sus tained, the officers and crew of the wrecked steamer will be arrested. In response to a request the depart ment of public safety today received the following list of missing from per sons who had relatives and friends on the Trenton: Iouisa Tillison, 25 years. Irene Weild. 16. Clara B. Weild, 13. Dora Weild. ft. Mrs. Mathilda Cross, all of Philadel phia. Marion Ashmead, 17. v Annie Herr. 16. j Emma Eastburn, is. Miss Helen Ballentyne, 40, all of Ger mantown. In addition two or more Trenton peo ple are known to be missing. MAY BE 15 DEAD. Philadelphia. Aug. 29.

There are eight bodies in the morgue, of which six have thus far been identified. The list of missing numbers between 10 and 15. of which at least a half dozen are surely dead. Nine injured victims still remain in the hospital at the house of correc tion, and 22 others .have been dis charged from the institution. Of the injured still in the hospital two prob ably will die. Grappling for the bodies supposed to be in trie river Is going on without in termission. The sea waives of the burned steamer have been opened and the water in the hull is now being pumped out.

Famous Boer Sympathizer is Still a Democrat. Has No Intention of Going Back to Republicans. IS OUT OF POLITICS. Has Nothing to Do With Broth er's Major Candidacy. He Is at Ease With His Own Conscience. Kansas City, Aug. 29. Webster Davis is still a Democrat and has no intention of changing his political affiliations. There have been persistent local rumors to the effect that he would identify himself with the Republican party in order that he might assist his brother, Walter Davis, in his campaign for mayor of Kansas City. When asked by a reporter concerning these reports Mr. Davis denied them very emphatically. He says he does not want Walter to run for office, but if he concludes to do so it is his own priv ilege and must be done through his own efforts. Mr. Davis said: "It has always been my policy to pay no attention whatsoever to silly stories that may appear in the newspapers about me, originating as they do, of "course, in the minds of persons un friendly to me. Life is entirely too short to stop to kick at every cur that barks at our heels. But the report that I have returned to the Republican party in order to assist my brother in securing the Republican nomination for mayor ot Kansas City is being so per sistently circulated that it seems nec essary to say a word about it as a mat ter of justfte to Walter. "I have no intention of changing my present political status. My position has been. fully and clearly set forth in my book just issued, entitled "John Bull's Crime, or Assaults on Repub lics." Therein can be found my speecn delivered at the last national Demo cratic convention and other addresse3 wherein my position has been defined. "In the course of events it became necessary for me to either give up the Republican party or surrender my right and privilege of following the dictates of a conscience that never deceived me. I chose the latter and have no regrets now. That I have suffered untold heartaches will not be denied when I witnessed deeds of heroism on the part of noble Boers struggling for the same blessings my ancestors fought for and against the same old enemy, and then found my own government in sympathy with the oppressor, instead of with the oppressed. I then without fear of man or devil made a sacrifice for the right as I saw it. "For that sacrifice I have been cruelly assailed and abused by some persons. This is their privilege this Is a free country, and we should all have the right to believe as we please. I do not find fault with people because they can not believe as I do about the South African controversy, for they have not had as much light upon that question as I have. I was thare and saw it for myself and my sympathies went out to the patriot Boers and I resolved to aid them m every possible manner as long. as the struggle continues

This I have done and so long as my life is spared 1 shall continue to stand up for and fight for the oppressed as against the oppressor wherever found. "It is too bad that my brother, Wal ter Davis, should be compelled to suf fer on my account. He is a loyal Re publican and not as much of a free lance as his brother. And he should not be held responsible for his brother's political views. I do not want to see Walter run for any office, but if he concludes to do so it is his privilege, and if he has to suffer because his brother has committed the crime of do ing that which he honestly believes to be right he will bear it like a man, for he is a manly fellow. "I am voluntarily out of politics; especially will I have nothing to do with municipal politics. All my time is spent in literary work and in the lec ture field and in these Dame Fortune has smiled upon me very pleasantly during the past year. I make mention of this in order that certain persons will cease to worry themselves about what I am doing or going to do in the future. I am at peace with God and on good terms with myself, caring nothing for the plaudits or curses of the world, and if any persons don't happen to like my style I am sorry for them, for they will have to make the most of it or do the next best thing." BUILDING COLLAPSED. One Man Killed, Another Miss ing and Woman Hurt. New York, Aug. 29.

Lawsoit ivired- that be cas not asked Sir Thomas Lipton for a race be fore or after the America's cup rates and does not intend to. He thinks it would be unfair to place the owner of Shamrock II in the embarrassing posi tion such a request might produce. "Why the pleasure of Sir Thomas' visit should be marred by calling: his attention to a matter that ia unfortun ate, is beyond my understanding? of how real sport should be conducted," said Mr. Lawson. Circumstantial evidence that Mr. Lawson did not build the Independence as a speculation has come to ligrht. Be fore he placed the Contract he secured from Gen. Charies J. Paine, a member of the America's, cup committee, an opinion that the boat would 'be eligible. The Independence has cost Mr. Law son more than $50.0ij0, and now that sh is going1 to the Junk heap without having had a better trial, the. opinion is expressed that it will be a (rood many years before another Boston cup de fender is built.

Reported Shut Down of Argen tine Smelter Deaied. Plans Snbmitted For Complete JLtemodellint; of Plant. ORE IN THE CREVICES. Overhauling Done to Get the Precious Metal. Items of Interest From All Over Sunflower State. Argentine, Aug. 29 The fears of some of the people of Argentine that the shut-down of the smelter is to be per manent seem to be groundless. It is said on excellent authority that Walter T. Page, manager of the plant, has sub mitted to the directors of the smelter trust, in New Y'ork, plans for a com plete remodeling of the works at Ar gentine. These plans were laid before the di rectors several weeks ago and although they have not yet been acted upon there is strong reason for the belief that the result will be favorable. The very fact that the manager of the plant has made the proposition and had the plans prepared is taken as a straw indicating a favorable wind. Mr. Page does not say that the sus pension of operations af Argentine ia to be permanent. On the other hand the general trend of his conversation is that the smelter will be running again sooner or later, although he does not specify how soon'. He is at the Coates house. He said that the general cleaning up which is to-be made was ordered several weeks ago by the di rectors. Mr. Page, although not inclined to discuss the situation in detail, corrob orates the information given exclusive ly in The Times several days ago to the effect that there is to be a thorough overhauling of the smelter. As has been stated, the vitriol plant will be operated again as soon a it has been renovated. The copper department will probably be the next to open, there being a good demand for that metal. Although hundreds of thousands of dollars have been spent in making im provements at the plant during the last year, there is yet much to be done be fore it is in proper condition and in some departments the repairs will have to amount almost to rebuilding. 1 he plans for this work are what Mr. Page has submitted to the directors. Notwithstanding the needed repairs, the smelter at Argentine is the best one in the world, and those who are ac quainted with the situation, as much as any one not an officer of the trust can be acquainted, do not credit the re port that smoke will never pour from the big chimneys again. That precious ore in unknown amounts is hidden away in the cracks and crevices of the smelter is admitted by those in charge. That is what causes them to make the overhauling. Every corner will be cleaned and, as has been stated, the bricks of the fur naces will be crushed in order that the particles of silver and gold may be ex tracted from Ihem. This is a favorable time for the clean ing up that is to be made, the ship ments of ore to all of the smelters be ing smaller than usual. It is consid ered absolutely certain that as soon as the shipments increase, v?hieh they are almost sure to do within the next few months, the smelter at Argentine will be running full blast again. Mr. Page is giving the renovating work his personal attention and will spend a good portion Of his time here while it is being done. He has charge of the Omaha smelter and oversees other interests of the big trust through out the west and southwest. Employes are being notified every day that their services will be needed no longer. These notices of course cast a gloom over Argentine, but they do not sefm to be good cause for lasting sor row. The prospects for reopening are too good for that. Just when the di rectors will act upon the proposition to rebuild a portion of the plant is? not known, but It is believed that the smelter jvill not be idle longer than six months, and that one or more of the departments will be Operated during the greater part of that time. BAXTER REUNION- Senator Burton Delivers the Princi pal Address. Baxter Springs. Kan., Aug. 2ft. The Baxter reunion was formally turned over to the visiting Veterans yesterday and from now until Saturday night they will remain in full possession. The first roll call by states took place this after noon. Illinois led, with 258 in line;Iowa came second, with 211; Kansas third, with US: Missouri fourth, With lll;Ohio fifth, with 76. When one lonesome vet eran stepped to the front when Missis sippi was called the old soldiers gave him three cheers. Senator J. R. Burton delivered an address this afternoon. He dropped In with no speech prepared. "What shall I sav he asked, after being introduced by Col. L C. Weldy. "Tell the truth," shouted an old veteran in the audience. "All right." replied the senator, "but I will refrain from talking about myself." He then took truth as the theme, and for an hour held the close attention of the audience. It was one of the happiest talks Burton ever made. He got off on the right foot. He applied the text to politics, and governmental affairs, and said the reason the Union men won the civil war was because they were on the right side and fought for the truth. He Incidentally remarked that the Republi can party stood for a greater per cent of truth than any other political party, and for that reason it was kept in power. George W. Wheatley, of Galena, de livered the principal address at the camp fire last night, The people continue to roll in from all sections. Yesterday afternoon Governor Stanley and the other state officers were here. Four postmasters called on Sen ator Burton here yesterday Peter Foley of Parsons, Seth Wrells of Erie, Sir Gould of Weir City, and C. R.Atchi son of Columbus. Capt. W. J.

Davis, the well known gardener, says it is not too late yet to raise a, crop of potatoes, and he planted a plat of ground to potatoes Mon day. His decision to make this experiment was the result uf an accidental discov ery. The other day he left some par lially rotted potatoes in a bucket and a shower of rain covered them with water. They remained in water about 24 hours and he then threw them out under a tree in the shade. In a day or two he noticed that they were sprouting, some of them having sprouts nearly an inch long. This gave him the idea. He selected small potatoes for the ex periment, soaked them in a tub 24 hours and then poured them on the ground in the siiade and turned the tub over then:. The next day he cut off the stem and planted them. He has kept his ground cultivated, thus retaining the moisture, and it was in splendid shape. He says with frost at the usual time he has no doubt of making potatoes. If Mr. Davis' theory is correct he could have kept still and made it valuable, to himself, but he is not built along these lines, and is willing to give others the benefit of what he learns. He says he would like to see every farmer in Cowley county raise a crop of late potatoes and as the experiment can be made at little or no cost it mignt oe well to try it. CATTLE ALL RIGHT. I Musgreal Says They Are in Good Condition. Siallna, Aug. 29. "The cattle of Kan sas are in tine shape now," says I. Musgreal, one of the cattle inspectors of that state. The ranges and pas tures are green, the grass is good and there is plenty of fodder in sight. The two diseases which are the most to be feared among cattle, Texas fever and the black leg, are decreasing. The fever is kept out by rigid inspection, 'tne black leg is a disease which affects only calves and young animals. It is caused by overfeeding. Ihe animals become fatf and sluggish. The circulation of their blood becomes poor and finally be comes stagnant in the veins and blood poisoning sets in. If you remove the skin of the leg of an animal afflicted with the disease you will find that the flesh is almost black. LAND FOR COLLEGE.

