Engineer Follows on a Hand Car and Finds It 1 Miles Away. Texarkana, Ark., Sept. 4. No. 1 Cot ton Bolt passenger train leaving Tex srkana at 9:23 p. in. in charge of Con ductor Armstrong was held up and rob bed near Eylau, four miles south of Texarkana, last night. The train was flagged by one of the robbers, who forced the fireman to go back and cut off the mail and baggage cars and returning-, forced the engineer to give up the management of his engine. One of the robbers, who it appears, is an ex pert engineer, ran the engine and mail and baggage cars about a mile from the point where the first stop was made and forced the express messenger to open his car. The robbers then blew open the safe with dynamite, securing, it is said, a very large amount of booty. The exact amount is withheld by the railroad company and the express peo ple, but it is known that a very large shipment was made on this train. The robbers after securing the loot, cut off the engine from the mail and express cars, and forcing the engineer to get off. they took the engine, in charge of the robber engineer, and went south at full speed. At 1:30 o'clock this morning the en Sine had not been found. No passengers were molested. They were, however, very badly frightened and hid their valuables. The robbers were evidently in possession of all (acts concerning this particular shipment of money, together with a schedule of the train as their scheme was successful in every respect. Railroad employes here seem to be confident that the robbery was commit ted by railroad men from the manner in which they superintended the whole af fair. The spot selected for the robbery was well adapted for this kind of work as it is very wild and heavily timbered. The conductor and several passengers walk ed back to Texarkana, a distance of four miles. The sheriff and posse have been summoned to go in pursuit of ths robbers. At this hour the passenger train stands in two pieces with the en gine's whereabouts unknown. So far as known no one was injured. There were five men in the gang. ENGINE IS FOUND. St. Louis, .Mo., Sept. 4. From meagre information received in this city at the offices of Vice President and iieneral Manager Brltton of the St. Iouis South western road. Cotton Belt, six instead of rive men held up the passenger train last night near Eylau station. After blowing up the safe in the express car with dynamite, the robbers secured two sacks of loot. This they transferred to the engine, which had been detached Irora the other cars. Engineer Hender son was compelled to put out the head light by the robbers, who put him off and took charge of the engine, saying two of their number knew as much about runnine- as he did. The engine went south at full soeed f-,ii,-..ori k,- Kngineer Henderson on a hand car which he had secured from a nearby switch house. Early this morning he came up with his deserted engine about four miles from the scene of therobbery The robbers, who, the engineer believed from their actions were all railroaders had escaped into the dense woods sur rounding the track at this point. Engi neer Henderson could not give a very accurate description of the men, but said they were all young and wore masks. The engineer ran back, picked up the mail and express cars, and going to the remainder of the train, coupled on and continued south. Neither the passenger nor the mail cars were molested bv the robbers. The train held up left" St I-ouis Monday evening. At 2 a. m. a posse of horsemen under the sheriff of Boyd county left Texar kana to scour the woods on both sides of the track. They were followed pi -30 a. m. by another posse on r- engine"" The bloodhounds kept at ne peniten tiary at Rusk, Tex., for tracking escaped convicts are being hurried to the scene of the robbery on a special train. Everything that can be done to capture the robbers, the r tton Kelt officials say. will be done. K Wheel er, chief of that road's special detective force, with five men, is exn-cted to reach the spot where the rohberv oc curred at 10 a. m. He is on a special engine running from Tvler Tex s soon as he arrives at the scene he will send a report of the robbery to head quarters here. General Superintendent Fuller of the raciric Express company, whose safe on the Cotton Belt train was reported blown open and robbed, stated that he had received no particulars r.f the hold up. All he knew, he said, was that ir. had occurred. He did not believe the loss was heavy, for. he said, not verv irnteh niorfey is ever carried on thnt tram. He declined to state the amount shipped nn that date. When asked what he thought the robbers carried off in the two sacks they were reported to have taKen from the express car. Superin tendent Fuller said thev have contained (diver currency, possiblv n.OOO in each Hanks were closed in St. Louis on Mon day when the train left here and for that reason it is believed by the railwav oftieials that the Sum of money shinned was not heavy. K As soon as possible officials of the Cot ton Belt and Pacific Express company held a conference and decided to offer Jointly a reward of a piece fcr the arrest of the six men implicated in the robbery. In addition to this the express company will pay a bonus of 10 per cent on all stolen money that is Teeovere-i At the office of General Manager H F Brltton, cf the Cotton Belt, it was sta- Senator J. Ralph Burton ted that the capture of the robbers may be effected within the next 24 hours. ON THE TRAIL. Kansas City, Mo., Sept. 4. A special to the Star from Texarkana. Ark., says: The robbers who held up the Cotton Belt train at Eylau last night are be lieved to be in the river bottom, moving toward the Louisiana line. It can not be ascertained from the railroad how much money ther secured from the ex press car, but it is thought to reach into the thousands. AFTER DUDLEY. State House Officials Want More Competent Custodian. Formal Charges Against Dudley Are Filed. Besides wrestling with the bids for the statue Ceres, it is on the programme of the executive council, at its meeting tomorrow, to have Custodian John Dudley on the carpet again. Charges have been mde against the custodian of neglect and incompetency, and un less they are pulled down an investiga tion is to follow that is expected to re sult in his dismissal. Dudley has heard the rumblings for several days and had Dave Mulvane on hand today to pull his chestnuts out of the fire again. This time they threaten to be scorch ed entirely. It is understood that when Dudley was on the anxious bench a month ago, Mulvane succeeded in saving his offi cial scalp by laying down on Attorney General Godard. It was hinted to Mr. Godard that- he wanted the First dis trict behind him for a nomination for the supreme bench. Accordingly the ex ecutive council was divided on the vote Cole, Clark and Stanley for the dis missal and Mr. Godard with the remain ing two as Dudley's saviors. One day this week Mr. Godard per mitted an interview to the effect that he would not touch a supreme court nomination with a ten-foot poie. It is understood that Mr. Godard's vote can now be secured for the fourth and that will end Mr. Dudley's official career. Col. George Veale is selected to be the custodian in Dudley's place. Dudley has great reliance on his friends at court, but of late he has taken on a worried look. He took some now courage when one of his friends made the discovery of the "state house stone iuarry" and offered it in explan ation of the lawn grass dying. But the executive council has not adopted that theory as a whole. They say one can go out and scratch under the blue grass oh any hillside, and even well-maintained lawns and dig up stones. The state house lawn was not irrigated at it should have been through the drought, it is claimed, and the flower beds not tended with competent gardening. Mr. Dudley may have been too busy with his livery stable. Different members of the council fre quently assert that the janitors are "bigger than the .state officers" and that rubbish accumulates around the building when It should not. Just now the state house is a litter of building rubbish, because workmen are at the jobs of finishing, but the complaints antedate the present work. Dudley runs a livery stable and has a mail carrying contract from the post office to the depots, besides, and outside mercantile and political work is taken into consideration of the case. 50 HORSES POISONED. Fatal Dose Said to Have Been Administered by Strikers. San Francisco,' Cal.. Sept. 4. Fifty horses belonging to McNabb Smith, draymen, were poisoned last night. Fully one-half of the animals are dead and the prospects are that many more will die from the effects of the poison, which it is now said was administered by strikers.

WV A WW NW V i VIS STOPPED BAD FIRE. Flames Had Gained Headway in Mattress Faetory. The mattress factory of McEntire Bros, at 305 Xansas avenue suffered $2,000 damage last night by fire shortly after S o'clock. Four men were working in the sec ond floor. A young n.an by the name of Ed Hunter went to the rear of the room. When he reached the vats and barrels containing japaning fluid he gave the cry of fire and almost instant ly following his alarm the entire rear part of the second floor was ablaze. The japaning fiuid, used in finishing springs, was inflammable and when the barrel burned away ran down the ele vator shaft to the first floor. Chief Wilmarth made the run with the chem ical engine, and upon arriving at the fire immediately sent in a general alarm as the tire was in a dangerous locality and had gained great headway. Three streams of water and a line from the chemical engine were brought into use and the fire was confined to the rear of the building where it start ed. There was very littte damage to the first floor by fire. The blaze did not extend to any of the adjoining buildings. Ths- entire rear half of the second floor of the factory was burned away and the rear half of the burned roof fell. The loss to the stock of goods will be about $800. covered y insurance, and the damage to th? building is estimated to be $1,200. alo covered by insurance. The building is owned by Lewis Sells of Columbus O. Soon after the companies bad retur-ed to their quarters from the McEntire fire, an alarm was sent in for a. fire in the old Douthitt cider mill on Topeka avenue near Seventeenth street.