Lincoln, Neb., Aug. 29. The Republi can state convention nominated this ticket: Justice of Supreme Court S. Sedge wick, of York. P.egents of University Carl J. Ernest of Lancaster; H. L Goold, of Keith. The action of Governor Savage in pa roling from the penitentiary Former State Treasurer Jos. S. Bartley furnish ed, as was expected, the only real ex citement of the convention. An effort to dispose of the question of an in dorsement or disapproval of the gover nor s action outside the convention sig nally failed. Supporters of the governor did sue ceed in having all resolutions referred to the committee ort platform without debate, but the committee itself report ed in turn against the parole, and.while not impugning the motives of the gov ernor, demanded the return of the ex- treasurer to the penitentiary and was nuMiauieu uy me convention. The nominations were made without friction, and then the platform was read. The plank on national issues says: "We commend to the considerate judgment of the people, the policies, purposes and achievements of the na tional administration; the re-establishment of prosperity by a return to the policy of protection to American indus try; the repeal of laws which paralyzed industry and the enactment of legis lation which opened the mills to the la bor of America and created an ever in creasing market for our bounteous crops: the steadfast adherence to a fin ancial policy which has re-established and augmented national, municipal and individual credit at home and abroad and reduced the rate of interest to the lowest, point in our history; the incal culable increase in the value of labor and property throughout our country, brought about by honest and intelligent endeavor to give the people a stable dollar and a chance to earn It; t'e great reduction of debts by payment thereof, which has changed the nation from a debtor to a creditor and placed our property on an enduring founda tion, where it will continue so long on allowed there to remain; the enormous balance in our favor in our trade with foreign nations, which makes us tne treasury, as agriculture makes us the granary of the world; the industrial supremacy of America, which has re suited from the operation of legislation giving opportunity to American intelli gence, skill and enterprise; the success ful conditions of the war with Spain brilliant and victorious, illuminating the pages of history and adding new glory to our flag. The suppression of a wicked and unjustifiable conspiracy and insurrection against the sovereign ty of our nation in the Philippines and establishing in that archipelago the principles upon which the popular gov enrmnnt and equality of rights depend; the universally applauded outcome of the far reaching international compli cations in China, Which seriously men aced the peace of the world, was the position taken and maintained by the T-nited States and adds new lustre to the brilliant history of American diplo macy. "The right of every man to enjoy the fruit Of his labor should be insured by every known safeguard. Its invasion either by the Ijlacklist or by the boy cott is contrary to the spirit of Ameri can institutions. AVe recognize the right of WHge workers to organize for mutual protection and the promotion of mutual interests, and we demand for them most ample protection against coercion in any form. But we draw the line at vengeance and lawlessness, which must be suppressed for the maintenance of law and order and the preservation of the liberties guaranteed to all. "We favor the encouragement of ir rigation under state and national legis lation." On tha Hartley parole the platform Says: "The Republicans of Nebraska dis claim for the party any sympathy with custodians of public money found guilty of the betrayal of secret trusts. Without impunging the motives of the governor in any way, we deprecate any exercise of executive clemency tending to create the false impression that the Republican party is disposed to con done the unlawful embezzlement of public funds under any circumstance. and we request the immediate call of the parole granted to Jos. S. Bartley, by the governor." Before action was taken on the re port, the privilege was asked and grant ed Governor Savage to make a state ment. He reminded the convention that he alone was responsible, and that if he had erred in his act of clemency to a man convicted of embezzlement the fault must rest with himself, and not with the Republican party of the state. Following the governor's statement, the debate on the concluding paragraph of the resolutions began in earnest and for an hour furnished the only real ex citement of the day. The speeches were marked by much bitterness and Governor Savage was not spared. While his action was warm ly defended by a number, who credited him with only the best motives, the convention placed the stamp of disap proval on the parole, and by a vote of 99 to 1GS, adopted the platform as a whole. Will Not Quit the Qama. Baltimore, Aug. 29. Manager Mr Grew has denied the published deports to the effect that he is to be perma nently retired from active baseball on account of his injured knee. He said last night: "My knee is now in a plas ter cast and the injury will keep me out of the game for some time, but I have no intention of retiring from base ball. As soon as my condition will allow I will be playing again." Hart, the oriole first baseman, who was fined by President Johnson for assaulting an umpire, last night night stated that he would not pay the tine imposed and that he would leave the game rather than submit to the ruling. $21.35 Cleveland and Return via Bock Is land Houte.

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL, THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1001. RAILROAD HEWS, Grain Blockade at Kansas City is Worse. Santa Fe Facing a Dilemma of Difficult Solution. MAT CUT KASSAS CITY. Would Greatly Injure the Kan sas City Grain Market. Santa Fe Official Explains Cause of the Trouble. One of the prominent Santa Fe freight officials gave this explanation y-sterday of the grain blockade at Kansas City: "Orain is purchased by grain .leaders anil commission men at Kansas City, and shipped from I he point of origin in Kansas to themselves in Kansas City. On the arrival of the grain in Kan Fas City, The dealer seeks for a pur chaser "for his grain. Meantime no in dication is given on the bills as to whai disposition is to be made of the gram jitter its arrival in Kansas City. It is simply held in the Santa Fe cars tiii thi; deal'T finds a purchaser for his grain. This purchaser may want the erairi shipped out over any of the con necting roads at Kansas City. ".Now the trouble is that the connect ing roads contract with dealers for shipments in excess of their ability to handle the grain. The original con signee, having by this time furnish d the Santa Ke with an order for the dis position of tile giain, is not at any ex pense for the use of the Santa Fe cars as a storage place for the grain, and the Santa Fe is. unable to move its grain to connecting roads because they are flooded with other business. "The trouble is not altogether caused by heavy grain shipments. Movements of other classes of freight are also very heavy. This intensities the difficulties. The Santa Fe is seriously considering- the advisability of ceasing to con sign grain to Kansas City during the present blockade. We have practically stopped consigning gram to tne Frisco the Cnieatro Alton and the Great Western, because they can not take care of it promptly. They announce in the morning that they are open, but w ithin a few hours they have again be come blockaded. "it would be very unpleasant to the Santa Fe to do anything which woul 1 hurt Kansas City as a grain market. but we must protect our own interests "Our seven cent rate to Chicago is being continued from day to day. It will be so continued as long as the present situation exists." This morning's Kansas City Times Bays of the situation there: "Douglas Dallam, commercial agent of the Santa Fe, left last night for Chi oago. where he will confer today with Trafic Manager Biddle in reference to the grain situation at Kansas City. Ao a. resuit of this conference it is proba ble that instructions wiil be issued to country shippers to consign grain to Kansas City only in cases where desti nation can be shown or when the orders are for the direct delivery to other lines. "Such action, as has been stated, will amount to making effective Mr. Kid dle's threat to cease consigning grav to Kansas Citv. "Although there were 4TS cars of wheat on the Santa Fe tracks yester day morning, the open rate of 7 cents from Kansas City to Chicago was not put in. The Santa. Fe people are confi dent that other lines are making as low as 6 cents on wheat from Kansas City to Chicago, and the open rate of 7 cents may not again be made effec tive. Said a Santa Fe freight man yes terday: 'We are satisfied that wheat is be ing hauled from Kansas City to Chi cago at t cents. We decided not to put In the 7-eent rate today, in order to not'? what effect, if any, it would have. ur people have as yet taken no action on the question of making an open 6 tent rate.' "if the Santa Fe traffic department decides to issue the contemplated in structions to agents the road will, of course, secure the long haul to Chicago on the bulk of its wheat from Kansas and Oklahoma. However, the freight men deny that this fact has any weight in the matter. They say that ten days Is the average delay to grain cars in Kansas City and that at this time the cars are easily worth $!0 per day. They also declare that if the prompt return An Excellent Combination.

IS GROWING DAN GEKOTJS. Percentage of Persons Injured on Railways Increasing. The statistics of railway accidents in this and in all other countries are appall ing every year, says the Railway Age. Taken in the aggregate and without com parison with the number of casualties from other sources, they seem, at iirst glance, to prove the locomotive to be an enxine of destruction more terrible than war. But when it is remembered that the number of men engaged in operating the railways of the United States is many times greater than alt the armies anil na vies of the world, and that the number of passenger journeys in a year in this country alone is about halt" tile number of tiie entire population of our globe, it will tte seen that a sivat number of cas ualties is to be exnected. The question will be. is the number unreasonably large, and may it be expected to decrease or increase? The last statistics of the interstate com merce commission show that in the year cnJed on June Jo, 1h, the railways in the T'niied States then aggregating r.t3.tf0 miles, caused the dea.th by accidents of T.siiit persons and tne miurv ot WK-W more.

And yet the live years under consideration have been remarkable tor the vast expenditure of skill, monev and labor on the improvement of road way, structures, track, machinery, cars and appliances or all Kinds looking to in creased safety of operation. Almost the entire railway mileage of the United States lias been equipped with satetv couplers, automatic power brakes, electric signals, tieai i.r rails, stronger linages and stouter cars, while railway operation and management has developed into a high art. exercised bv men of special abil ity under the restraint and stimulus of t-arefullv developed rules and reeulations The railways are vastly better in physical condition, vastly better equipped and far more carefully and scientifically operated than they were live years ago. Hut the more complicated a machine the greater its dangers: the greater the number of trains and passengers, the greater the number of accidents; the nigner the speed, tne greater tne peril. In live vears the number of passengers carried has increased 32!2 per cent: the numoer ot passenger miles nas increased H;l per cent: the number of employes has increased w per cent: the number of en gines, cars aul trains, and the amount of freight handled, have also ineretsed enormously, and the average rate of speed, freight and passenger, has crown higher and still higher. In spite of tiie adoption, at enormous cost, ot surety ap pliances from which so much was hoped, far more employes are killed and in Hired: in spite of double tracks and automatic signals and every other safeguard the proportion of passengers killed and in jured to the number carried had in creased. Railroading has grown more in tense; the use of railways ha.s grown more universal: higher speed, more fre quent trains, more tremendous momentum are required: people are more reckless, more ready to take chances, more eager to do it and to get there, and they must pay the penalty. If railroading is more dangerous it is because the, public will have it ho. WILL RUN TRAINS. People on Lincoln Branch of XT. P. Get What They Wanted. The running of passenger trains on the Lincoln branch of the Union Pacific has been resumed. The service was cut off some time ago, and since then but one accommodation train has been run each way a day. For the past sev eral months complaints have been com ing in to the board of railroad commis sioners regarding the unsatisfactory service, residents of Hill City claiming that sometimes a train did not go over the branch for several days at a time. Hereafter the passenger train which runs from Salina to Plainville will be run over the Lincoln branch, through Hill City, to Colby. This will give Hill City and points west a daily passenger train in addition to the regular mixed train. The order establishing the new passenger service was issued yesterday by J. O. Brinkerhoff. general superin tendent of the company. BUILD A VIADUCT. Rock Island and Union Pacific Pro pose a Plan to K. C, Kans. Kansas City, Aug. 29. One of the im portant matters that will come up be fore the Kansas City, Kas., council will be that of the Tenth street viaduct. The Union Pacific and the Rock Island railroad companies have submitted a proposition to the city, and the city has decided that tiie proposed structure shall be built at Tenth street, but be fore the railroad companies will build the Tenth street viaduct they den and a pledge on the part of the city that all future questions concerning Mill street be stayed for a period of ten years, at the expiration of which time the com panies agree to build another viaduct at Mill street, or open a grade cross ing. The Fifth and Sixth wards of the city are separated by the tracks and yards of the Union Pacific and Rock Island, and the only public thoroughfare con necting the two wards is the Seventh street viaduct. This part of the city has grown to such an extent that it has become necessary to establish an other public highway across the tracks. The railroad companies cannot afford to nave a grade crossing established, and have agreed to defray all of the expense of building a viaduct at Tenth street. NEW ADVERTISEMENTS. Santa Fe Has Issued a Series of Newspaper Illustrations. A brand new series of newspaper ad vertising matter is being issued by the passenger department of the Santa Fe. It will soon be ready for general dis tribution, and will begin to appear in the newspapers. The advertising consists of double column cuts of western scenes, ar tistically drawn by Norton. In each cut there is a space left for type to be mor tised in. It is thus possible to use any reading matter desired with the cuts. The cuts are intended especially for use in eastern newspapers, and repre sent some typicalscenesof the wild and woolly west. In the west, the same cuts will be used, but will be mainly for daily newspapers. 1 he following are the designs which are to appear on the advertisements: Oklahoma cowboy; Arizona prospector; Jioki snake dancer; Navajo weaver; Apache Indian of New Mexico; China man from Chinatown. San Francisco: iloki maiden; bather, Coronado beach; mountain climbers; 3S4 pound sea bass; mission priest, California; Mexican vanquero. FOURTEEN LINES CHARTERED.

Negotiating With Pacific Mail Steam ers For Oriental Connections. New Tork, Aug. 29. The directors of the Atchison railway and the J'acltic Mail Steamship company have under consideration a proposal to utilize the steamships of the latter company as a connection to the Orient for the rapidly increasing traffic of the Atchison. Vice President Morton of the Atchi son railway, who has charge of the negotiations on behalf of the railroad, is in this city, but declines to give any particulars of the conditions of the pro posed arrangement with the Pacific Mail company or the likelihood of its being put in force. It is understood, however, says the Evening Post, that there is every prospect of an acceptable agreement being concluded which will give the Atchison railway the facilities it needs for developing its commerce with Asiatic countries and which its officers regard as seriously hampered under its present contract for steam ship service from California, particu larly with the new line into San Fran cisco completed and In operation. Negotiations were at one time pend ing with the Hamburg-American com pany to put on new vessels on the Pa cific, but they have not been renewed since they were broken off some months ago. CONTRACT AWARDED. Johnson Bros. Faught to Build 266 Miles of Railroad. Kansas City, Mo., Aug. 29. A tele gram from St. Louis announces that the contract for construction of the roadbed of the Arkansas Choctaw railroad was 1st today to Johnson Bros. Faught, from Wichita Falls, Tex., to Arkinda. I. T., 266 miles. They agree to build 266 miles of roadbed and have it finished by September 10, 1902. This gives them a year to work, as it will take two weeks for them to get tneir first gangs started. The amount in volved in the contract is probably 50,000. SENT TO OHIO. Remains of Brakeman Ziegler Sent to His Old Home. Newton, Aug. 29. The remains of L. E. Ziegler, the brakeman who was killed in the wreck near Clements yes terday, were shipped to his old home in Ohio on No. 8 last night. He was a young man about 25 years of age, and was single. He had been working lor the Santa Fe about six months. Declared a 2 Per Cent Dividend. New York. Aug. 29. The directors of the Chicago. Indianapolis Louisville railroad (Monon route) have met here and declared a semi-annual dividend of 2 per cent. They also approved the annual report for the fiscal year ended June 30, which will be published short- lv. No question of a prospective change in the control of the property was discussed. Special Rate to Pittsburg. The Santa Fe has announced a spe cial rate of $1.50 for the round trip from Iola and intermediate points to Pittsburg on Labor day. September 2. This rate is for the purpose of getting the people to attend the big celebration which is always a feature of the year at Pittsburg. The people there are planning to have a bigger demonstra tion this year than ever before. Required Three Locomotives. Newton. Aug. 29. It took three huge locomotives to pull the first section of train No. 34 into the Newton yards this morning, so heavy was the tonnage. A few years ago it would have been con sidered next thing to a penitenti-ry offense to have run such a train, but it now seems to be the policy of all railroads.

Graham, foreman of the gang in the south shop, has decided that a rest is in order and this week will take his family to Cedar Rapids. Ia., for recuperation of a weeit or ten aays. Dining car 1SC3 is being converted into a cnair car. juiotner diner, the iy. is being fitted up for a business car and it is probable will be assigned to the use of X hlrd V ice President ivendrick. Water service men have begun repairing tne two Laugerwooa macmnes used tor spreading the earth on that part of the road, where grade reductions and similar improvements are Demg made. It is rumored that Dick Ford will leave shortly to accept a position as master mechanic on a Texas road. He will be greatly missed as his wit and cute re marks are unequaled in the south shop. V. M. Parkerson, engineer in the boiler shop, is still sufterinK from an attack of what has been called neuralgia, and it is likely that he will be out for some time yet. George Rollins has charge of the en gine while Parkerson is absent. William Deveny. who three weeks ago quit a job as roundhouse machinist and went to Chickasha. I. T., where he opened a restaurant, is back at his former place. He sold the restaurant and for a while was at El Reno while the excitement was on there. George Bartel and Frank Harris, ma chinists who abandoned the bench long enough for a short trip to the mountains, are in again. Bartel, who has a reputa tion a-s a camera man, says he secured a number of fine pictures while in Colo rado. August Stridell, who works on way cars, was called to Leonardville Wednes day night by the death of his father-in-law. S. Rose. Mr. Rose had been suffer ing from cancer for about nine months and his end came not entirely unexpect edly. The bicycle policeman, who last week wTas so conspicuous east of the shops, has not appeared lately. The last time he visited that district he was the object of frequent jeering, and from that no doubt understands that his presence is not desirable. There is less doing around the new blacksmith shop just now than at any time since construction was begun. On Wednesday a solitary pair of painters was at work finishing an outside job. But little will be going on until the transfer of machinery begins. There is no dearth of business for the tinners working on coaches and freight cars east of the tracks. Not many weeks ago they were given a nine-hour day in which to do their work, but so much of it has accumulated that they have re turned to the ten-hour schedule. Joseph Matthews of the planing mill is proud of a large Newfoundland dog which he has in his possession. The ca nine has the trait of rescuing so far de veloped that It frequently rushes into the streets at the critical time and saves hap less children from the wheels of passing vehicles. Hamilton Swan, assistant foreman of the brass foundry, accompanied by his wife, son and two daughters, left Wed nesday for Manitou. Col., where he wul remain for a week or two. George Pat rick, a brass molder, his wife and young est son also started for the mountains on the same train. Andrew Johnson, who has followed his trade, that of carpenter, in the sheds for twelve years or longer, has quit and ex pects to work around town. Johnson was a native of Sweden and has had the rep utation of being one of the strongest men east of the tracks. J. R. Davidson, a brass molder who lives at 136 Adams street, is enjoying a visit trom 1'. c:. inner ana ramny ot Brookfield, Mo. Mr. Miller is a Hanni bal St. Joe conductor running out of that place. Next week the two families will camp out and fish on the Wakarusa. Conductor John MeCambridge and Brakemen Harry Watson and Edward Reese are in charge of the Scranton "turn-around" which handles coal be tween Topeka and the Osage county mines. They are only supplying for a few days and Willi probably be relieved by a reetular crew. George and John Chilson. father and uncle respectively of Clarence Chilson of the boiler shop, will leave in a few days for Eureka Springs, Ark., where they will spend the winter. Clarence, who was down south last winter, says that the only way to enjoy oneself is to put in the winter months hunting and fishing in that country. Down at the pump house the other day during the noon hour a friendly wrestling match was pulled off, Frank Schmitten dorf of the machine shop and Heinrich Voth. engineer at the pump, being the principals. After two interesting trials the contest was won by Voth. Richard Bancroft of the water service acted as referee. Wednesday afternoon the valve of a freight engine standing in the yards east of the depot got funny and for 20 minutes or more couldn't be controlled. Some ob ject under it would not allow the steam to shut off and the result was that the whistle blew continuously until the loco motive was taken back to the round house and the cause of the trouble re moved. The social committee of the Railroad T. M. C. A. will hold a meeting at 8 o'clock Friday evening for the purpose of map ping out the work for the winter. The so cial features of the association were es pecially strong last winter, the results were excellent and it is expectd that that portion of the work during the coming season will be quite up to what it was last year. Train No. 6 on the Santa Fe is always considered one of the leading passenger trains passing through Toneka. but it was especially popular Wednesday even ing. Before reaching here it was more than comfortably crowded and after pull ing in it was boarded by a large crowd. A eood many were compelled to stand and altogether traffic was something ex traordinary. Lately No. 6 has been run ning in two sections, but such was not the case Wednesday. The crowd which would have tone east on No. 2 earlier in the afternoon was disappointed by the delay of the latter until after 6 o'clock, and of course not wishing to wait longer, took the 4:40 train. BOILEDJLIVE, Eleven Dead as Result of Steam boat Disaster. City of Trenton Accident Worse Than First Reported. MANY PERSONS HURT. Some Are Missing and May Be in Wreck. Steamboat is a Charred and Blackened Hulk. Philadelphia, Aug. 29. While the Wil mington Steamboat company's steam boat City of Trenton was on her way from this city to Trenton, N. J., her port boiler exploded, killing seven per sons and injuring over a score of oth ers. Four passengers are missing. DEAD. J. T. CHEW, assistant engineer. MISS ELIZABETH GREEN, Phila delohia. Two firemen, names unknown. One deck hand, name unknown. Two passengers, names unknown. MISSING. Mrs. John Matthews, Philadelphia, Mrs. Matilda Cross, Philadelphia. Two children who were seen to Jump overboard. INJURED. Theressa Therin, Philadelphia, fatal ly. Louisa Panschoick, Philadelphia, fa tally. A large number of residents of Phila delphia, Camden and towns nearby were less seriously hurt. After the explosion the boat took fire and ran aground. She lies a wrecked and blackened hulk in the marshes opposite Torres dale, 16 miles above this city. Her hold is filled with water, and it is feared more of her passengers and crew may be found in the bottom of the boat when the water is pumped out. The City of Trenton makes daily trips between Philadelphia and Tren ton. At a point near Torresdale the steam pipe connecting with the port boiler burst with a loud report. Before any of the passengers or employes had a chance of seeking places of safety an other explosion occurred and this time the port boiler was rent in twain. Scalding steam and water poured in the cabin and sections of the woodwork of the boat were torn away by the force of the explosion. Those of the passengers who were not scalded and scarred by the steam and boiling water were struck by the flying portions of the splintered cabin. Legs and arms were broken and faces and bodies were parboiled." The water was only four feet deep and many of the passengers waded ashore. All of the seriously injured were hastily conveyed to the hospital at Hel- lesburg, three miles below Torresdale. Chief Engineer Murphy, who was on watch when the accident happened, re ported to the officials in this city that the boiler which exploded carried only 150 pounds of steam. Murphy, along with an oiler named Bryson, had just left the boiler room when the explosion occurred, and both are positive that the boiler did not carry the limit of steam allowed by law. Murphy was slightly injured, and Bryson escaped without a scratch. The assistant engineer, Chew, and a fireman, who were off watch and were on detk, were killed. The steamer was launched last March, and was 162 feet long. Late last nlgnt two additional bodies were recovered from the wreck of the steamer, and were brought to the morgue in this city. At midnight the city police, who are searching the river, caught the body of a boy on their grap- Ung Irons in the channel of the river where the explosion occurred. Later the body of a middle-aged man was re covered. This makes a total of eleven lives lost by the accident. There is a strong belief that more victims are in the river. Four more bodies have been identified at the morgue. They are Arthur Lans ing, a molder. of Trenton, N. J.; James O'Connell. fireman on the City of Tren ton, of vvilmington, Del.; Matt Mable. fireman, Philadelphia, and August Mable, deck hand, Philadelphia, COTTON MILL STRIKE. Trouble Has Set in at Charleston, South Carolina. Charleston, S. C, Aug. 29. Textile union No. 21 at its meeting last night declared a strike in the Olympia, Gran by, Richland and Capital City mills until the authorities rescind their ac tion forcing operatives to abjure the unions. The union's strength will be shown when the mills open for work. Conservative estimates place the num ber of strikers at 900 or 1,000. The mill authorities have begun the swearing out of writs to eject the strik ing tenants from the dwelling houses which are owned by the mills and leased to the operatives for two weeks at a time. President Smith Whally, in a card to the state, denies his reported statement that the "mill men in South Carolina have entered into an ironclad agree ment to employ no union labor." Astounded the Editor. Editor S. A. Browne of Bennettsvillc, S. C. was once immensely surprised. "Through long suffering from dyspepsia," he writes, "my wife was greatly run down. She had no strength or vigor and suffered great distress from her stomach, but she tried Electric Bitters which helped her at once, and after using four bottles she is entirely well; can eat any thing. It's a grand tonic, and its gentle laxative qualities are splendid for torpid liver." For indigestion, loss of appetite, stomach and liver troubles it's a positive, guaranteed cure. Only oec at A. J.