Suicide of Frank Powell Was the Final Chapter. Loved Pretty Sister-in-Law Who Married and Then Eloped. DIED FAR FROM HOME. She Was Brought Back to Friends in Co ill n. Powell's Final Request to "Be Buried Beside Clara" Denied. A pitiful double tragedy has just been finished within twenty miles of this city. The last chapter was writetn in Topeka. It was- ended by the suicide of Frank Powell in Topeka last Sunday, and the story of it reads like a romance. Two lives were given up because of a hope less infatuation. Black-eyed Clara Kelly, a belle of the village of Mayetta, and sister of Powell's wife, was the oth er leading figure in the drama. Of the two Kelly sisters, Powell made the mistake five years ago of marry ing the wrong one. The younger Kelly sister and real ob ject of oPwell's affections, died tragical ly herself. It was when her body was laid to rest in the little burial ground by the school house at aMyetta, two weeks ago last Sunday, that Powell took morphine by the graveside, deter mined that life held no more charms for him. The double tragedy was precipitated by the marriage of Clara Kelly on the 28th of July last in Kansas City. She had been working in Kansas City for a couple of years. Powell made trips to Kansas City regularly up till the time of her marriage. Clara soon tired of the married state, if events are any criterion, and wanted to go to Mayetta on a visit. Mr. Smith, her husband, ob jected for some time, it is said, but finally consented and Clara started for Mayetta., She did not arrive for a week or more, and when she did come it was in the baggage coach ahead. From Kansas City Mrs. Cyara Smith eloped and went to Canada with Oliver Owens, a traveling salesman. She died in Canada of an internal hemorrhage and the body was shipped back to Mayetta from Buffalo. The town of Mayetta was stirred to its profoundest depths when pretty Clara Kelly came home. It was .the saddest home-coming any of its daugh ters had ever experienced. The bride of less than a month, passed away among strangers far from home and friends and in an alien land, sent home cold in death and unattended. There was much mystery about the affair. No wonder people doubted that this casket con tained all that was mortal of Clara Kelly. Little wonder that ceremony was not waited for and that a girl friend tore off the cover of the casket to see. "It's Clara!" she cried, and b: oke down utterly. The husband of the dead woman was there. He forgave and went with the funeral procession to the lit tle church, where all the town took a look into the casket, and the laid the body to rest in the little burying ground. That night Frank Powell, who had loved and lost, not once but twice, took morphine for the first time to end his miserable existence. He had lo;t Clara by his own marriage, by her marriage, and, to complete the robbery to the full, death had stepped In and taken her forever away. That Sunday night he was brought into the town from the Kelly farm, two miles out, a broken and desperate man. At the hotel where he boarded he raved and fought under the influence of the terrible drug he had taken. He raised a chair and stood off half a dozen men with it. He started for the hotel din ing room for the carving knife to kill any 'who tried to stop him. In this he was prevented and then he ran out on the street and up and down it, threat ening death to all who tried to stop him and to himself. He was clad oniy in night garments, having been roused from bed when a physician was called to treat him for the opiate he had taken. From that time on until he finally succeeded in Topeka, nearly two w eks later. Powell had but one aim. That was to get morphine. He could not get the drug in Mayetta. He went to Ho!- ton and tried in vain, for word had been sent ahead of him and the dealers were warned. He closed up his ba b"r shop and moved to Hoyt. but he c uli not get morphine there. His story had not come ahead of him to Topeki, and hither he cane last Friday nig, and his end was told in Monday's pap rs. UGLY STORIES SET AT REST. There were ugly stories afloat whi7e Mayetta has been living through its double tragedy. If some of them jvere true they would add grimly to the tragedy, which is pitiful enough now. 1 One startling rumor was to the effect i that the body of Clara Kelly had come home in a. pine box and that an ex change of coffins was made at May etta. As it was circulated the forgiv ing husband had said: "This coffin is a cheap affair; I'll get a better one." Investigations, as made by a State Journal reporter on the spot, today, ex ploded this pretty fiction. The body came to Mayetta in a handsome black casket, metallic, and well-embalmed. Mr. Ashton, a hardware merchant, has the undertaker's death and shipping certificates furthermore. He took charge of the body when it arrived, for the family cf Clara's parents, Mr. and Mrs. John Kelly. But the most startling report that cir culated over the countryside was that the whole affair was an immense de ception of some kind. Dr. W. i Brock ett heard among his patients the talk that the body in the casket was not that of Clara Kell;,' at all. but a wax figure. And there were citizens who wanted the body exhumed to determine whether the whole town had been deceived or not. They saw the grim, joke on the hus band, who had forgiven, and especially if he had bought a new, coffin. And they wondered if Powell had thrown away his life on such a cruel deception. But the facts as found by the State Journal reporter all indicate that there is no more doubt of the reality of Clara Kelly's death than there is of Powell's. Merchant Ashtion has the death certif icates in due form and says it was sure ly Clara Kelly, her body and no wax figure. A dozen other people ip the town say the same and Dr. Brockett says: "The body of Clara Kelly was in the coffin sure enough. I saw her once or twice when she came up from Kansas City on a visit. One or two of my pat ients out in the country told me they believed it was a wax figure, but I nev er saw a more human corpse." In his farewell note to the world, Pow ell made a last request that, he be laid beside Clara Kelly in the burying ground at Mayetta. Bpt as they were parted in life, so it remains. His body was taken from Topeka and interred yesterday at Raymond, Mo., his boy hood home. BURTON LEAVES. Senator Tells His Friends to Await His Return. Kept Busy Apportioning Places at His Disposal. the Leaving the politicians to amuse themselves as best they might about Copeland county and the state house, today Senator Burton ran down to Kansas City in the early train. Word was left with the boys to all stay around. The senator will be back at 6:40 o'clock this evening. He is billed to speak at Ottawa this afternoon. It was a matter of discussion in the groups that were left behind that not everything- was being carried out as advertised in the small bills. The sen ator was to have been here today, and said he would stay last night, 'but a call came that could not be ignored and Topeka will be given tomorrow instead. It is also apparent that shaping is be ing done for the placing of Burton favorites on the next state ticket at these gatherings. There are leakings enough. It is given out cold to Jim Simpson and to others in the crowd that Simpson is to be revenue collector and that something to satisfy George Findlay will be forthcoming. Senator Burton went to the Blossom House to day, so it is-said, to look over his scrap pile and see what he can find for Geo. Findlay and for State Senator H. B. Miller. Senator Miller's son, Clyde, came up from Osage today looking for nothing for himself. He said he was after a couple of jobs in Washington for Osage men. He may be made a proxy to carry terms to his father to get out of Harry Richter's way, after Burton looks over the goods and finds something to of fer. The movement to clear Richter's path is well defined, and it begins by clear ing up his home district the Fourth. This goes ahead of the preparations to capture the chairmanship of the Repub lican state central committee. For among the announcements made is that S. G. Pottle, of EI Dorado, has consent ed to be content as a field deputy under Jim Simpson, revenue collector. Pottle has had the bee in his bonnet to be aud itor of state all along and he is now the .first fellow made to get down out of the road of the Richter chariot. George W. Jones of Linn county, has the promise of being made either field deputy also, or a pork inspector in Jerusalem. Alfred Pratt of Syracuse was assured that he will succeed A. H. Burtis. of Finney, as special inspector of the in terior department. Otis L. Atherton came in today to be told that the receivership at Wa Keeney is awarded to him in the parcel ling out. Charles Hail. potmistr -at Russell, came along. He wants another term if William Reeder can be induced to see it that way. shoFand burned. One More Negro Pays the Custo mary Penalty. Troy, Ala., Sept. 4. Bill Fourney, alias Bill Hilliard. a negro charged with as saulting Miss Wilson, at Chestnut Grove, was shot and his body burned by a mob near the scene of his crime today. Miss Wilson, who is 16 or 17 years of age. and the 12-year-old daughter of Dr. Carroll, were on their way to school at Chestnut Grove, just across the line in Coffee countv, when they were overtaken bv the negro. He seized Miss Wilson, and the little girl ran off. As she did so the negro fired his pistol at her, but missed. The little girl raised the alarm, and soon a posse was In pursuit of the negro. When they reached the scene of the crime they found Miss Wilson un conscious and "terribly luised in the face and about the head. The- posse tracked the negro to his home, where he was found in bed". The little girl identified him, anl he was then taken out and shot and his body burned. Miss Wiison is in a precarious condition. The sheriff and three deputies left last night for the scene of the crime. SUNK BY REBELS. Further Particulars of the Loss of the Gunboat Lapopa. London. Sept. .4 The brief cable men tion, of the recent sinking of the Colom bian gunboat Lapopa has been supple mented by further particulars regarding the accident, by mail, says the Tribune. General Joaquin Velez. governor of Bol ivar, charges that Lapopa was sunk by rebels, and has causer! the imprison ment of the four survivors, charging them with complicity in the plot. The government has used every en deavor to suppress the details of the wreck. On this account it is not defin itely known how many lives were lost. Lapopa was carrying troops from Car tagena to Barranquilla, and none of them Mas saved. The warship, which went down about 60 miles from the port of Savanilla also carried a cargo of a half million cartridges and 1.000 rifles, the logs of which will be seriously felt by the government. The sinking of Lapopa will also crip ple the naval fighting force, as Colombia recently sold the Cordova which was her largest ship, and is now left with only one gunboat of account. This is thi? General Pinson. formerly the American steam yacht Namotina. One hundred thousand dollars has been sent to Gen. Velez from Bogema with which to pur chase another vessel. 0 High Dignitaries of tho Meth odist Episcopal .Church Assemble in London For tho Ecumenical Council. PRAY FOR M'KINLEY.

IOOTBALL ALTERED. ho Rules Committee Meet ia New York to Make Cnangea. New Ttk. Kppt. 4. This year's changes In toe football rules are printed in de tail for tne hrtt time m the Spalding f-uide for hl, just issued. The changes do not alien the tencral si vie of the am, but a mimorr ot tjo'mts are eluci- ,.t-'i whlcn it would n Weil for ail J i' r- aiid oftleials ot games to know. In section I of rule 4 the definition of a t-- v is e anorMted so as to maKe kick f a. plavsr from behind his goal line, -w hcn aeiitis the ball across tne side line before It reaches the line of the p posts, a safptv. rferetoore such a phv wouM have riven the other nt4 a touchdown. The a! woi;ifi have bereme theirs as soon as jt crossed tne side line, and on bnnginer St m tr.ev- would touch It down behind tneir nrpntifnt st who kicked the ball jeoal line, tens malting a touchdown. The ru;s commit tea thought this not quite fair hi Mi a i ow n aiiu it e 'uispiay count as n Hatty. It is a docidedlr interesting point, and tnough it si i-mi. if ever, came tip in a game, it is well to have it ii ruis whsoa has to do Willi off-side i cke:scex5 oh Hia play, is added a note more cleuriy de fining being ''ahead of the ball," and do ing away with an inconsistency as to what part o the ball should be reckoned upon as the deciding line. Rule 12 is so altered that two minutes is the maxi mum time to be taken out for delay. It was aossible to get around this rule before and taKe tip four minutes. A slight change in the wordms ot the rule regarding '"position of opponents at kick out and kick trom lair catch" is made for further clearness. In rule 14 an omis sion has been supplied m the case ot a kick after touchiue: ball m at side, lines, requiring a kick of at least ten yards. Section A of rule 17. regarding interfer ence and delaying the other side from putting the ball in play, has been changed to prevent pulling about in the rush line. Such tactics now will be regarded as de laying the game, and, therefore, subject to a live-yard penalty. An interesting addition has been made to section K of rc 21, dealing" with downs, so that in ctse of a penalty, the number of the tliiwn shall remain the same, if. otherwise, it should be to the profit of the offending side. Kv.le 22 has been changed to specify that a kick after the ball has been touched in. after going out of bounds, shall be at least ten yards. A requirement has been added to rule 25 that the referee, when a team is about to try for a goal, shall signal with his hand as soon as the ball touches the ground. This has been the general cus tom. Two changes are made in rule 2X, w-hieh deals w-ith penalties. The word ing in the section regarding penalties for interfering with a fair catch has been changed so that the official may now iudga better what to do. The committee has made a further effort to stamp out unsportsmanlike play by imposing a pen alty for unsportsmanlike proceedings of any sort. PEAS, O. VS. CLUB. The Football Team Here Expect a Hard Proposition on the Gridiron. Ottawa, Kan., Sept. 4. A resident of this city, who has been spending the summer at Kirksville, Mo., has recently returned and j-eports that one of th events of the coming sporting season at Kirksville will be the football game with Ottawa university. O. tT. has made arrangements to show the Missourians this fall in the art of handling the pigskin, beginning with the Medics at Kansas City, following with the Kansas City Dentals, and later taking a trip through the state and in cidentally taking the scalps of the Tigers of the Missouri State university; next the Keokuk osteopaths and finish ing up the job by going up into Iowa and slaughtering- the Keokuk Medics. The Kirksville school of osteopathy comprises seven or eight hundred stur dy men and their records last season phows that they know well how to han dle themselves on the gridiron. They are discussing the O. U. Kirksvillar game as the big game of the season and have the Ottawa team sized up as about the worst proposition in the west. They draw their conclusions from the manner in which the O. U. team ran all over the Kansas Cfty Medics at Kansas City during carnival week last fall. Ottawa certainly has a reputation at Kirks ville. OPPOSITION- BASEBALL. Hanlon Will Put His Club in Wash ington With Manning's Senators. Milwaukee, Sept. 4. From reliable in formation received here from a Nation al League magnate, there will be oppo sition baseball for Jimmy Manning m Washington next season. This gentle man stated that the story about Man ning getting National League players for next season is true. He says Ned Hanlon will move the Brooklyn club, 4 pps Sores and Ulcers never become chronic unless the blood is in poor condition is sluggish, weak and unable to throw off the poisons that accumulate in it.