Several marked innovations are to be made in lawn tennis next season. A new style of net is to be used, the ball is to be slightly changed and some of the rules will be adapted to international conditions. At the close of the all-comers national tournament at Newport Dr. James Dwight, president of the United States National Lawn Tennis associatipn, said: 'The English tennis players who came over last year, while they did not fully appreciate the conditions that prevail in this country, were expert criti.es and pointed out several defects that are to be speedily remedied. The white nets under the dazzling sunlight they complained of and said it was im possible to see the ball as it bounded in the opposing court. New nets are to be used w hich are made of a fine light brown twine. The top is a band of white canvas. Such a net can easily be seen through and does not dazzle the vision of the contestants by its white ness. The new ball will be as hard as the English one and the variation in size and weight will be so slight that it will not affect the play in any way." GUSHEIl IS CURBED. The Adjacent Country Is Flooded With Oil. Beaumont, Tex., Aug. 29. The wild Palestine-Beaumont oil well which is responsible for three deaths, has been placed under control without further fatalities, by Frederick Chase, the diver. As the land surrounding the well is covered with oil the country will be flooded with water. This will. It is believed, carry the oil to the Neches river, whence it will flow into the Gulf of Mexico. KANSAS GETS TWO Squadrons of the 4th Cavalry For Forts Riley and Leavenworth. Washington, Aug. 29. Orders have been issued at the war department sending one squadron of the Fourth cavalry, which arrived at San Francisco from Manila on the transport Hancock, to Ft. Riley, another to Jefferson Bar racks and another to Ft. Leavenwortn. A recent order of the department as signed a field battery to Jefferson Bar racks, but as there is some question as to sufficient quarters for eight troops of cavalry and the battery also, it is probable that the battery will be sent to another post. Bananas Destroyed. Kingston, Jamacia, Aug. 29 The fruit situation on the north side of the island s becoming serious. A majority of the growers decline to sell at the reduced prices. Force is being used to prevent the minority from taking bananas to the shipping centers. Thousands of bunches have been destroyed by machetes along the road ways. Txtra police precautions have been taken and several people arrested on charge of rioting. Great excitement prevails in the fruit districts. Lynchers Sent to Prison. Wetumpka, Ala., Aug. 29. George Howard was today convicted of murder in the first degree and was sentenced to life imprisonment. Howard was a member of the mob which lynched Rob ert White, a negro, in this county, some months ago. Howard is one of the most prominent farmers in this section of the county. White, who was ac cused of shooting at a white man, was taken from the officers who had him in custody and hanged. What a Tale It Tells.

ALLOWS NO HITS. Burns, farmed Out Cardinal, Fitches Brilliantly Against Mathews. Grand Rapids, Aug. 29 Pitcher Burns of the St. Iiuis club, farmed out to Grand Itapids six weeks ago. pitched an excellent game Sunday against the Mathews team of the West ern league. Not a hit or a run was made off him by the enemy, while the men behind Burns batted out 13 safe ties and 11 runs. Burns was brought here from Ashta bula, Ohio, two months ago, and after being worked in practice and tried in two innings of a game that had already been put in the fire, he was leased to Grand Rapids. Since joining that club he has pitched effectively and has won most of his games. Burns Is young and ambitious and might be a valuable addition to the working pitching staff at the present time when lane arms seem to prevail. Wicker is practically useless for the remainder of the season, it is sail. Murphy and Harper, too, are complain ing of their arms. Burns may have a sound member if nothing else.

The redac tion in the death rate of the country as shown by the last census will be viewed with alarm by the coffin trust. Before appointing candidates to office In the future it might be well for the government to ascertain whether or not the applicant has been recommended by Perry Heath. Senator Ilanna will go on the stump in an effort to again carry his own state for the party. Perhaps Col. Hanna be lieves political parties are not wholly devoid of gratitude. Indianapolis Sun: Coming; adminis trations wiil, if Perry rieath is left out of them, be wary of placing Indiana men In positions of trust. Already we've done enough to warrant exclusion from the distribution of spoils. It is reported from Chicago that the Burlington will probably abandon its suburban service of 23 trains a day ow ing to competition from trolley lines. The electric lines have become powerful factors in passenger traffic through country districts. Washington Pott: Chairman Jameaky Joiies is not utterly devoid of political I run.nir.it. He has managed to secure I the opposition of Coin Harvey. If he ould but arrange to manage the cam paign against himself, Jones would be sure to be re-elected to tha senate without a quiver. Creat Britain counted a profit of $30,000,000 on Cue operation of her postal service last year. But members of parliament are not permitted to send pianos, sewing machines and baseburn ers through the mails free of charge. In this country there was a deficit of $3,000,000. The peace negotiations between the powers and China are again at a stand still. The trouble appears to have been transferred to Europe. The brother of the Chines emperor, en route to Ber lin to apologise for the murder of Baron Ketteler has stopped In Switzerland and seems disposed to refuse to proceed further. The cause of the balk, so far as can be made out, is that the kaiser demands that the prince shall bump his head nine times on the floor. The prince thinks the number too large and wants it reduced to eight or perhaps seven, and there the matter stands. Tiie farmer works lnnger hours and receives less pay for his labor than he ought to receive. An illustration is at hand. Over the telephone from a neigh boring country store potatoes were quoted at $1 40 per bushel. The farmer came into the same place and soid his potatoes for $1 per bushel. The buyer knew the farmer was selling below the market but said nothing. Worcester Spy. How much should a farmer receive for a bushel of rotatoes anyway? But there are farmers and farmers. It will be a long time before anybody catches a Kansas farmer selling anything 40 cents a bushel below the market price. The western farmer reads the newspa pers and knows what is going on. THE GRAIN OUTLOOK. tFrom tha Indianapolis News. The year promises to be a good one for the American farmer, at all events. The light corn crop, although, in all likelihood, not so light as feared at one time, will be somewhat compensated for in higher prices, while a light wheat crop in Europe will tend to make good prices for our large wheat yield. The Mark Lane Express, one of the first authorities in Europe, confirms the re ports of the shortage of the French wheat crop. It estimates the total at not more than SCO.000.000 bushels; so that France, which normally exports wheat, will this year have to import about 60.W0.0fK) bushels. It estimates that the total yieid of northwestern Europe will be Rfi9.000.fVio bushels, and the requirements of this territory for consumption SH.pfw.OtiO bushels, leaving a .shortage of 26.00n.OOO bushels to be supplied by importation. Our own crop it estimates at. t73.O00.nft0 and our home needs at 4O0.0AO.000 bushels, which would -ive us a surplus almost exactly the amount that northwestern Europe will Coed. Our principal competitors, India and Egypt, it calculates, will have no wplus for export this year, while the surplus of Russia, Argentina, Austral asia and the Balkan states will be ex hausted in supplying the requirements of Italy, Austria-Hungary, China and Spain. Thus there would be a ready market for the whole wheat surplus of the United States, and at prices that will mean rrofit. Recent events indicate the strength of the foreign demand. During the week ending August 10, 8,000,000 bushels of wheat were cleared from the various ports of this country; and for the week ending August 17, 9,000,000 bushels were cleared a phenomenal amount. Dur ing July wa exported 18.000.000 bushels, while in July of last year we exported only 5,500,000 bushels. It appears that the foreigners are simply profiting by the lesson of previous wheat shortages, and have laid in ahead, while prices were still low. This early buying may prevent such another sharp advance in our wheat market as there was in the spring of ISMS. But it is believed in any case that our farmers are sure of receiving prices bo much above the av erage that the aggregate profits will be second only to the phenomenal year of 1SS8. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. Too much sympathy does more harm than good. Whenever a man (rets hurt, "consol ing" friends gather to relate how at one time they were hurt worse) than he. When a man says "I am not in the habit of repeating them, but;" it means he is about to repeat a compliment on himself. What has become of the aid fashion ed woman who made one ehicken do the work of three by stewing it with dumplings? WThen a woman has trouble with a rival, she realizes that she Is not living; up to her favorite novel heroines who are always Brave and Calm. When a man dies, his widow doesn't forget in her great grief, to arrange that her relatives shall ride next to the hearse, and that his can come in at any old place. The first grandchild came to an Atchison man some ten years ago, and in his great rejoicing he bought it a $12 crib, a $15 baby buggy, a $17 high chair, and various toys whose cost ag gregated quite a sum. He thought no more about it until ether daughters married and began to present him with grandchildren, and now finds that he is in a box. He supposed they would understand that, there is a difference between the First grandchild and those that coma atter, but they re fuse to see it, and as he caa't afford to duplicate his gifts, the worst family quarrel in the history of Atchison is boiling over with no one cool headed enough to lift it from the fire. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Wise is the candidate who knows his own backers. A woman's silence often means mora than her words. Many a woman smiles inwardly while crying outwardly. It improves some men to get a piece of a woman's vocabulary. Nature seems to take special delight in upsetting the weather man's predic tions. Any man can get his name in the pa pers. All he has to do is get cured of something. A large, substantial blessing awaits the genius who will invent a ripless bathing suit. After marriaga many a girl thinks her ideal shattered when it is only sprained. The man who is unable to borrow a dollar suffers from financial depres sion. Lots of people pursue a literary ca reer, but few succeed in catching up with it. A poor man who has a rich uncle may not be averse to taking the will for the deed. It simetimes happens that the visitor who comes to town to see the sight3 la one of the sights. Every actress has her photograph t; ken when she is very young, and as long as she remains on the stage her lithographs are made from that pic ture. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Hard luck a horseshoe. A church sensation drowsiness. The giddy flea enjoys a hop every night. The faster a man runs in debt the less apt he is to get ahead. The much borrowed V knows what it is to go through life entirely a loan. The man with the long head is not the one to rush into a thing headlong-. The prodigal son had to come to him self before he came to his father. Love Is blind, and that may be the reason it makes spectacles of its devo tees. When a chap has a chance to get a horse cheap he ought to drive the bar gain. The dbt of nature Is one debt that a man is dunned to death for before he settles. Marriage is more a raffle than A lot tery. On man gets the prize and the others get the shake. "What have you got that sign 'Hands Off' posted outside your works for?" asked the curious individual. "Because," returned the jocular mill-owner, "my men are on strike." Hook "Do you believe In healing by touch Nye "Yes. A friend of mine came limping down the street with rheumatism today, but when I touched him for five you ought to have seen him skip off." "Are you married?" asked the Mag istrate sternly. "No, your honor," re turned the man who had been locked up over night for Intoxication. "I got these scratches on my face by falling against a barb wire fence." REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR. From the New Tork Press. Some women ate not so red as they paint themselves. It's a short lane that has no lovers In it after it turns into the shadows. There are two things a woman can not be tempted to betray the man she loves and her age. If it weren't for their wives, some men would have breach of promise suits on their hands every week. Some married women never seem to think that men wouldn't be so anxious to flirt with them if they didn't know there was no danger of thuir having to marry them. GREGORY'S VISITOR. Gregory lay in his white bed at the hospital and wondered how his opera tion on the morrow would turn out. Would it give him back health and strength, or would it here he resolute ly turned his thoughts into brighter channels. To distract his mind he looked out of the window near his bed and wished himself in the busy street below. It was Saturday afternoon and the air was clear and bright, the sky a vivid blue; the well world must be enjoying itself. What was Ethel doing, he wondered. Was she at the matinee, the golf links or one of her club meetings? At this moment a white capped nurse came in and skillfully ministered to his wants. As she went out Gregory tried to picture Ethel in a sick room and could not. He had never been able to persuade himself that there was in her nature much of womanly sympathy She was too reserved, too stately, and then she had never been ill a day In her life, she had told him. Perhaps that was why she was cold and as averse to showing emotion as the crest of a snow covered mountain is irre sponsible to the rays of the sun. No, she would not do In a sickroom at all. Gregory declared to himself, and the next Instant began to wish that there were the 'slightest chance of her coming to see him. He decided upon considering the mat ter that she might visit a Bick man with her mother, of course, were the invalid her promised husband, but he felt Quite sure she would never set aside conventionality for ona who was merely a friend. Besides, she was too busy. She was a success In society and always had scores of engagements. Well, he would not want to see her if she brought her mother with her and the two of them sat in a row and talked commonplaces. But if only Ethel would come alone and slip her hand in his and say some thing soothing to him He turned suddenly with a restless movement that started the pain again. He thought It would go away in a mo ment, but it did not. Instead it grew to an intolerable ache that burned and throbbed cruelly. It seemed to Gregory that he could not stand it. He writhed under the agony until the sweat stood out on his forehead and tears came into his eyes. After awhile the pain lessened a lit tle, and Gregory lay white and weak and thought how unjust and cruel it was that people must suffer so. As his glance wandered through the door of his private room to the ward on the other side of the hall, he remembered having read somewhere that "pain is the only universal experience." He had never realized the truth of the words until now. Pain was universal, and none escaped it. Each one of the naerry. careless crowd in the outside world must one day leave work and pleasure and learn to endure. Suddenly his own pain came back, and Gregory bore it until ha hated hi-nself and his life and wished that the surgeon's knife might end it all next day. After all, it was a good world to be out of, a place Where suffering' was the only thing to be counted on, where one's friends could enjoy them selves while He turned his head with a sigh that was half a sob and looked out of the window again. The sunshine was less bright now, and the fall air had grown so keen that one of the nurses lowered the sash. As Gregory watched fleecy white cloiids sail across a square of blue he be came aware of a rustle of Bilk and a faint odor of perfume. A second later Ethel stood before him. She did not speak, but as she looked down at his thin, pain racked body, which before his accident had been conspicuous for its splendid strength, and saw his tears and look of suffering great drops gathered in her own eyes. She sat down beside the bed and, putting one hand in his and the other on his hot forehead, began to repeat softly the Twenty-third Psalm: 'The Lord is my shepherd; I shall not want.' Gregory was not a religious man, but the words calmed his discontent as if by magic. They seemed like cool rain after a hot. stifling day, and their beau ty and truth sank deep into his trou bled souL 'He maketh me to He down fn ureen pastures; he leadeth me beside the still waters.' When the pealm was ended. Gregory did not thank her. He waited a mo ment and then said wonderingly, "Eth el, you love me?" "Indeed, indeed yes," the girl whis pered. "I can be brave now," he declared. "Don't run away, dear." There was a glad note in his tired voice. "Please stay a little while, and won't you say that psalm again It's got such a soothing swing to it." So Ethel began the hymn, but be fore she had gone far her voice seemed to die away in the distance, and Greg ory fell asleep. He always declared afterward that he did not really awake until the oper ation was over, and he saw her bend ing over him, this time with joy in her eyes instead of tears.

All because one man is sick, the work of repairing the asphalt pavements Is at a standstill today. The mam who is sick is the engineer who, operates the little steam roller. It requires considerable skill, and a special acquaintance with that kind of a machine, to operate the roller suc cessfully. A substitute for the regular man cannot be picked up on the street corner. And as the roller is an absolute necessity to the work of repairing.there was nothing to do but knock off work on the resurfacing of Quincy street. Several small gangs of men are at work in other streets patching up holes. It is thought that work can ba resumed on Quincy street tomorrow. NOT TREATED FAIRLY. Mayor Hughes Says County Owea City $4,970. Mayor Hughes says that there is $4, 970.66 due the city from the- county in taxes on property bought in by tha county at delinquent tax sale, instead of $1,500 as reported. Part of this $4, 870.66 will be paid over to the city in October. The part which will be paid is the part which is due tha city on pro perty which has been redeemed by the owners. "The county does not treat the city fairly," said Mayor Hughes. "Wnen property was redeemed under the old system, the city got its pay just as soon as it applied for it. Now when proper ty is redeemed the city is obliged to wait a year before it gets its money." MUST CATCH HIM FIHST. Former Governor of Crete Is Con demned to Death. Paris, Aug-,29. M. Georges Dorys, son of the late prince of Samos, a former minister of the Sultan of Turkey and formerly governor of Crete, has been condemned to death by the sultan courts at the direction of Abdul Hamid II. This action was taken in Constanti nople because of the publication of M. Dorys' book, "The private life of the sultan." The book so angered Turkey's ruler that he exerted his influence in diplo matic channels to have it suppressed in all European countries. His efforts suc ceeded In Sweden, but the popular out cry against such action In Paris was so strong that the government declined to exert itself. M. Dorys secretly left Constantinople sometime ago and is now resident in Paris, where he has identified himself with the young Turk's party. KEAL ESTATE TRANSFERS. Laura E. Page to W O.

To the Editor of the State Jeurnal: As a negro I could of course but read with interest an editorial in a local paper today, "WThat of the Negro?" As for my own self, an American citizen, a world citizen, a human being, a black man, I have always told white, red, black men and women that the white man's viewpoint, his cogitations, his reveries, his recommendations, etc., respecting "the negro problem" is his own private matter. I believe (it may be only a fancy) that I, as a negTO, have nothing on this earth, above or beneath, nor in the waters, nor in heaven, to do with the white man in the working out of this "problem," be it his, the negro's, or American. Under stand, now, I mean from a white man's viewpoint. It's "the white man's bur den." I am a po' niff.; ain't got no rights. The white man is "monarch of all he surveys," a ruler over all. blessed for ever over elephants, snakes and (some) nigs, et al., as our "Afro-American" editors would say. The white man can take care of himself! Think of hundreds, thousands of white civilized American citizens go ing after one nigger, and hauling up "any ole niggar" they may catch, and who, while being barbecued, tells them to "meet him in heaven!" By ways dark, devious, unfair, un just, for their own selfish aggrandize ment, certain big white men, church and other good fellows, cajole, flatter fellowship with "low down nigger leaders" for "politics," and brutally ignore, betray, bully, browbeat, ride rough shod over the rights and justice of those negroes that the editorial in question so pleadingly call upon to do something, while those who were and are "doing something" are never upheld. So again, it's "up to" the white men. Bribing "colored leaders," though known to be bad, either with promise of a deputyship or some other Jim-crow ship, they make inoperative and non effective the strenuous and unselfish endeavors, labors, toils, worries and efforts of the really true benefactors of the race. The admonitions in this editorial are benevolent, but from this negro's standpoint it's "up to the white man"; a truly good sermon fallen on rocky ground; and although one nigger does surelv not make a race, "there are others."

St. Louis, Aug. 29. Returning passen gers say there was more than eighty travelers on board the City of Clifton when she struck a hidden snag in mid stream and went down. No lives were lost and no one was Injured. The acci dent, however, threw the passengers in to panic and several women fainted.

Within three minutes of the time of striking the obstruction, the City of Clifton was resting on the bottom of the river In eight or nine feet of water. Captain R. W. McCoy, master of the boat, ordered all the passengers to the upper deck as soon as she struck, the lower deck being covered with water.

Louis Rasaieur of the City hospital, St. Louis, who was among the passen gers, said: "The current at that point is strong, and if the water had been twice a deep there is no doubt that some lives would have been lost. "There were many women and children aboard After the boat sank we were as sured by Captain McCoy that we were in no danger, br. Hill and I had our hands ful reviving the frightened women. Sev eral of them went into hyyterics. A young woman from Quincy named Stein leaped on the railing- and was about to Jump over board when a negro dock nana caught her." PLAYING AT WAR.