St. Louis, Sept. 4. In the circuit court Tuesday Judge Zachrltz granted the pe tition of Attorney General Crow, and is sued a temporary injunction against the Delmar Jockey club, preventing book making, pool selling and betting on the races at Delmar track. It was placed in the hands of Sheriff Dickman for ser vice. Judge Zachritz made no ruling on the demurrer filed by the Delmar Jockey club and argued before him last week. The granting of the temporary injunc tion is, however equivalent to overruling the demurrer. The injunction will remain in force until the final hearing of the case on its merits, which probably will be at the opening of the October term of the cir cuit court. The Delmar Jockey club had intend ed to operate its track until September S6. The proprietors of the Delmar track announced that thera would be races at the track this afternoon, but that the injunction would be obeyed and no bookmaking, pool selling or betting per mitted.

The following by Will White is from the Emporia Ga aette: Tuesday morning, September 3, the Normal bell will ring again. With the arrival of each term of school, the in coming students start off up town with both eyes open for the "Rooms for rent" signs. Last year there were 2,150 stud ents enrolled at the Normal. Dr. Chris man will be succeeded by Dr. Triplet, from Clark university, Wooster, Mass. Mr. Carney, with the assistance of a woman teacher, will have entire charge of the physical culture department, as Miss Stone has resigned. Miss Maud Hamilton, graduate of the Normal, will assist in the Latin department. Joseph Hill will take charge of the department of the history of education. Mr. Flot felter, superintendent of the Atchison schools, will have charge c" the training department. As head of the grammar grades, Miss Wickard will succeed Miss Milligan. J. M. Rhodes. '89, comes from Minnesota to teach at the Normal. His will be general work. Miss Basset's po sition as assistant elocution teacher will be filled during tha coming year by Miss "Phelps, from Adrian college, Mich., and Miss Anna Joseph, of last year's graduating class, will succeed Miss Hobbs. Miss Hobbs has a good position at Bethany college. The Normal will take another stand in the front ranks of the athletic schools and a prophecy is that the Normal will have the best football team in the state. Three Patterson boys, two of whom were here last year, will be on the team and will bring with them tha Davidson brothers from Glasco. The students should rejoice in the fact that they are to have an all school paper next year. This is some thing the school has long been in need of, for the proper kind of spirit can not be fostered unless a paper in which ev ery student will take an interest. Jesso Green, who edited the Normal "Oven" last year, will edit the new paper and make a live school paper out of it. The faculty paper last year the Normal Monthly will be changed to a quarter ly. The first of the faculty lectures before the students will be given by Joseph Hill next Wednesday morning. President Wilkinson said that the students of the Normal annually bring into Emporia $200,000, which is not a high estimate of what the Normal means to Emporia. This estimate does not include the running expenses of the school or the salaries of the instruc tors. The legislature at. its last session ap propriated $60,000 for a new library building at the State Normal. This amount is not accessible until after July 1, li'02. The site has not been se lected and until that has been done no plans of the architects can be definitely adopted. Heretofore it has been the custom for the president of the institution to de posit bonds upon taking the office. At the request of President Wilkinson, this custom has been set aside this year, and instead the secretary of the faculty, Al len S. Newman, who attends to all tha finances of the school, will furnish the necessary bond and will sign all checks which heretofore the president had to sign. This change was made merely as a matter of convenience to both the president and the financial secretary. President Wilkinson now begins his first year as president of one of the best normal schools in the United States. He has for a number of years been con nected with the institution in such a way that he has attained a thorough knowledge of all the technical points that necessarily accompany the posi tion. Mr. Wilkinson has decided busi ness ability and is 1. man of strong dis ciplinary character. Under his admin istration the school svlll continue in tha prosperous way it now stands.

Captain Oswald Ames, who, by virtue of being -the tallest man in the British army, led the famous proces sion. He will marry Violet Dorothea Cecil, a cousin of the Marquis of Exeter and Lord Salisbury. Speeches Made by Senators ilarris3Burton and Others. Items of Interest From Ail Orer the State. Ottawa, Sept. 4. The large tabernacle at Forest park was tilled last night to hear Congressman Chester I. Long and Senator Harris. A large part of the au dience was composed of soldiers, who are now encampe,d in the park. J. P. Harris acted as chairman of the meet ing, and introduced Senator W. A. Har ris, who spoke for some time. Then Congressman Long was introduced. In opening his address Mr. Long ex pressed his pleasure at having an oppor tunity of speaking to the Twentieth Kansas regiment, and his regret that he could not be present at Topeka when the whole state welcomed them home. He spoke at length of the record of the regiment in the Philippines, and Mr. Long then referred to the subsequent brilliant career of the regiment's first colonel, Fred Funston. He recalled the fact that his promotion to brigadier general followed the campaign of the spring of 1899; he came home to Kansas with them to receive the homage and applause of the people of the state; he returned to the islands and it fell to his lot to practically end the insurrection in the Philippines; this he did by means of clever strategy, bravely and hardi hood. There are now about SCO Twentieth Kansas men and eight companies of the Kansas National Guardsmen encamped at Forest park, making about 700 men, all told. A grand parade occurred yes terday afternoon in which the Twen tieth Kansas men and the guardsmen took part. .Hundreds of vehicles follow ed the soldiers in their line of march. Hundreds of people lined the streets which were gaily decorated with flags and bunting for the occasion. Guard mount was given by a detach ment of the Twentieth men at 9 o'clock, assisted by the First Regiment band. At 10 o'clock assembly was given and the. soldiers, with several hundred citizens, congVegated in the tabernacle where they were addressed by Congressman J. D. Bowersock, H. J. Allen and oth ers. The day's exercises were closed at 10 o'clock last night by a banquet in the Chautauqua dining hall. Captain Wil liam J. Watson was toastmaster. The following speakers responded: Charles W. Whittington, "Amigos;" Charles L Sampson, "A Retrospect;" Emory Bail ey, "Will Abala Eepanola;" Collin II. Ball, "The Army;" Peter T. Duffle, "My Interview with Dcwev;" John M. Steele, "I Did It With My Little Pen;" Dr. Ernest Robinson, "EI Mexico;" Dr. Val ney T. Boaz, "Black Pills:" Edward L. Glasgow, "The Latest From Manila;" Bert S. Berry, "Various Soldatos." Another campfire was held at 10 o'clock today and addressed by Gover nor Stanley, Senator J. R. Burton, Cap tain Watson and others. The sham bat tle took place today at 2 o'clock between the Twentieth men and the First Regi ment K. N. G., and the reunion closes tonight with a union band concert by the First Regiment band and the Twen tieth Kansas band at the Rohrbaugh opera house. The talk that there is any politics here is indignantly denied by the men of the Twentieth who say thy are here to re new old acquaintances and swap stories and not to boom anybody for any office. CLAY'S NEW HIGH SCHOOL. Tha First Session Is Opened on Tuesday. Clay Center, Sept. 4.

Latin, Ger man and French; Nettie E. Munley, ad vanced English and elocution; Adell Brown, commercial instructor.

Frank Carey, Young Coffey County- Farmer, Found Dead. Burlington, Kan., Sept. 4. The body of Frank Carey, a single man 32 years old, was found near a pasture fence on his mother's farm just east of Burling ton Monday evening. Carey left the house about 3 o'clock Saturday afternoon with an ax and hatchet to repair the pasture fence. He also took with him a thirty-two calibre revolver. When his body was discover ed Monday evening by a neighbor wo man who was crossing the pasture he was lying with ..is face down with his arm under his head. The revolver was lying near his head. Three shots had been discharged and there were two bullet holes in a post nearby as though he had been shooting at a mark. There were two bullet holes in the roof of his mouth, but the doctors think both could have been made by one bullet. Death was doubtless instantaneous. When discovered the body was badly decomposed. It was not thought neces sary to hold an inquest. FRAUD IS CHARGED. Big Suit Filed Against Fort Scott .Banker. Fort Scott, Kan., Sept. 4. One of the most sensational civil suits ever brought in this county was filed in the United States court yesterday afternoon against C. W. Mitchell, receiver of the State Bank of this city, who is accused by Mrs. Annie Milne Chase, a wealthy Boston woman, of defrauding her by illegal methods out of $9,660. The suit was brought to recover this amount with interest and the petition is filed with sensational allegations against the defendant and Henry McKey, his son-in-Law, whom, the petition avers was Awful PSla Tcrturo Cured in 3 Days.

Mr. Mitchell is accused of having sold the improvement certificates amounting to $18,540. and appropriating the money to his own use and pretended to Mrs. Milne Chase that he had traded them for town lots in the city of La Porte, Tex., valued at $:i:0; and that Jater he secured possession of them and sold them to Henry McKey, his son-in-law, for $350. The petition also recites that about August 20, the plaintiff in action dis covered that Mr. Mitchell had disposed of the certificates to James Kennedy for $9,600 and immediately wrote to the defendant requesting an accounting for the same, that on August 23, 1901, in or der to defraud her out of the certifi cates he falsely and fraudulently rep resented to her that during the winter of 1901 he had traded the certificates for Texas land and that he had obtain ed $500 in April of 19ol for the land and that he intended to surprise her with the money when she arrived in Fort Scott. Owing to its sensational nature the case will be hard fought, and the attor neys for Mrs. Chase intimate that they will bring criminal proceedings against Mitchell. The defendant has resided in this city for years and this is the first time any scandal has ever been con nected with his name, although he has held many positions of trust. Henry McKey, who is mentioned in the petition as being a straw man in the alleged fraudulent transaction, was married to Miss Fannie Mitchell on August 21 and is now on his wedding tour. He is employed by a Kansas City wholesale house. MINERS' STRIKE POSTPONED Big Four Men Will Wait to Hssr From International Board. Pittsburg, Kan., Sept. 4. The threat ened strike of the miners employed by the Big Pour mines has been postponed until the National board of the United Mine Workers of America is heard from and the men went to work under con tracts dictated by the operators. The Central Coal Coke cumpany posted notices at the shafts stating that it would pay the 615 cents mine run prico and the eight hour day is to prevail, but it will not sign up with the United Mine Workers of America. The Kansas Texas Coal company did not post no tices but the men went to w:ork under standing the conditions of their con tracts.

GILLETT. Woman in Leavenworth Said Ens Was Ex-Cattle King's Wifa. Leavenworth, Sept. 4. A woman who claimed to be the wife of Grant GillaU. the One time king of Kansas cattlemen, was arrested in Venuto Bros', place on lower Cherokee street by Officer Monti -han yesterday. She was drinking, and had a good start for a jag when taken in. When taken to the city jail she said that she had come from Kansas City, where her husband had died and left her $35,000 life insurance. Later she said she was Mrs. Grant Gillett. The woman appears to have been drinking for some time and was about on the verge of hysterics. She had no money, but had a pair of gold bracelets which she wanted to pawn. She claims Chicago as her home before going to Kansas City. She will be held for in vestigation. At last reports the real Mrs. Grant Gillett was living in Abilene, "Kan. Sumner County Wheat. Wellington, Sept, 4. The people of this county have a right to brag and crow. For years we have been at the head of the procession of all the wheat raising counties of the world in the amount of wheat produced. But for nineteen hundred years the world never saw wheat that tested more than 64 pounds to the bushel. And .now in 1901. this, the great wheat county of the world, eclipses herself with a yield of seven million,' five hundred thousand bushels. But that isn't all. Listen! In all this world of wheat raised in this county this year, wdieat that tests un der 60 pounds is scarce and fields yield ing 63 and 64 pounds of wheat are num erous. From a farm about five miles east of Wellington a field yields wheat that weighs sixty-five pounds to the bushel, a fact unknown in the previous history of the world. If you live in Sumner county you have a right to brag and crow. Fruit Crop at Abilsna. Abilene, Sept. 4. Charles Young, liv ing about a mile northwest of town, has just begun marketing his large crop of peaches and plums. He will have about 1.500 bushels of peaches and expects to ship most of them.

EOLD DEED REMEMBERED. Famous "Andrews Kaid" Locomotive to Be Put on Exhibition. The famous engine "General," which was used by Captain Jamea J. Andrews and his party of raiders in an attempt to burn the bridges on the Western Atlantic railroad, on April 12, 1S62, has been sent by the Nashville, Chattanoo ga St. Iouisj raliway to be set up in the union depot at Chattanooga aa a permanent monument to the heroes of that daring raid. The engine and sev eral boxcars were stolen from a passen ger train while the crew was eating breakfast at Big Shanty. The raiders were closely pursued by the conductor and a party of Confederate soldiers on a switching engine, and at a point be tween Ringgold and Crraysville the en gine was abandoned and the bridge burning scheme had to be given up as a failure. All of the party, numbering 2'i or 23, were captured and eight were ex ecuted as spies. The survivors have erected a monument in memory of th affair, in the national cemetery at Chat tanooga. The X.. C. St. L. Ry. has erected a tablet marking the spot whera the engine was captured, another where it was abandoned and a third tablet has been erected in front of the engine in Chattanooga. RUNAWAY LOCOMOTIVE. Did $100,000 WortbTof Damage to a Canning Factory. Occasionally a good deal of damage is done to private property by a derailed locomotive. On August 24, a Chicago Northwestern locomotive and boxcar, in the absence of the engineer and fireman got loose on a grade in Janesville, Wis., jumped the track and went through one end of a canning factory. The building was of brick, just finished at a cost of $130,000. The engine struck a large wa ter tank and it fell lengthwise of the building and crushed through. A large number of tin cans were smashed, and costly special machinery, engine and boilers were badly damaged. The loss i3 estimated at $100,000. NEW JOB CHEATED.

Railway Ga zette. At Salt Lake the scalpers are endeavor ing to scalp each other. One man is ac cused of standing in with the railroad and bulletins to the road all tickets not bought by him but by rival scalpers. He tets the numbers of tickers, it is claimed, and if he cannot buy them at cheap rates he bulletins them. If he does buy them, the rf'ther scalpers declare, he is protected. Kansas City Journal. In two scalping offices in St. Louis which were raided by the police a few days asro. a large number of altered, counterfeited and otherwise irregular tickets were seized. Some of the tickets had been washed, some were plugged, destinations were changed, and one was a counterfeit altogether. This is the kind of business which legislatures are disin clined to interfere with by passing laws which would protect passengers and carriers alike. Railway Age. The Baltimore Ohio on August 19 brought 4,'X'O excursionists to Chicago from Chicago Junction. O.. five trains of l'j coaches each being required. The ro nd trip rate was J3.n0. the distance being miles. This is the first of two excursions that this company will run into Chicago from points in Ohio and Indiana during the summer. The excursions are operated under an agreement among the roads east of Chicago, each line agreeing to run a certain number on specified dates, so there will be no competition among the lines. Railway Age. In regard to the report at the end of the present year the Atchison, Topeka Santa Fe will abandon its trans-Pacific steamship line from San Diego, Cal.. now operated by the California Oriental Steamship company, and will establish ati Orivntal service from the same port, with connections for Central and South Amer ica, it is announced that the contract between the Santa Fe and the California fc Oriental company does not expire until February 1 next. It may oa may not be renewed, and all reports on the subject are premature. Kansas City Journal. There has been considerable doing along the Hudson River railroad of late, in the way of changing names of stations. The most notable ciianee was the one from Sing Sing to Ossining: and it is esti mated that from 10 to 20 passengers are carried by the station now every day. The station so well known as Low Point is still remembered by scores of pass engers as Low Point. It was named Carthage landing, but the public simply would not have it, and now the company lias changed again, and the place is called Chelsea. The station on the West Shore road so long known as Cranstons. is now known as Highland Falls, and passengers are frequently carried by it on that ac count. Some one has noted that when the company changes the name of a station it at once proceeds to make, im provements in the place. If this be the Invariable rule, what is the matter with changing the name of the Poughkeepsie station to anv name under the sun. pro vided it wiil "result in a new station? Poughkeepsie Press.

In every well ordered culinary department we find that the importance of having a lemon on hand is as great a considera tion in the -iStination of the cook as the presence of the historic horseshoe nail. Without a lemon when a lemon is needed, tiie cook considers that she has wrought in vain. Nearly everything in the sweet list of dishes is .lavored with lemon occa sionally, and not only in sweets is it used, but added to many other dishes that, but for its agreeable pungency and flavor, would be rather tasteless and insipid. THE JUICE OP LEMON. This is valued principally on account of its useful unti-scorbutic properties, and for this reason should be used in some form almost every day in winter as in summer, as the heavier meat diet usually consumed in cold weather cre ates the same need for blood-purifying elements. A wise use of nature's rem edies as food accessories will not only add to the pleasure of eating, but fur nish all the digests necessary, without resorting to artificial help The acid of lemon (citric) while too strong to use uless diluted with some other substance or neutralized with oils, is the most digestible and whole some of all acid?, and the most service able, as it can be used for all practical purposes when the introduction of an acid is necessary to fond. Another great virtue it possesses, which will re commend it to all cautious housewives, is that it is a natural and wholesome acid which they may obtain from na ture's laboratory without fear of adul teration, although be it known that if is cheaper to produce pure cider vine gar than an imitation of the same; the apple crop governs the supply, how ever, and when the supply is less than the demand, artificial methods may be resorted to. The acid of lemon Juice being very sharp, less is required to d:i the work, and, being almost colorless, it can be used in delicate sauces, jellies, etc., without spoiling their appearance. The several acids cf vegetable prod uct all probably act in the process of digestion and nutrition in much the same way; exerting a solvent action up on many of the food substances. Re garding them in the light of nutrients, they would be of little value, as they cannot be taken in sufficient quantity to perceptibly increase the vital powers. But all foods are not taken with the purpose of increasing force or power. After using the best materials for build ing the structure, there are many little provisions to be considered for keeping it in good repair. For this purpose we have what many regard aa the nones sentials among food materials. Too lit tle attention is paid to these so-called superfluous matters.whieh, after all, are the very factors that make the bodily structure a desirable possession. ESSENTIAL, OIL OF LEMON. This oil, that gives such a pungent and agreeable flavor, occurs in the rind of the fruit; the slightest scratch on the surface will liberate it, and for this reason and because tne white, pulpy part lying directly underneath the thin, yellow skin, is bitter and indigestible, we should grate the outer part very lightly and carefully. The best grade of the oil .-of lemon is. of necessity, ex pensive, and it must be caretuiiy ex tracted. Housekeepers should remem ber this when purchasing, and also bear in mind the fact that the best goods are the cheapest, as they will go much further than a weaker and perhaps adulterated quality. In all prepared food products we must remember that living prices, at least, must be divided between the producer, the man who prepares them for the market and the seller, to say nothing of those who are employed by these to do the actual la bor. The justice of high prices is some times questionable, but not when the goods are of the highest and purest duality. KEEPING LEMONS. It is a misfortune indeed to live beyond the immediate reach of a lemon. But generally a little forethought and man agement will provide against the "found wanting" in this case. There are several methods used to preserve the fresh lemon. That em ployed by the growers is wrapping each one separately in tisfsue paper and keeping them in a cool, dry place. An other way that is often, practical is to cover them with buttermilk in a covered vessel; changing the buttermilk every fortnight at least. It is claimed that they will keep fresh for six months or longer. When wanted for use, .rub them perfectly dry with a soft cloth. LEMON SOUP. This is a well-made chicken broth thickened with eggs and cream or milk to the consistency of thick cream, and flavored with lemon juice just before sering. LEMON SAfCE FOR FISH. Set a small saucepan over another containing hot water; place in the saucepan four ounces of butter, with the juice of a large lemon. Beat rap idly until thick and hot, add salt and pepper to taste, and just before remov ing from the fire beat in the yolks of two eggs, and when thoroughly heated remove at once from the fire, and serve. LEMON JELLY. Soak half a package of plain gelatine That's why tea and coffee make so many people nervous, dyspeptic and rheumatic. The poison is known as CAF FEIN. Tea contains 6 per cent, and coffee 2 per cent, of this poison, of which Thi erains will kill a cat. If you have sick headache or Indiges tion, stop tea and coffee at once. It's no trouble at all when you drink CARAMEL CEREAL, the Battle Creek Sanitarium scientific substitute for coffee. Has a fine aroma, a pleasant flavor. Made from pure cereals. No molasses or cheap sugar factory refuse which many so called cereal beverages contain. The genuine bears a picture of the world famous Battle Creek Sanitarium, Battle Creek, Mich.