One Was Enacted on Kansas Ayeuue Wednesday Evening:. Officer Walker Covered With Sam Frank's Six Shooter. HOLDER BACKED OFF. He Afterwards Surrendered to the Police. Events of a Day With Topeka Peace Guardians. 4 I ARSH words followed and g I backed up by a heavy six 8 I shooter was the allot- JrJ ment of Officer Walker of S the police force Wednes day evening- about four o'clock. Walker was listening- to the conversation of a woman near the cor ner of Sixth and Kansas avenues, when a man who revels in the probably fic ticious name of Sam Franks, stepped up and added a few very impolite words to the conversation. Officer Walker im mediately called his attention to the fact that his language had an unpleas ant odor. He also requested ilr. Franks to desist. This piece of fatherly advice seemed to excite the "bad" man, who suddenly unlimbered a large wick ed lookinir gun of the frontier type, and pointed the business end toward the po liceman. This argument was too much for Walker. He was once a deputy mar shal in the bad lands, and has the rep utation of being- able to fight when nec essary, but his frontier experience also taught him never to take a cocked six shooter away from another man, at least when the poisonous end thereof is looking his way. He was therefore compelled to stand and look on while Mr. Franks backed down Sixth ave nue toward Jackson, daring the officer to follow. He did not follow until the gambler was out of sight around the corner. It is very possible that AValker would have started things when the bad man moved off. if he had been properly armed, but sad to relate Mr. Walker's only shooting iron was a very smail derringer. It is safe to say that Mr. Walker will wear a decent sized gun in the future. In 20 minutes from the time of the bold hold up the entire force had been notified to look out for Franks. Walker, Bernard, Long and Blank were searching for him in a body about an hour later, when he came out of a house on East Eighth avenue and gave himself up. Instead of turning him over to the county for assault with intent to kill, aa was first suggested, Franks will stand trial in police court Friday morning for disorderly conduct and carrying concealed weapons. He had plenty of money and put up a $50 cash bond. His attorney, Otis Hun gate, says he was having trouble with his wife, and that in connection with a bad case of. drunk was responsible for the affair. Late yesterday afternoon Mrs. Joseph Fox, who figured in the disturbance be tween her husband, Joseph Fox, a po liceman and a hackman in Kansas City Tuesday evening, in which the latter was seriously shot in the leg by the policeman, called at the police station; and made a statement to Chief Stahl for Chief Hayes of Kansas City, in which she said that the hackman was not guilty of robbing her husband as she had personally requested him to re move the money from her husband's pockets, because he was drunk and wasting the cash which rightfully be longed to her. She also stated that the "diamond" which her husband com plained about losing in the deal, was one he had purchased in this city for $1.50, and that she knew nothing of its whereabouts. Considerable excitement has grown out of the Kansas City oc currence and the policeman, J. M. lownie, who shot Hackman Iucas is liable to be involved in serious trouble. Mrs. Fox had made a vain attempt to get her husband sober enough to bring him home, and failing in this, relieved him of cash and came home alone. N B. Warren, the old soldier who was arrested for "selling and maintain ing" a few days ago, was found guilty on three counts this morning in police court, and fined $300 and 90 days in jail. The testimony showed that Mr. Warren was in the habit of going- out to a neighboring joint and getting beer for his son's house customers, but that he neglected to take the customers' money before going after the stuff, and allow ed them to pay for their lunch and the beer Jointly. It was easy to convict the old man, who admitted the facts of the case, but, he put up the required $600 appeal bond, and the next court may have different views on the subject, and decide that Mr. Warren had no inten tions of running a joint. George Smith, the owner of the valu able dog under consideration yesterday, was this morning assessed $3 and cost, aggregating $3.50. He was also re quested to keep his dog out of his neighbor's fowl ranch. The sheriff of Jackson county called at the city jail at an early hour this morning, and left William Miller a prisoner while he went to breakfast. He is taking Miller back to Holton from Manhattan. .Tnde-e Lindsay, of the police court, is rapidly forming the Ananias club hab it, and is frequently seen hob-nobbing with the denizens of that mysterious order, regardless of the fact that Chief Stahl at one time watched the place for two nights, thinking it was a joint of the worst type, and that a warrant was applied for to Dave Oregg, who was then assistant prosecuting attorney. The latest departure of the police de partment is the free matrimonial bu reau started for the benefit of the vic tims of a last week's raid on a colored disorderly house. The second pair of these unfortunates were united in wed lock Wednesday and allowed to go their way rejoicing. It is probabla that I I I Hl is the best and most economical HEATER, manufactured.

BiilNG NEW YORK TO TIME. State Bank Associations Consider Charge For Collection of Checks. New York, Aug:. 29. A general con vention of delegates from all the states banks associations in the country to take action against the New York clearing house banks practice of charg ing for the collection of out of town checks is suggested by the executive committee of the Connecticut Bankers' association which has issued a circular letter to that effect. The letter pro poses a system of stat or district clearing houses in which each district or state should appoint a point to which all collections on banks in that district should be sent, and to which all banks in that district should immed iately pay in par funds their own checks when presented by the clearing house bank or institution at that cen tral point. The appointment of certain designated cities to be recognized as deposit and clearing house banks, and recognized as such by the banks of the country is another suggestion made in the circular for consideration at this convention.

Cigar Makers Issue Statement About Strikes. New York, Aug. 29. The Interna tional Union of Cigar Makers has is sued a circular urging upon its mem bers the advisability of careful Investi gation of conditions before going into strikes. Among other things the cir cular says: "Before unions go into a strike the employers' strength and resources should always be known and never un derestimated, while the union strength should never be overestimated. Our cause should also be in a position to enforce our demands. "Foolish people engage in a fight first and make mutual explanations after ward, and then wonder wrhy they fought. A good plan is first to know your own as well as your employers' strength; arbitrate first, and fight afterward if necessary." Minnie He&ly Is Closed Down. Butte, Mont., Aug. 29.

Called Upon to Do Much Con nection Work. Over 400 Places Connected With Sewers in Three Months. NEW PLACE CREATED. Topeka Now Has an Inspector of Excavations. Duties Also Include Checking Up Defective Work. These are joyful times for the plumber of Topeka, Never In the history of the city have the plumbers been called upon to do so much "connection" work. Plumb ers are working overtime, are employing additional men and doubling1 up their or ders for material. They can't keep pace with the demands being made for "con nections" between dwelling houses and the city sewers or water mains. This little summary of the excavation permits issued by the city engineer for corresponding months shows how the ad ditional worli is coming in: August 79 "175 July HH 153 Total 247 43 Incomplete. The plumbers owe a good deal of their prosperity to the board of health, whi h has derided that the people of Topeka have been neglecting to make the neces sary sewer connections between their houses and the city sewers. The Topeka Water company has also done considerable for the plumbers by ex tending its water mains to Washburn college and on Morris avenue,. People hire the plumbers to make all these nec es!ry connections. The work of connecting dwelling houses with sewers has been far beyond all pre vious records for a similar time. So far during August lln sewer connections have been made and this number is certain to be 125 or 130 before the end of the month. So extraordinary has been the demand for "connections" that the council author ized the city engineer to appoint a man for the express purpose of seeing to it that connections are properly made and the street left in good condition. Pity En gineer McCabe appointed George Matting ly for this business, and It keeps Mr. Mat tinly busy to attend to ail the work which falis in his line. Before a plumber can do any excavat ing at all in the streets of Topeka he must give a $2,000 bond, signed by some guarantee company, that he will "hold the city harmless" from damage due to his excavating. Having gotten the bond, he must secure a special permit every time he gets a job of connecting. This permit is issued from the city engineer's office. It states the place where the ex cavating is to be done, what it is for and when it will be commenced. With the excavating permits as a basis, the excavation inspector, Mr. Mattingly, does his work. He goes to the place where the excavation is being made when notice is sent to him that the connection is ready for inspection. He requires that lie be allowed to inspect the connection before the ditch is tilled. He eees to it that a junction is ma,de with the sewer and not a hole smashed in the sewer and the connection made by inserting the connecting pipe and plastering up the hole. He watches to see that the dirt is put back properly and that, if the pave ment is disturbed, it i properly repaired. Incidentally. Mr. Mattingiy looks out for old hols in the pavement where excava tions have been ma.de in the past. Whn he titid-s such a hole he ascertains the name of the plumber who did the work and notifies him to repair the defect. This month Mr. Mattingiy has found 12.'t holR, and has serve! notice on plumbers whir-h if obeyed, will result in every hole being repaired. "1 don't have much trouble In getting everything done as T require' said Mr. Mattingiy today. "The plumbers are gen erally di.potd to do their work right, and make good any defects which are found to exist in what they have done in the past."

A 1 mi THOSE GAS RATES Comparison Which Proves To peka Pays Too Much. Mayor Hughes has completed a tab ulated statement of gas rate reports received from various towns. This re port will be submitted to City Attor ney Spencer, and used by him in the trial of the suit with the Kxcelsior Coke and Gas company to test the validity of the dollar gas ordinance recently passed by the city of Topeka. This will take place in Wichita on September 16, before Judge W. C. Hook. Peorhv 111., which reports a gas rate of $1, is involved in a fight with- the g-as company exactly as Topeka is. Peoria is trying to compel the gas com pany to cut the rate to 75 cents. The price of gas for, light or fuel in Terre Haute is SI. Hesi.ies, the com pany gives the following discounts from that price: From 800 to 1,500 feet per month, 10 per cent; 1.500 to 3,000 feet per month, 15 per cent; 3.000 to 5,000 feet iier month, 20 per cent; 5,000 or more feet r.er month. 25 per cent. Many of the towns to which inquiries were sent have failed to report. It ia likely that some reports will still be re ceived. The tabulated statement made by Mayor Hughes gives the price charged by the gas company for coke and tar, the estimated number of cubic feet of gas manufactures, fine number of consumers, the number of cubic feet produced by one pound of coal, the price of coal at the mines, besides the statistics which are printed in the fol lowing table: -3 r- n o s- a KAltK. 5 s o ?i o a z.' iJ5 w Topeka 36.7S2 $1.65 $1.50 $3.00 Illinois Springfield 34.159 1.00 l.0 3.50 Peoria 61.

In this case a cer tain bank owned stock In and received dividends from several other banks. These banks had paid the tax on the dividends declared by them, and th; question involved is whether the orig inal bank should be required to pay a tax on that part of its income which it received in dividends from the other banks.

(Continued from First Page.l eration and are preparing to open more mills. With this end in view and be cause of ample police protection the American Tin Plate company is said to have made its Star plant In this city a school of instruction. Skilled men are in charge who are instructing other men in the mysteries of tin plate mak ing. When the novices show a suffi cient degree of proficiency they are to be sent to other plants. Managers o various plants of the company will be there every day placing and teaching the new men. The management of the works say that 250 men axe at work there now, but this is denied by the Amalgamated officials. They also claim that the plant is so small that it would take many years to turn out enough men to work the other plants. President Shaffer officially denied several stories printed in the papers today. He said there was no truth in the report that the Amalgamated asso ciation was making efforts to effect a settlement of the strike by trying to force the United States Steel corpora tion into arbitration through the courts and that John K Byrne, a small stock holder and former labor leader had been requested to join in a petition ask ing for the appointment of a board. This state nent was also denied by Mr. Byrne in a dispatch to the Associated Press this morning. The report that the Amalgamated lodges were voting on a peace proposi tion was also denied by Mr. Shaffer, who said: "There has been no vote of any kind taken by us. The lodges may have taken votes on their own account, but none has been ordered since the strike started, and no vote has been taken by the executive board." Speaking of the reported meeting at Milwaukee called for next Sunday night, he said: '"I know nothing of the proposed meeting. The Ray City men can meet whenever they want to. "The situation," continued Mr. Shaf fer, "is unchanged." INSULTED BY RUFFIANS State House Lawn Benches PrOYing to Be Nuisances.

The executive council proposes to ap prehend the next malefactor and make an- example of him. There are three of the new park benches at the oval in the southwest walk. This walk is used more than any other across the grounds. It is charged that loafers congregate at this spot particularly, using boisterous and vile language and otherwise making nuisances of themselves. 'When the executive council meets next Tuesday." Mr. Godard told a State Journal reporter, "we propose to take action to abate this nuisance the first thing. "There are a great many girls and w-omen that use that path to the Santa Fe offices and the stores down town. We do not propose that loafers shall congregate on the state house grounds with their vile language and boisterous conduct to insult the women that must vse the paths to go to and from their w-ork or their shopping. "The executive council will make an exa-nple of the first offender. "The Federated clubs placed those benches there for the enjoyment of the public. They are not intended for ha bitual loafers, and w hen they are ued must be used rightly. The executive council does not wish to see the ladies' experiment fail, and prompt action will be taken to see that it does not." BUKTON'S BIO JOB. Rumor That He Has Given Up His $5,000 Attorneyship. There is a report, current around Baxter Springs where Burton spoke Tuesday that he has resigned the posi tion of attorney for the Chickasaw In dian tribe, a $5,000 a year job that he ha held for two years by appointment of Governor Johnson, of the Chicka saws. Senator Burton's friends here do not know of his giving up the position and nothing was said by him to friends who met him in Kansas City last night as he was on the way to Chicago. The re port is discredited here entirely. Dave Mulvane and others who went down from here to Kansas City Tues day night to meet Burton were disap pointed. He dfS not show up until last night and some of the conferees went home again, or came back to Topeka, after watching the trains all Wednes day morning, before he put in his ap pearance.