This can be served with boiled custard or fresh fruit. The latter can be molded with the jelly. LEMON IN SALAD DRESSING. This acid is much to be preferred in making either the plain French dress ing of oil and acid or the mayonnaise, except when only the green salad leaves are used, then tarragon vinegar gives that peculiar and delicate soupcon that makes it so pleasing. This vine gar, as we have already stated, can be made at home if one desires to econo mize. Lemon juice Is more certain in its results, in mixing with the oil, than the vinegars, as the latter frequently contains considerable water. LEMON BUTTER SAUCE. Put a large tablespoonful of corn starch, two heaping tablespoonf ula of granulated sugar, a pinch of salt, the grated rind of a lemon and the juice, an ounce of butter and the yolks of two eggs in a saucepan and beat them to gether until smooth and light; then add quickly a pint of boiling water; and cook until it begins to thicken.

These may be served hot or cold with fruit sauce. Inquries Answered. (No attention paid to inquiries not giving name and address of writer, plainly written.) Dr. W. H.

Grind the corn very fine, use a food chopper for tha purpose.

The Chicago Tribune has been confi rming' some statistics of lynching which are appalling when presented in cold fgures. The statistics cover a period of sixteen years, from to 1890, in clusive, and they show that during that period thre were i'.alii lynehings in forty stales. The only states that have not bad a ca.se of lynching since 1?S" re Delaware, Massachusetts, New Hampshire, Rhodelsland and ftah. The lowest number of lynchhigs in any one year since 1S3 was 107 in 1?99, and the highest was l-SC inlSS2. The year 1001 lias still four months to- run, yet the total number of lynching and burn ings at the staWi has already reached 315.

WHO ARE LEADERS f A letter from Senator Vest is pub lished in which, after speaking kindly of Mr. Bryan, whom he regards as a good speaker but a. poor leader, lie ays: "Leadership is a peculiar and rare tal ent. A. man may be an orator, lawyer nd statesman, but not necessarily a good leader. Jefferson, Van Buren. Lincoln and McKinley have been the rreatest political leaders and manag ers In this oountiy. and Mr. McKinley feu never tad a superior in that re gard." But isn't it true of these men men tioned by Senator Vest, that they have rot been leaders at all, but goo 1 fol lowers? Ttiy have seen the drift of public sentiment quickly enough to give the people what they wanted and thu3 come to be regarded as I ders of men. Men like Bryan. Elaine and Henry Clay re the leaders. They go in advance of public sentiment and beckon the people to follow. Th people general!-" liave declined to do so !n sufficient number to make the leadership count. It -will be remembered of President McKinley. whom Senator Vest regards s-s a leader, that not once during the campaign of is.) did he tell an audi ence of Ms county men thai the gold standard, was a good thins for them SAd that they ouglit to have it. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.J 'A lot of things will not bear close in spection. If you borrow any thing from your neighbor, and forget to return it, don't let it be potatoes. A certain Atchison man makes eo many e&Iis Sunday afternoon that he la called the "Nap Disturber." We don't care If you leave the pits In, or take them out, plum jam is about the best thing on earth. What has become of the old-fashioned woman who always served pickled tongue when she had company for sup per? A man on a small salary, with a large family of children, has as hard a time as a fly in the home of a very neat housekeeper. Kvery unmarried woman has said, "I'd like to own that man for one day; I'd teach him to behave." But have you noticed that when they marry, they don't seem to manage any better than others? An Atchison woman recently Intro duced the newest fashion of eating cake with a fork. She had seven girl guests, and all of them ate cake with their fingers .not kaowing what the new fork was for. It doesn't take a PRrty dress in a trunk to make a guest popular. A wo man is visiting in Atchison who never owned a party dress in all her life, who can't sing, dance, or hammer the piano, but who is so popular that her friends are fighting for dates. This is the season when Mary's folks in Kalamazoo acquire some social prominence by sending her away to school to Tombigbee, and when Annie's folks in Tonibigbee talk proudly of the advantages of sending Annie to school at Kalamazoo. The point seems to be anywhere for an education, so it is far enough to boast about.. An Atchison woman has a habit of eating too much, and she invented a method of knowing when she has had enough, and will have her discovery patented. An ingeniously made little alarm bell is made in her corset, and when the pressure on the corset from eating amounts to to many pounds to the square inch, the alarm Is set off and the woman must quit. Sometimes she is in the midst of a juicy steak, or sne may be just tasting a delicious dish of ice cream, or she may have just reached her coffee, when the pressure sets the alarm off, but she then quits. When visitors are at the house, the alarm startles them a little at first, but they soon get used to the gong. The inven tor says the alarm has been of more benelit to her than a score of doctors. QUAKER BEFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. Fast and furious chained bulldogs. Time flies, but a bandmaster can beat it. A fortune teller the commercial agency. If a hammock is hung somebody will swing for it. The youthful artist generally does his best drawing on the old man. A hotel can stand without a peer, but it won't stand long without arrival. When a lover says "mine own" he usually feels a whole lot richer than most mine owners. It's not the man that breaks Ids word ottenest who is the best authority on parts of speech. Hook "I'm going to the shore for change." Nye "You'll need it most when you come back." The hamfat actor has a hard time of it. His ambition eggs him on and the public usually eggs him off. Hoax "I see in the papers that two brothers) named Hart have been arrest ed for swindling." Joax "Ah! Two Harts that beat as one." "Say. pop." remarked little Willie, is corn raising an infant industry?" "No, my boy." answered the head of the house. "Well, what do they need cribs for?" "Say, cull." said the burly individual. "what do youse mean be tellin' people I wuz a 'hard citizen?'" "That's all right," hastily explained the meek man. I meant you were a brick. "What! Marry my daughter," ex claimed the old man.

PASSING OF TENDEHLOIN. fFrom the Brooklyn Eagle. New York's Tenderloin is passing. Its days are done. When the wandering actor returns in a few weeks to his Broadway haunts he is likely to wonder if he has come to the right town, lor there is little but the sidewalk left of the Tenderloin he formerly .knew. Of course, Herald Square is still there, ar.d. if any one ever used it for a landmark, so is the Greeley statue, but the ruthless hand of the wrecker has been laid upon ev erything else and nothing but ruin and desolation remain. Business has at last driven out pleas ure. In the place where James J. Cor bett once sho.ved himself to admiring patrons there is now nothint but an empty, silent stretch of rooms. On the spot where he was wont to tell his ad mirers how he disposed of Sullivan a steam drill is hard at work giving a free exhibition of what it can do In the way of knocking holes in Manhat tan rocks. Childs' restaurant, known gratefully to many a needy seeker after fortune, has been reduced to its original brick, and Wilson's corner drug store once the favored rendezvous of sweethearts, the shelter for street car patrons, and the emporium for stamps, directories, grease paint and cold cream to the Tenderloin at larger is in the hands cf the wreckers. Koster Rial's the survivor of many a financial wreck has succumbed at last to a foe against which its spirit battles in vain. It has received it3 quietus from the house wreckers. Daily its walls grow less and another three weeks will see its end. There is perhaps no place in town with the single ex ception of the Kden Uunee better or more widely known than this once fam ous music hall. The Hotel Aulic Is doomed. That good grayVR-ail against which so many aspir ing vaudeville backs have leaned is al ready undergoing demolition and there is a deep hole behind it. The story that a disengaged actor fell into the hole the other night because he took the old familiar place on trust and omitted to look lor the wall before he leaned against it, causes no amusement in the Tenderloin. The habitues of the Ten derloin are sad. They are past jesting. Generations of budding tragedians have leaned against the Aulic while they gazed upon a thankless world. As well might they expect to fall through the solid earth as through the stanch walls of the Aulic. Progress has at least been given the whip hand and it is driving what some people call vice before it in a fashion that all the reform societies in the world cannot equal. The beer gardens, chop houses, music halls and other places of amusement with which the old Tenderloin was filled have scatter ed in many directions and a whole sec tion has moved bag and baggage to the vicinity of Longacre Square. The lower class of houses of amuse ment still hover around Twenty-ninth street west of Broadway, but it is not long until these too must go. Since business has claimed the ground in this part of town for its own it has become too valuable for concert halls and places of this kind. The first step in the direction of reform was taken when the ground was bought for what is promised to be the largest and finest department store in the world. Al ready the ground lying between Thirty fifth street on the north, Broadway on the east, and the west wall of Koster Rial's on the west, swarms with workmen. From a little distance that site, which was once the center of tile Tenderloin, looks like a great ant hill, with hun dreds of ants running this way and t'.iat. each busily doing his own little share of the work. It is less than three weeks since ground wa.s tirst broken there, but already much has been done toward getting the ground ready for building. Over five hundred men are at work night and day. Three big- engines supply power for the drills arid cranes on the Thirty-fourth street side. There is another powerful plant on the Thirty-fifth street side, where a long incline has been built to allow the loaded teams to reach the street. The engine at this point provides power lor a cable which is fastened to the tongues of the wagons, for the slope is so steep that unless this help were accorded the horses could not haul the loads. m dozens of places no work at all hat been done on the site and yet. in an other eighteen months, department store, complete in every detail, will stand on this ground and business will hold sway where pleasure once reigned supreme. The district which every one knew as the Tenderloin extended from Thirty fourth street and Broadway south, north, east and west, the center of gaiety being on Twenty-ninth street be tween Broadway and Sixth avenue. Here the Bohemia., the Cairo Cafe, the Berlin and the Savoy Concert hails still hold sway. All have altered very much for the better, but still they are doorrw ed. Not far away is the Haymarket. once noted as the most disreputable place in the world. There is a church service there every Sunday now. One of the gambling houses which the vice crusaders could not find is also in the neighborhood and though all these places stiil hold their own. it is only a question of time until they, too, must make way for business houses. With three solid blocks devoted strictly to business right in the heart of the Tenderloin, -it was inevitable i that gaiety should give place to dollars When Hammerstein built his big thea ter on Longacre Square lie was looked i upon as a lunatic for going so far north. That despised site is now the center of the amusement world, and soon it is likely to be one of the most southernmost, for the cry is North ward." The Tenderloin has followed the theaters. Nowadays or rather, nowanights Longacre Square is the center of that pleasure loving whirl which once made the Tenderloin bright. The big and rather dingy square ha blossomed out in a few months unt.l it aspires to take the plce of Herald Square. It is a poor imitation an imi tation that the Tenderloin would not tolerate if it could help it. It is help less, however. A dozen times it was warned that the beer gardens of Broad way were to be demolished that the old time Tenderloin was to be wiped out. The reople of the Tenderloin, with their typical carelessness, let the warn ing pass. They thought the Tender loin was an institution, not a location. Now they are 'realizing that scro things don't bear transplanting. Long as was the warning the Tenderloin, nevertheless was caught napping. Its houses cf arnustment were literally pulled down over its head. In the theatrical season the pleisure seekers on Broadway nightly nun:br over half a million, but the greatest crowd has always been between Long acre Square and Twenty-eighth street. In the coming season there will not be much of a crowd below the Grand opera house. How far north the crowd will venture in Its search for amuse ment remsin? to be seen. There are these who predict that it will extend along the side of Central Park at last, and that, in the day-s to come, the lower end of the big park wi':l be the promenade cf the Tenderloin. There have been greater changes than this in New York, and It may come to pass. Fifty-ninth street has already be come a very bad imitation of a back street In the Tenderloin. Already one hears of the "New Ten derloin." It is supposed to extend from Fifty-ninth street to the triangle form ed by the intersection of Columbus and Amsterdam avenues at Bixty-sixth street. To a certain extent this new Tenderloin is a fact, but it contains none of the brightness of the Broadway district. The development of New York's big department stores is responsible for the breaking up of the Tenderloin. and how ever grateful the city at large may be for the change, the people who consid ered it their home and playground are not at ail pleased. Every big store that may henceforth be located upon upper Broadway will drive out more and more of the pleasure resorts. Judging by the present exodus caused by the prepara tion for the Macy store some of them will go out of business altogether. Oth ers will move higher up town, only, it would seem, to be again hunted away by the resistless onrush of big business houses. FATAL FAMILY FEUD.