San Francisco, Cai, Aug. 29. Con gressman Hull, of Iowa, chairman of the house committee on military affairs who has arrived here from a five months' tour of China, Japan and the Philippines, is deeply impressed with the possibilities of the new American possessions in the Orient. He says: "If I was a young man I don't know where I would rather go than to the Philippines. For a man of brains and industry the islands open a vast pros pect in most every line of business for one who has the grit to go there and stick to it. "The mineral, agricultural and tim ber resources of these islands consti tute a field for commercial enterprise that is practically unlimited. Of course the present conditions of brigandage make it exceedingly unsafe for people to settle in the islands away from the protection of the military posts. But the people, or the great majority, de sire peace and safety and are doing all they can to help the troops attain this end. "Of course it Is impossible to make Anglo-Saxon out of an Oriental, there fore the Filipino will probably never be an American citizen in the broad sense that is understood by all that term conveys to the man born in the XJ. S. of white parents. But as soon as he gets a sufficient education and becomes a little more impregnated with our ideas and loses some of the ideas ac quired by a 300 years association with the Spaniard, the Filipino will be a cit izen in spirit, patriotism, industry and education and will be worthy of partic ipating to the fullest sxten tin ail the benefits of this government. "Of course, we will have to govern them with firmness as well as 'with kindness. I think that 40,000 troops is about the right number to keep there for some years to come." WINDS UP ITS BUSINESS.

Mrs. Nation Called on the Pugilist in New York. New York, Aug. 29. Mrs. Carrie Na tion arrived in this city yesterday. She had an interview with Police Commis sioner Murphy, during which he told her that she would be arrested if she violated the law in this city. Mrs. Na tion also called at John L. Sullivan's saloon to see the ex-pugulist in refer ence to a statement he was alleged to have made, to the effect that he would "throw her in the sewer." Sullivan sent down word that he was ill, but made an appointment to meet her next Monday. She then went to see Archbishop Cor rigan, but lie was out of town. When Mrs. Nation entered police headquarters she was shown at once to Commissioner Murphy's room. In open ing her interview with the commission er she said she had called on him for an account of his stewardship and ask ed if he did not think New York was an awful wicked place. The commis sioner replied in the negative, and Mrs. Nation repeated the question as an as sertion, whereupon Mr. Murphy re quested her to stop, saying he would not discuss the matter with her. Sha continued, however, to ply the com missioner with questions concerning certain places, all of which he refused to answer. Mrs. Nation said she had come here to do the city some good. "You don't know what you are talk ing about," said Commissioner Murphy. "Go back to Kansas and stay there. If you want to do something why don't you do it for your husband?" "I have no husband now," said Mrs. Nation. "I suppose you knew all about that matter." "Oh, yes, "said Commissioner Murphy, "I congratulate Mr. Nation. He ought to be a happy man now." "Why don't you want to discuss Sun day saloons?" asked Mrs. Nation, and the commissioner replied angrily: "Because I don't want to. I won't sit here and be lectured." "What, do you mean to say that you won't discuss good morals in New York? Don't you want to talje about the closing up of these hell holes and murder shops do you think l am crazy?" "Yes, I do," replied Commissioner Murphy. Mrs. Psation then addressed Mr. Murphy as "father," which term the commissioner warmly resented. But the Kansas reform er nereisted. "Father, don't you think a little 'hatohetation' would be good for New York?" she asked. "If you violate the laws I will have you locked up," replied Commissioner Mur ph;.'. Commissioner Murphy finally termin ated the interview by beckoning to his secretary, who escorted Mrs. Nation from the room. Before leaving town Mrs. Na tion said she would return Sunday and visit the "tenderloin" and "see everything that was open." DENIED A CHARTER. Kansas City Company Barred by the Kansas Board. A brilliant charter application was turned down by the state charter board late Wednesday afternoon. It was the Edgar Car Lock and Seal company, a concern organized at Kansas City, Kas., which asked articles of incorpo ration. The company mathematician figured out that $1 was one-tenth of 1 per cent, on $10,000 capital, so that the fee sent in was just $9 short.

The incorporators of the company are George B. Edgar, Lawrence; Albert C. Van Nest, Chicago: Stella Van Nest, Kansas City; John M. Van Nest, Kan sas City; Luther D. Cooper, Kansas City. The charter board in refusing to issue the articles of incorporation ad vised the company to make its applica tion more definite and confine its pur poses to those indicated by its title. The following is the statement of the company's purposes: "To manufacture, purchase, or other wise acquire goods, wares. merchan dise and personal property of every class and description and to hold 'own' mortgage, sell or otherwise dispose of. trade, deal in and deal with the same. "To acquire and undertake the good well, property, rights, franchises and assets of every kind and the liabilities of any person, firm, assocation or cor poration or otherwise.

Correspondent Christie Grain and Stock Co., Kansas City, Mo. New York. Aug. 29. For the week end ing last Monday night the market acted under strong impulses together. All day Tuesday there was a decided impulse to go down. Wednesday there was nothing but a tendency to drift. No one stock fluctuated because others did. Hence business fell off over one-third. Tt shows that both professional anil outside in terests are quickly awakened when there is opportunity for dealing on either side of the market, but when the market seems quiet the traders who are present every day can be in complete control. Very few of yesterday's fluctuations have any significance on the general fu ture of prices. A 2 per cent decline in the American Smelting and Refining is a matter affecting that company alone. Similarly, an advance in some of the ex press slocks influences no others. There was during the day no one conspicuous topic, of conversation. The money market came in lor a.s much discussion as anything, not because there were any developments, but because on the day before the last triple holiday there was a harp unnatu ral advance. It is not usual to bid up rail rates on Kridav. especially if a holiday follows. The reason to make a little mor. money on four days' loan is obvious. The little "apprehension felt that rates may be moderately hihi r on Friday is undoubt edly keeping some buyers out of the market. The ban': stater.i"nt will nut come to a speculative consideration until next Tuesday morning and there is plentv which mav hapnen in the meantime. It is generally expected that the statPment will show a heavy loss in ensn. It there Is to be anv surprise in tne statement it must come in the form of a loss sma'ler than anticinated. It is a question how much of the ten million balance nom inally due to Philadelphia never actually left this city. It is equally problematical how much currency has been actually shipped west. New York Stocks. New York. Aug. 29. Wall Street. The grangers. Pacific, south westerns, coalers and Cnited Slates Steel stocks all showed good fractional ains m the opening deal ings. There were a few losses shown by inconspicuous stacks. Business was of moderate dimensions. Hut little inquiry developed In the first hour for western and Pacific stoc ka unl they gradually lost their opening- gaij-.r. Smelting suffered from a resumptioT of yesterday's selling an! lost 2;4 point a. The southwestern railrof.d stocks present ed a fine front. St. Louis Ac San Francisco common rising 2;ta points and the sonl preferred and St. LouW iSmi r v ern preferred a point each. There wa.s soma improvement in the general tone by 11 o'clock, but business cuiiunui'i .-iu,y.;i. There was hardly a perceptible move ment in the leading stocks and specula tion was very nearly at a standstill at 2 s Tlp3. Furnished by A. G. Goodwin. Commis sion Merchant. 601 Kansas ave. New York. Aug. 29. The market will bn entirely professional today and we look for some improvement in the granger and southwestern shares on the an nouncement to advance freight rates in October. The Gould stocks will have good support and Wabash and Texas Pacllio should move up. The anthracit share are a purchase. The buying in Southern Pacific has been by strong interests and it Is being accumulated in anticipation of developments that will make it sell at 75. We continue bullish oil L. N and Southern Railway and advise hoMln?; both for good profits. Hear pressure on Amalgamated Smelters will be renewed and we look for it to sell below 5n. Tha Steel stocks will hold pending a final set tlement of the strike. Traders will bn disposed to take prolits on any advance, fearing an advance in the money rat tomorrow, when all loans will be made to carry over until Tuesday.

Why City Council Took More Than It Wanted on City Building. "The city carries too much insurance on tr.e city building-." said City Treas urer .M. M. Hale today. And it does. Considering- the fact that the lire department is located in the building; that the building- ia construct ed on modern iines, with iron doors be tween the city hall and Auditorium extremely high tire Avails, a tin roof and other modern improvements for re sisting t-.re. SMi.uijO insurance is too much for the city to carry. That is the amount of insurance which the city wiil have to hold for live years, however, at a cost of S2,lt"i). The reason that the city hall is in sured for such a large amount is be cause it is claimed the city was "he up by tire insurance agents. A com mitter of the council decided to insure the building for $40,000, and apportioned this sum among: some of the insurance men of the city. Other insurance men who were left out of the distribution. made a great roar about "unjust tii crimination," and the only way for the city to square itself with the outsiders was to take $10,0(1') more insurance. The insurance has now been running for about one year. .HOKE STRIKES OK I) EKED. Will Bo 6,500 Shirt Waist Makers Out This Week. Kew York, Acer. 29.

Those on Ojiincy Street Demand His Attention. THEY PAY m LICENSE. Thinks If Stands Use Privileges They Should Fay. Orders Are Issued to Street Commissioner Snyder. War has been declared on the Quincy street "Delmonicoes" which are located in the parks on the west side of the street between Seventh and Sixth. For years tha city has allowed from two to four shanties to exist on this block. They have been owned and op erated by negroes, arid have dispensed Pies, watermelons, fried thicken, soup, and almost everything needed to sus tain the weary passerby. Even ti.e smell which these eating places flung forth to the breeze was enough to carry a man along for a block or so. Tb.e only excuse which was offered for allowing these obnoxious enter prises to continue was that if tney should be suppressed the proprietors would have to be supported by the city. It now develops that the owners of these establishments have been toler ated by the people in front of whose places they exist because they have been paying "rent" to the man whose property they attach themselves to. "What do you pay for the privilege of staying here?" was asked of one of the shacks which is located in front of the farmers' feeding yard. "Sixty cents a week." was the reply. "How much does the other fellow have to pay?" "Seventy-rive, I think." "Who do you pay your money to?" "To the otvnei of the feed yard." The owner of the feed yard was ques tioned and admitted the truth of the statement. Of course no one has a right to rent his park to acybody. The park is the property of itp city. The city is sup posed to keep the park free from ob structions. But the Quincy street prop erty holders have not failed to improve the opportunity to collect a small divi dend from tlie eating places which tiiey tolerate. No license fee has ever been collected from these places by the city, so far as shown by the records. .Mayor Hughes has wiitten a letter to Street Commissioner Snyder instruct ing him to compel these places to move. The letter, is as follows: "There is a vacant lunch stand in the street at First and Jackson streets owned by Mr. Rivers at 11S Kansas ave nue. Please have it moved out of our streets and alleys at once. "On the east, side of" Quincy, between Sixth and Seventh streets, are two per manent structures used as lunch stands, but which occupy our parkings. These institutions are an eyesore to everyone passing. I have notified verbally the last two that they must vacate our parkings, and I wish you would see to it that they are moved inside of ten days. Please serve notice on any other refreshment stands that occupy our streets, alleys or parkings, and see that they vacate." Mayor Hughes said today: "There are some popcorn stands on wheels which locate temporarily on the street corners. I think that they pay no license. But I wiil not interfere with these places. If the council wants to do anything about them, all right. In regard to the stand on the southwest corner of Sixth and Kansas avenue, built against the side of the building. 1 suppose that has a right to remain. A merchant can use a small portion of the sidewalk to dis play his goods on. I don't know whether he has any right to lease this same space. That involves some points of law which I don't understand. "In regard to the plea which is made for these Quincy street eating places, that the proprietors would have to be supported by the city if stopped from MINNIE IIEALY MINING CASE APPEALED. Sensational Affidavits Filed in Which it is Alleged That Judge Harney, of Butte, Was Improperly Influenced. Judge Ed. W. Harney. Yf

F. Aug. Heinz. Sensational affidavits filed in the Silver Bow District Court, in the Minnie Healy case, in which it ia alleged that Judge Harney, of Butte, was improperly influenced in rendering a decision favorable to the Heinz interests, have reached the Supreme Court through official channels. F. Aug. Heinz, the Copper King, who successfully vanquished the Montana Copper Trust in the famous legal fight over the ($10,000,000 Healy mine, vehemently denies the charge that he obtained an influence over the presiding judge through the medium of Mrs. Ada H. Braekett. The young copper king threatens to bring slander suit against his traducer3. Above are the principals in the sensational story, Judge Harney, the justice suspected of being unduly influenced; Mrs. Braekett, his alleged temptress, and Heinz, who obtained the decision, over the big trust. running tbeir etine' stnnrlq T -ra-itt asiv that one of the owners of these Quincy street places seems to be a strong and healthy man. Old Mr. Owens, who runs the other place, is an old soldier, gets a pension, and also receives material assistance from the county poor fund. I think no injustice would be done by making these places close up. As they are run now, they are a nuisance." NORTIITOPEKA. (Leave items for thl column with Kim bail Son. i(L2 Kansas avenue.