The six robbers who held up the Cotton Belt train at Eylau switch, four miles west of Tex arkana have been tracked by a posse with bloodhounds into Sulphur bottoms, 20 miles west of the scene of the rob bery. It is estimated that the robbers procured not less than $30,000 in money but the Cotton Belt railway and Pacific express officials decline to make a state ment. Superintendent Russ, of the ex press company left Dallas headquarters for the scene of the robbery early this morning. The robbers dynamited and plundered the express safes and then rode away on good horses. St. Louis, Sept. Up to 2:30 p. m. not a word had been received at the Cotton Belt railroad directed from the scene of the holdup. The general sup erintendent at Tyler, Texas, wires that the reward offered by the two compa nies had been posted and everything possible was being done to effect the capture of the robbers. A third posse has been sent to the scene with one bloodhound and efforts are being made to secure more dogs from New Boston and Douglasville, Texas. It Is expected tney will have a number oti the robbers' trail before night. The United States marshal and Special Officer Wheeler have arrived at the scene of the hold up. St. Louis, Sept. 4.

Tear in England. London, Sept. 4. The Times today re views the cereal year which ended Au gust 31. It says that the wheat trada was subject to remarkably little excite ment, tha weekly averaga price of Eng lish wheat fluctuating only S7d pt-r quarter. Three years ago the fluctua tion was more than lis, caused by th Spa nish-American war and gigantic speculations in the United States. All prices were slightly lower at the end of the year than at the beginniiiK. -Forty-one and live-tenths per cent of the wheat grown in the year as report ed sold in the statutory markets in Kngiand and Wales, which were estab lished by the Corn Returns Act of 1n'. These figures are exact, and the aver age prices thus established are impor tant. Tithes are baed on them yet. as they are only for the best salable grains, they represent something more than the real value of the whole out put. The average price of wheat was 27's per 4i0 pounds.

Preparations have been completed for tha starting up of the Demmler Tin Plate plant at Mc Keesport, and the resumption will probably take place late this afternoon or tonight. The start will be made with a full force of deputy sheriffs on jjuaj-d. the American Tin Plate company hav ins' served notice on Sheriff McKinley of this, Allegheny county, that violence was feared. The introduction of the strong arm of the law into the steel strike will. It is believed, undoubtedly bring about crisis in the situation. In some circles it may lead to an early settlement of the present labor troubles and in others the presence of tha sheriff's force may result in a conflict. The request for protection was made by Superintendent Ijauck and Sheriff -McKinley at once made arrangements for dispatching a laape number of dep uties to the scene. This will be done thiH afternoon. The deputies Will be under the command of Chief Deputy I,owry, although Sheriff McKinley n..ay accompany him. The chief deputy said he did not an ticipate trouble. The strikers, he said, would be treated with the utmost re spect, but they would not be permitted to encroneh upon property that is not theirs. The deputies will be armed. President Shaffer of the Amalga mated association said he knew last week that the request would be mad for r.rotei l iuii. "If our men keep away from the mills which I have no doubt they will," said he. "they can put all the deputies they want there." President Shaffer will be on hand, op have a irusted assistant at the plant to see that no violence is done to strike breakers and that his men make no demonstration. This morning 400 men went to work in the National Tube works. There was a crow d ahout the entrauce to the plant, but the strikers failed to make good their threat to prevent the men return ing and there was no demonstration. The men who went back today were threaders, machinists, carpenters and molders. The furnaces havr not been put in op eration, but the machinery is running and the men are finishing left over stock for pn.all, short time orders. Ths management said tile different depart ments will be started as fast as the men report for w ork. The situation at the other mills m this d'-ariet prejei.f.i nothing new. The Star tin plate works management claimed that f.n.v mills wire working tun. wiin laio strikers afaiMt that only one mill Is in d eration, and tint the plant is crippled more todav tlvm has been for some t'ece Painter's. Lindsay McCutcheon s, Clark's t ad the Upper and flower Car lteeie mills were all running about as ve-uerdav. The strikers mill keep pick ets on duty, but there is no disorder. President Shaffer, of the Amalgamated aooceuiou lauafhed at the report of the threatened secession of the tin plate workers when the matter was presented to htm this morning, but lie refused to make anv comment. Tie said the general situation' was satisfactory to the strikers. ROOSEVELT If! DEMAND. Colonel Has IleceiTed This Year 2,000 Imitations to Speak. Chicago, Sept 4.

Planned to Burn a Theater Building in Chicago. Chicago. Sept. 4. What the firemen say was a well arranged plan to destroy the Orpheon theater building in V ashington street, opposite the city hall, was made shortly after midnight.' The building is a four-story stru; pre, and many of the rooms are occupied as offices bv various firms. The principal oeoupant'is the Music Hall company, now operating the Orpheon theater. Assistant Pire Marshal Horan and nis men discovered evidences of incendiarism in a room on the fourth floor. This evi dence, now in the hands of the fire de partment, consists of one large bottie containing gasoline, two glasses half idled with kerosene oil and several can dles burned almost to the end. The fire men also have a bundle of rags soaked In oil and a quantity of charred news papers. On the floor a train of powder was also found. The tire was first discovered by pedes trians who were attracted by what sounded like a small explosion. An alarm was given, but Uie quick arrival ot the fire department prevented what might have been a serious fire. The fact that the explosion occurred after tnetheater was closed is regarded as most fortunate. If the explosion, as planned, had occurred earlier in the evening, disastrous results might have followed, as there were many people in the house. The matter will be thoroughly investi gated by the authorities. GAGE WILL BE THERE Secretary of Treasury Will At tend Baukers' Contention. Milwaukee, vTis., Sept.