MADE BOGUS $5 COINS. An Old Offender Again in Trouble in Oregon. Baker City. Ore.. Aug. 29. The most i.nportant haul of counterfeiting appa ratus ever made in eastern Oregon was the capture on Snake river by Deputy United States Marshal A. A. Roberts, of Portland, and a special agent of the secret service of the treasury depart ment of a complete outfit for making counterfeit money. E. R. Coon was captured while in the act of repairing his tools. An accomp lice, a young man named Bud Butts, was also taken. Coon is a jeweler by trade, and a fine machinist. His dies, milling and reeding machines are per fect, and it is said the $5 gold coins he turned out would pass anywhere. Coon has served two years in the peni tentiary for passing counterfeit money in Wasco county, Oregon. He has made a confession. VETERAN HACK MAN" BACK. John McBee Got Enough of Okla homa. John McBee. hack, harness, horses and ail have returned from El Reno, elaim less. and with a hatred for everything j Oklahomainan. i It was announced that John McBee i drew a claim. He didn't. That annoance j merit was just tote of the many mistakes made in the notifications. It was a man named McAfee that got the 160 acres of j red dirt from Cnule Sam. McBee got noth ing but experience, and plenty of that. McBee and his team, a roan and a white, have bten familiar figures on the streets I of Topeka for a third of it century al j most. John McBee and his hack have i taken couples in stormy weather to j dances and the theater and then be in at i the close of the courting campaign by j taking the same couples to the train to sra.it on their bridal tour. And that is tneir uncial tour. Ana tnat j not all. McBee has driven those couples- children to dances and the theater only to marry them off in the same way and tcke them to the train for their bridal tour. He is now ready to take the third generation through the same course of instruction and muddy streets. But not withstanding the fact that he knew ev erybody and everybody knew him, McBee got sort of disgusted. He had gone through the boom when peope. paid out $20 bills for cab hire where they now expend $2.50. and he thought it was time for him to seels a new location. So, one day McBee bought a brand new blue suit of striped overalls', loaded his hack, harness and horses onto a freight car and went to El Reno. That was three weeks ago. He had a jjood deai to say about Topeka and tire ruinitig of the back business in bicycles, street cars and auto mobiles. He was in Kl Reno 3ong enough to come to the conclusion that Topeka i was a pretty good little village arter ait, i so one day without notifying the federal I authorities he again bundled his team onto a freight car and came "back to J Grigsby's station where he was so happy and so poor." He unloaded the outfit at i the station, drove up town to his old i stand in front of the National and waited for a fare, just as if he never had been away. "What's the matter; why did you come back?" he was asked a score of times. I "Because i wouldn't live among thope thieving bushrangers in that forsaken country for all the farms they have." said McBee. "Just tell the people that Topeka is good enough for me."

TOPEKA STATE JOURNAL., THURSDAY EVENING. AUGUST 29, 1901. o CUT5,000pLOflS Third Annual Watermellon Car niTal at Cljdo Brings Thousands of Teopl to the City. Clyde, 'Aug-. 29. Three years ago Geo. Gregg, who had rather cut a good pirloin steak than do most anything else, suggested that Clyde have a watermelon carnival, lie had been reading all about how the people of Kooky Ford raised their melons, and how they annually treated their friends and neighbors, and as Clyde is the vatermelon center of Kansas, he pro posed the melon raisers of the Repub lican valley tributary to Clyde do the fair thing- with the people of the town and surrounding country and do the Fame thing- No sooner said than done, end her first free watermelon carnival was given, the crowd being- large, and the festival or carnival was a complete success. The second carnival, that If last year, was a larger success than the first, and oth?r attractions were given. The visitors were treated royally on their first visit, the same crowd re turned the second year, bringing with them more strange faces, and while they ail appeared to enjoy themselves ttiev all returned this year, not only bringing their children but neighbors find friends from Nebraska. The third annual watermelon carnival piven bv the business men of Clyde will go into history as the largest and most su-essful of all of then. The j. resident of the association this year is Ooo. I- (Jreeg: W. R. Crump, secre tly, and W. S. Cannon. treasurer. Tivo arches are suspended over the main stret. reading 'Clyde's third an nual carnival." "While the window dis plays were not as elaborate as on former occasions with one accord her business men subscribed liberally to defray the expenses. S. H. Knapp, of the advertising committee, spared no time or expense to attract the people to Clyde, and they came by train load and wagon load. Over o.OOO free melons were given away at the City pn-rk, and it is De lieved more than 10.0(A) people ate of the free melons donated by the people of Clyde. The melons were in a pile about rive feet high and 200 feet lone A long table had been erected for the carnival, and knives were furnished to cat the melons. Rocky Ford never presented a livelier scene than the thousands who attacked the Clyde melons. Clyde is an enterprising town of 1.500 people. It is situated in the Republi can river valley, the most prolirio wa termelon growing region of Kansas. Soon as the Missouri Pacific completes and extends the Central Kranch to Denver it expects to be made a rail road division. J. D. Beachtel, one of her most enterprising business men. and an old railroad engineer, sanguine of the final outcome of Clyde as a division railroad point, and in consequence has invested several thousand dollars in bis business and other real estate in the city. A notable event in her -watermelon carnival this year was the Sower pa raii, which would have been a credit to Topeka or Kansas City. The splend idly decorated carriages appeared in the procession as follows: The Clyde band leading, followed by the queen, iliss Georgia Cyrier and maid1? of hon or, the Misses Roach, Peters, Morris and Patterson. The next carriage was driven by Mrs. Fannie Iake and was decorated with red popppies. The fourth carriage was driven by Miss Phoebe Coupel, and was trimmed with red roses and asparagus. Mrs. F.ftie Peck drove the next car riage. It was trimmed with white chrysanthemums, and wa.s cheered from start to finish in the parade. Mrs. Lizzie Crump drove carriage No. 6, which was trimmed with red and white roses. Mrs. Emma Baker, with her carriage trimmed with water lilies, and Mrs. Nellie Joines. trimmed in purple and white, followed. The Misses Langtin and Cannon fol lowed, their carriage being decorated with white carnations. The Misses Parl Wickweth and Min-nit- Farnesworth carriage was trimmed with water lilies, and that driven by Mrs. Mattie tiillespie was decorated with pink and white chrysanthemums. Mrs. Pearl Crump drove a decorated carriage trimmed with snowballs, while Miss Ij. Regnier's was trimmed with yellow ami white roses, and that of Mrs. Kmma Stoffy was trimmed with the em blem of Kansas- sunflowers. Mrs. C. W. Vandemark drove a tasty vehicle, decorated with moaning glories. The Misses Bessie Cannon, DoraKnox, 'Alice Hawkins and Carle Carlysle rode richly decorated bicycles. Then followed floats of Good Temp lars, Rebeccas, Odd Fellows, the Min tonvale band. A. O. U. W..t Royal Neighbors, Woodmen, National Aid, court of honor, and goats and Brown ies.

A novel way of opening a package of food is shown on the Grape-Nuts pack age, where a line indicates that a slit should be made with a knife, and the package squeezed, which makes it gap enough to pour out what is needed for a rneal, then the package automatically closes, preserving the contents from the moisture of the air. As a rule, Grape-Nuts packages are rot kept on hand very long in any family, but it is well to know how to keep the contents of the package in prime condition. Grape-Nuts Food is ready coked, very crisp, and can be served immediately with a little good cream r milk. This feature is of great advantage to those who appreciate ease anii convenience in crepjirins brealt taMi, plauded it throughout. Albert T. Reid, of the Topeka Mail and Breeze, the noted cartoonist, is here. To him much is due for his good share in making the carnival a success. He was born in Cloud county, in Con cordia, in 1S73. Henry Schott, telegraph editor of the Kansas City Star, and J. K. House, of the Topeka Capital, are taking in the carnival. Bands are here from Belleville, Mil tonvale. Concordia, Clifton and Clyde. The Topeka Flambeau club is here, and will give the grandest parade to night ever seen in this section of Kan sas. One of the notable missing links in this carnival is Capt. Joe G. Waters, of Topeka. For two years he his ad dressed the Clyde watermelon visitors. Many friends regret his absence on this occasion. Clyde is full of amusements. Midway is full of fakes, including the snake eater. STOPPED A PANIC. Pastor's Influence PrevailsOrer a Frightened Audience. Chicago. Aug. 29. A panic that threat ened to result in the death or serious in jury of a score or more of persons in St. Ansgarius Swedish Kpiscopal church dur ing the funeral of David Bindskog was prevented by the prompt action of Pastor Herman Lindskog. who calmed the con gregation and induced the women and children in the. crush to cease struggling toward the entrance. The church was crowded and hundreds of persons were outside awaiting nn op portunity to view the remains of the pas tor's soil, who was shot by Policeman James P. Wilev Sunday night during a scuffle. Just when the burial service was concluded a. loud report anil crashes, as of splintering beams, sounded in the front of the erlilice. The flooring bent several inches and a number of persons started a rush for the entrance. Here they were met bv Policemen Kohan. Kenney and Pwanvhen, who made ineffectual attempts to quiet the excited crowd. The voice of I'astor I.indskog was heard reassuring the stampeders. and in a few moments ordr was restored. In the crush at the door three women fainted. The collapse of the floor was caused by a wooden -jost in the basement which split and allowed the tioof to sink. SMITHS A HE THERE.

Jenkins, Venerable Council of Garland Camp 2922, Modern Wood men of America, writes from Aurora, 111., Beacon Office, as follows: mm Chas. F. Jenkins. I endorse Peruna because I have found by personal experience that it is not a common patent medicine, but a scientifically prepared medicine which simply cures catarrh and cleanses the blood of its impurities, keeping: the system in a fine, healthy condition. I consider it as rather a carefully pre pared physician's prescription, and have never found any which acts as promptly and permanently as Peruna.