o TOPEHA STATK JOURNAL, WEDNESDAY EVENING. SEPTEMBER 4, 1S0S. RISE ENMASSE. Oakland People Show City Conn' cil About the Dump. Trove What a TiIe,Filthy Place It Is. MUST CLOSE WINDOWS. People Who Lire in Vicinity Tell of Horrible Stench. HaTe to Close Windows Before They Can Eat Jleals. No Steps Yet Taken to Abandon the Health Menace. Touthful Judge Disney of Oakland, the joint keeper's terror, led the at tack of a regiment of enraged Oak landers on the city counil last night, and a d.-sperate attempt was made to drive the city lathers out of their posi tion behind the city dump. The Oaklanders were farmed with a big- bundle of affidavits. were well drilled in oratory, and each member of the regiment was loaded to the muzzle with argument. After shelling the for tifications with affidavits. t'ne Oaklan 1 ers opened fire with their biggest ora torical guns, ana almost silenced the batteries of the sanitary committee and board of health. The attack was well planned and executed, and the council was placed on the defensive through out. The result of the engagement was that General Hashes and tiie council -were obliged to teiire for rest and ie inforcements. They promised to renew the battle on Friday bv making a grand rec onnaissance in force in the vi cinity of the dump, for the purpose of ascertaining the strength of the ene my's position. General Disney, however, threatens to follow up his advantage gained last night by forcing a renewal of the battle in the district court this morning by a manoeuver known as the injunction ambuscade. The Oaklanders declare They will light till the city abandons its position on the city dump Question. There were nvre than a score of peo ple from Oakland and vicinity at the council met tin? last night to protest against the location of the city dump on the river bank in that part of town. It wes the most determined kick on any proposition the council has encountered lor a long time. To iil further complicate the situa tion, the two crematory propositions -were submitted to the council, one by Oscar Kuehne, and one by Frank Zingheim. The Oakland people want the council to abandon the dump instanter, and accept one of the crematory p oposi tions. They would not listen to any suggestion of delay. The council begged for two months time, for thirty days, for a week, but the stern men from east of town turned all sugges tions of this soi t to tiie wall without looking at them. Finally the council voted to consti tute itself a smelling committee, and proceed en masse to the dump on Fri day afternoon at 2 o'clock, then and there to see whether or not its odor is as bad as the Oakland people say it is. Meantime, the committeee on heilth and sanitation will meet this evening and discuss the relative merits of the two crematory propositions. Council man Myers has agreed to take Cou icil man Griley's place on that committee, (luring Mr. Griley's absence from To peka. The committee will be composed of Myers. Nichols and Warner. The two crematory propositions do r.ot differ very materially. Both plans contemplate the utilization of the dead animals products as far as possible. Both plants will be located some dis tance from town, though the Zingheim proposition has a slight advantage in being somewhat closer than the other. Mr. Kuehne wants a franchise for ten years; Mr. Zingheim asks for only sev en. Mr. Zir.gheim's proposition is rath er more definite and certain, and tells in detail the plana of the work. The bundle of affidavits which was presented by the Oakland people con tained some very bitter denunciations of trie dump. The following are extracts and summaries of some of the more im portant affidavits: THE AFFIDAVITS. K. Sardou says in his affidavit that he has lived in Tcpeka 47 years; that his home is about one-half mile from ttre -ity dump; that he has been annoyed by the dump and crematory for 12 years and that at times his home has been un bearable because cf stench; that all of ti;s protests have been answered with the argument that the nuisance was only temporary, and would soon be re moved; that from the lowness of the river at this time the new dump which hue been established will exceed in hor ror any thing .hat has as yet been per petrated upon him; that he has had several sales of property spoiled on ac count of the Blench, and that one tenant I as notified him he would have if tha dump -were established. Mr. Sardou says fce has made soundings in the river and finds it to be only 2 feet deep in the deepest place, and that most of the filth Is being dumped in water 7 inches deep. Frank S. Thomas says in a sworn statement that he has found it difficult to keep tenants on his bO-aere farm across the street from the dump. He eays that the people living there have to shut their windows before they eat their meals. He further argues that the property owners can maintain a dam age suit against the city if the dump la located there. C. H. Kutz swears that he is principal of a school on State street in Pleasant Valley. He says it haa often been nec essary to shut the windows to keep out The foul odors from the old crematory. vand that in the nature of things will be worse under the new order of things. George P. Bates swears that he is the owner of Bates- addition and that his tenants complain about the stench from the dump. Mr. Bates considers it a menace and detriment to his property. C. E. James, of 314 East Sixth, makes affidavit that he owns property on the road leading past the dump, and finds it Ji;iicult to keep tenants there. He also states that it is almost impossible to force his team to go past the place be cause of the stench. R. Dietrich says he considers the dump a nuisance and a. menaoe to health. J. B. Billard makes oath that he is the owner of 110 acres near the dump; that the river current carries the filth down and leaves it on hla land, mak ing a Btench dangerous to health. R. V. Leeson and J. H. Dills say in their affidavit that the dump occasion ucu a alenoa that vomiting was pro- i duced. They further state that refuse pollutes the water of the river. George W. Holden made affidavit that when wind blows from the north or northeast he is greatly annoyed by the foul odors and considers the dump a menace to health. x R. B- Ford asserts in his sworn state ment that he lives at 413 Ash street, and that he has been put to great in convenience and loss by the stench from the dump, and that he believes the sick ness in bis family to be due to the city filth. R. S. VanSant swears that he lives a mile east of the dump and is greatly annoyed by the horrible odor. He says that the presence of the dump causes" property in that vicinity to decrease in value. Geo. J. Miller, of 1209 Seward avenue, says the dump is a nuisance, a menace to health, and a detriment to real estate values in that locality. J. L. Fatetrson says it is necessary to close the doors and windows to keep out vile smells from the dump. He says property is depreciating in value be cause of the location of the dump. J. L. Osborn says the dump is a nuisance and ought to be abated. Dr. M. O. Millard, a resident of Oak land and practicing physician for 2S years, says that if refuse is dumped in to the river it will lodge on a sand bar near Oakland and be a menace to health. J. M. Orner. a nursery man, says that he finds it difficult to get people to work for him because of the awful stench. litis. E. Robbing states that he lives within 50 yards of the dump and that unless the dump is abated he will be i obliged to move. Mary Linden, who has for six years lived within a quarter of a mile of the dump, says it is necessary to close the windows and doors of her house to keep the stench out. J. E. Reynolds, whose home is half a mile south of the dump, tells the same old story, and says the dump is a public nuisance and should be abated. S. B. Weaver says that for 3 years he has lived mile from the dump and that the dump is a nuisance; and that it is a disgrace to a civilized com munity. Thos. Horsefield says that he lives half a mile from the dump, and that his property has depreciated in value because of the vile odors. J. K. Mitchell says in his affidavit that he believes sickness is excessive ih his community because of the dump, and that the dump is an outrage to the community. Joseph Lang says he resides at 438 Chase avenue, says the dump smells so badly that people sometimes can not eat their meals. He says it is almost impossible to drive past the dump. He says the odor is especially bad for any who are sick. MINOR MATTERS. Aside from the dump and crematory discussion, there was little of impor tance done at the open meeting of the council. An ordinance was introduced provid ing that in the future the fees in police court shall be 75 cents a day instead of $1.50. The higher court has said that the city must pay a reasonable compensa tion for witnesses, and it is deemed that 75 cents is enough. The witnesses of the city court are paid 75 cents. The petition from the First ward for the restoration of ex-Policeman S. M. Hall to the police force was referred to the committee on police. A petition was received from the Third ward and another from the Fifth, asking that the council grant permis sion to keep hogs in the city limits till cold weather and slaughtering time comes. These were referred to the board of health. Joab Mulvane wa3 granted permis sion to pave First street adjoining the new Parkhurst-Da vis buiiding on the south. The city will pay for the grad ing and Mr. Mulvane and the railroad companies will pay for all the rest. The council voted that one sanitary policeman be detailed to see to it that all houses in the west part of North Topeka are properly numbered. This action was taken on the advice of Post master John Guthrie. Free mail deliv eries are not given where the houses are not numbered. The pay of Excavation Inspector Mat tingly was raised from $40 to $50 a month, on the ground that Mr. Mat tingiy is obliged to furnish a horse for his work. The contract for supplying the city with coal was let to the Southwestern Fuel company, which bid $3.25 forOsage county shaft, $1.75 for Wear City slack, and $2.03 for Frontenac mill coal. The only other bidder was the Wear Coal company. There were several applications for watering troughs and electric lights. A fire alarm box was ordered stationed near the new woollen mill In North To peka. This will cost $12o. A BAD BILL "Swiftwater" William Arrested in San Francisco. Pan Francisco, Cal., Sept. 4. Wi'llam O. Gates, otherwise known as "Swift water Bill," to arrested in this c.ty today on information sent by the au thorities of Tacoma, charging him with the abduction of his 14 year old niece, with whom it is said he eloped from Taroma about three weeks ago. The couple arrived in this city about ten days ago. but their identity was not discovered until yesterday. It is al leged that "Swiftwater Bill" married the girl In spit of the fact that he al ready had a wife. SIGHTS A HE COOL. Minimum Recorded by Government Thermometer la 61.

Office hours 2 lo p. to. DIDN'T KNOW HE The New York Police Arrest Mrs. Nation. WThen They Learn Her Identity She Is Released. FOLLOWED BY A MOB. She Yisited Saloons and Startled the Bartenders. Smasher Laughed Good Natur edly Through It All. Mrs. Nation's exciting' experiences in the east continue. It is evident from the New York Monday papers that Sun day was a busy day for her. The following is taken from the New York Journal: Mrs. Carrie Nation invaded New York yesterday with such effect that at one time in the afternoon the police took her in charge, not knowing who she was, under the impression that a riot was in progress and that Mrs. Nation had started it. Mrs. Nation reached the city at 9:30 o'clock in the morning. She went to the Victoria Hotel and then to St. Patrick's Cathedral, and after the services visit ed a few saloons, causing consternation among the proprietors and employes, Then she returned to the hotel for an hour's rest and started forth again in the afternoon to ascertain how the Sunday law is observed in this city. At 6 o'clock she was back at the hotel for dinner, and at 8 o'clock she began her lecture at Carnee-ie Hall '"The Hatchet Is Mightier Than the Law." Mrs. Nation's day was so full of inci dent that columns would be required to ten an she did and said. Wherever she appeared a crowd col lected and increased in numbers as long as sne remained in the neighborhood. Not for a moment was she disturbed. She maintained the utmost good humor, and the larger and more voci ferous the crowds became the more she laughed and displayed the pleasure she felt in the sensation she was causing. Even when the police took her in charge she laughed good naturedly and readily agreed to accompany them to the station houee. This incident occurred on Eighth ave nue, near Twenty-sixth street. Some one had told Mrs. Nation there were several concert halls in the vicinity, and she insisted upon seeing them. She reached Eighth avenue on a Thirty-fourth street car from Broad way, and walked southward. At first no one noticed her, but when she tried to enter two or three saloons she was recognized and the crowd be gan to collect. By the time Mrs. Nation reached Twenty-seventh street several thousand persons had assembled and formed a pushing, howling, jeering mob. She tried to enter a concert hall known as the Abbey, but the proprie tors, seeing her approach and tile large crowd which escorted her. locked their doors. She made her way through a side door into a narrow hallway, but could get no further. "This place is closed," said a man who appeared to be the proprietor. "It will be open tomorrow." "I am glad to hear it," said Mrs. Nation, beaming upon him through her spectacles and shaking hands with him cordially, much to his astonishment. "Don't you do anything to desecrate the Lord's day." When she returned to the street the crowd had become so dense it was al most impossible to get through. Those who accompanied the crusader struggled and wrestled with the mass of humanity, trying to open a way for her. She laughed and talked to thos about her. Suddenly she was pushed from be hind and rushed into the middle of the avenue by a phalanx of young ruffians who thought their exploit humorous. "Now- some one is turning rowdy,"" said Mrs. Nation still laughing. The crowd roared and cheered. At this juncture the police arrived. Two of them cleared a space about Mrs. Nation, and the third placed her under arrest. "What are you making this disturb ance for?" asked the policeman. "I am not making it." said Mrs. Na tion, "the people are making it." It was with some difficulty the po'.ice were persuaded that Mrs. Nation was really trying- to get on a car to return to her hotel. After consultation they agreed to re lease her if she would get on a street car. This arrangement was effected by Mrs. Nation's escort. She was herself indifferent, and said she had been ar rested so often she did not mind it. She began her work of c orrection im mediately upon her arrival at the Vic toria hotel. Near the ladies" entrance she discov ered an undraped figure of Diana upon a pedestal. Hastening into the office she electrified the startled clerk with the statement that there was a young woman in the parlor with no clothes on. She was finally persuaded that the figure would be dratted as soon as suit able drapery could be obtained. "I'll have some clothes for her my self tomorrow," she said, nodding her head emphatically. Mrs. Nation went to St. Patrick's ca thedral because she likes the Catholic church and has a leaning toward the Salvation Army. She was more impressed with the pic tures than with the services. "I never saw a picture of a martyr 1 on a gridiron with the flames coming up around him before," she said, with much awe. From the cathedral Mrs. Nation started to invade the Democratic club. She said she would like to talk to some of the people there. At the door an attendant barred her progress. "The club does not receive today," he said. "I don't care if he don't," said Mrs. Nation. "Itn coming in." She was induced to change her mind, however, much to the relief of the club employes and the members who had gathered to see what the strange and persistent woman wanted. Mrs. Nation then headed for Sixth av enue. At the corner of Fiftieth street she saw an open side door and darted through it before any one was aware of her intention. "Well! Well:" she exclaimed as she entered the barroom. "You never let these criminal factories close up, do you?" Then she addressed several men who were seated at tables, exhorting them not to drink. Meanwhile a crowd had pushed its way into the place, and the barkeeper and proprietor were both angry and ex cited. "There you go!" cried Mrs. Nation, "cursing and swearing when you ought to be asking God's blessing." It was intimated that she should at tend to her own business. Promptly she seized a bottle and raised it as if to hurl it at the mirror behind the bar. "That is my business," she said, "smashing these drink factories." Then she laughed. "Now you want me to go out, don't you?" she cried. "Well, I am going. I am not here to smash anything just yet. I am here to lecture, but I want to see just how things are run in this great city." During her expedition in the after noon she entered several saloons on Sixth avenue between Twenty-fifth and Thirty-fifth streets. In each she talked with the crowd and was herself so good natured that the bar-keepers, while inclined to resent her intrusion, laughed with her before she got through. When she walked up Broadway sev eral hundred persons followed her. Her pet aversion is a cigarette, and whenever she saw a man or a boy smoking one she would call to him to thro,- it away. At Madison square an itinerant clergyman was addressing a crowd on the saloon evil. Mrs. Nation espied him and insisted upon joining the gathering. The preacher paid no attention to her, whereupon she withdrew, evidently dis appointed. TO SPEAK AT CONEY. Mrs. Nation's lecture at Carnegie hall was to a small audience. She talked for an hour and a half against the use of liquor and tobacco. When she got through an old man with white whiskers tried to advocate the use of an anti-liquor food he had invented, but the audience would not listen and laughed him off the stage. Mrs. Nation was cheered by the crowd when she left the hall. She witf lecture at Coney Island for a week beginning this afternoon. BAN DA KOSSA SALE OPENS. It Is Started Today at Four Different Placea- There will be "something doing" from now on in the preparations for the Banda Rossa season in the Auditorium September 19, 2o and 21. This morning the sale of season tickets was star;el in four different places in town and and there was an encouraging demand. These tickets can be bought any time up to next Wednesday. Next Wednes day and Thursday they can be ex changed for reserved seats, two days in advance of the opening of the chart to those not holding season tickets. The interest already indicates ti ere are many who wish to make sure of good seats for the three night conceits. The management received a rather humorous letter from Will A. Wh te, editor of the Emporia Gazette, this morning. Mr. White ended up with: "Whatever you want to go, write and I will see that it goes, but I will bet $1 that I would forget to write anything that you would tell me to." The author and editor says he is a busy man just now. WHEAT GOES NORTH. Northwestern Millers Scramble For Kansas Product. Kansas wheat is being shipped straight to northwestern milling centers as fast as the congested condition of the railways can take it there. State Grain Inspector B. S. Northrup, while in Topeka last night, spoke of the ex cellence and high quality of this year's Kansas wheat crop, and said: "Some of it runs as high as 64 pounds to the bushel. Oklahoma makes some absurd claims of shipping 67 pound wheat, but I never saw any of it that wrould test that high. I have never seen wmeat that will grade higher than the Kan sas product of this harvest. "Kansas wheat is going northwest in immense quantities. The Maple Leaf has its enormous equipment just about entirely in use in carrying Kansas wheat to Minneapolis. The road is lined with double header trains all along the route loaded with wheat. The Maple Leaf's yard in JCansas City is so filled with Kansas w heat waiting to be ship ped out to Minneapolis, where it is so much in demand, that it amounts to al most a veritable blockade." FIREMEN WERE SURPRISED In Midst of a Banquet They Are Twice Called to a Fire. A delegation from Capital lodge No. 7, and lodge No. 26 of the A. O. U. W. Degree of Honor surprised the firemen at headquarters last night and were in turn surprised by the firemen all leav ing the station in a body. The surprise was a surprise and so was the alarm for the tire at WcEi tire's mattress factory. When the fire men returned from the tire wet. dirty and hungry, they found that the sur prising party had arranged the eata bles in their absence. The firemen were about cleaned up ready to begin on the refreshments with a will when they again left in a body for th? Douthitt cider mill fire. When they re turned they stayed with the good things until they were all gone and no more alarms came in. HUGHES MAY SUE. Says Some One Collected $36 Which Belongs to City. Mayor Hughes says that the city may commence a suit to recover $36 which it is claimed has been collected illegally from the keeper of a lunch counter by a man named Marsh, the proprietor of a wagon yard on Quincy street between Sixth and Seventh. It is alleged that Marsh made the lunch counter owner pay him 10 cents a day for the privilege of running a stand in the parking in front of the wagon yard. Altogether, the lunch counter man says he has paid $36. Mayor Hughes asserts that the city has exclusive control of the park, and that Mr. Marsh had no right to lease it to anyone. $21.35 Cleveland and Return via Bock Is land Route. No change of cars.

Cases Which Will Require Judge Hazen's Attention. Petty Charges Will Be Disposed of Next Week. ONLY ONE LIQUOR CASE It Is Sandwiched Between As saults and Hold Ups. There Are Twenty Criminal Cases to Be Disposed Of. The docket of Jury cases in the dis trict court for next week contains 20 state cases. Of that number there la one for selling liquor. "Speed" Rains will have to answer to that charge. On Monday Sherman Joy, who was a cook at the Oxford hotel will ask the court to enquire Into the habits of Syl vian Kline and to discover why Kline turned the restaurant into a bull pen and played matodore last spring with Joy for the bull. There was no joy in Joy's existence at the time except in name. During his rampage in the rest aurant Kline gave an illustration of that old minstrel joke, "an upsetting of Greece, the overthrow of Turkey and the breaking up of China." On the same day for notorious Mary Wade, colored and all round crookess, will have to ex plain why she took S9.S0 of lawful money of the United States from the person of Joseph Ackney against his will and wishes. Callie Mitchell had trouble with his wife and she sued for divorce. He saw her talking to Henry Murray and the flame that had smouldered within his breast burst into a fierce strong blaze. The blaze could not be squelched until he had called Murray into Ed Timon's joint and pounded his face. Murray will have the last inning by prosacuting Mitchell before Judge Hazen. The first day of the criminal docket will close with Irvin Bradshaw being tried for pounding up Policeman Hutton when Hutton had his fingers crossed. On Tuesday A. W. Sovereign will an swer to the charge of kidnaping Bessie Rooke. He did not demand blood mon ey from Papa and llama Rookey but he must stand trial just the same as the kidnapers in the Cudahy case would if they would only be caught. Then "Speed" Rains, a very fast young man, will tell why he sold liquor. On Wednesday A. J. F Janes, who spells his name different than Jones does, will have to make ex cuses for assaulting Burge Lees. They bad a quarrel over a fence but did not kesp the barrier between them and Sio the charge of assault was made. William Dupree, of the famous Du pree family will have to explain one of his thousand battles. Simon Jones will have a like story to tell and H. W. Sim mons will answer to the charge of sell ing J. C. Burford a poor piece of pro perty in the short grass country when Burford expected to get a Garden of Eden. Both are white haired men. On Thursday Ella Buckner and Dave Lewis, denizens of Redmondville, will answer to the charge of separating C. A. Barnes from $20 when Barnes really wanted it for his own use. Weitman and Wreitman, brothers by the first names of Thomas and Frank, will have to answer to the charge of disturbing the peace of William Woolfork. The brothers leased a piece of property from Woolfork to use as the headquarters for a cider mill.

Correspondent Christie Grain and Stock Co., Kansas City, Mo.J New York, Sept. 4. An advance of 5 per cent, in a comparative low-priced stock, and in the face of a declining mar ket, is at least a very unusual event. One half of vesterdav's gain in Denver Rio Grande common stock was made in the last two minutes of trading. The price was bid up by "S Boston house which had sold 50,000 shares in the first hour, when London was a buyer of the stuck to the extent of about 15.000 shares. Some explanation is to be sought for the ad vance besides the attempt to cover at the close. In default of an authoritative explanation, the speculative community inclines to the belief that the property is to be merged into the Missouri Pacific, and that the terms will be two shares for one. That parity has now been reached lacking about 24 cents, which is a verv fair amount to represent the ele ment of reasonable doubt. Current rumors of an exchange of Denver Rio Grande preferred, share for share, are not plaus ible. The difference in price is still 2'4 cents. Moreover, the status of th. -curity becomes very flifferent if there is lo be an exchange of common stock. The preferred would then become a sort of under-lien, as full 0 per cent, would be called for in perpetuity if the Aiissonri Pacific were to profit at all from the ab sorption. Examination of the stock list shows only a few other advances, but in each ca-se there is a decided suggest iveness either from the ownership of the property or evident hope of ownership. Kansas ffty Southern stock, which ha been freely dealt in during recent months at least, became stiddemv stronar. on broker bought abn'H 25.0Xi alinrta of Mexican National, fis well known that something if going on Invorvinif closer alliances) at least between the principal railroads of Mexico.

The decline caused by the bad bank statement and th higher rate fe.r cil! money hii s about run its course, and while the opening u likely to be somewhiU uncertain in ton and prices may sell off in n moderate way, there is no reason to anticipate anv selling of long stock, and we look fur improvement before the clos1. Broker assert that no money strin'moy is to be feared, and that gold imports are probable during the current month. The steel strike is practically over, and crop damasra has been diseounU'd. Stocks are in strong hands, and there is no war rant for expectation of tiny decline of more than a temporary character. You will do well to buy stocks on any rec-n-sions and to hold them for good protits. especially St. Paul. I nion Pat ittc. South ern Pacific, the Coalers, People's Gas, and the Tractions. Don't worry if prices do not go right up. Hold your stocks and you will re alize handsome profits. J. ARTHUR JOSEPH. New York Stocks. New York. Sept. 4. Very few orders were executed when the stock maik"t opened and the resulting price chantte? were small and mixed. Chicago Great Western rose nearly a point. Denver .fc Rio Grande reacted 1 from yesterday's strength, and Wheeling Lake Erie sec ond preferred was 01Y a point. Efforts to market the stocks disclosed but a small demand and prices had to bu scaled down. The b-ars attacked St. Paul. Union Pacific and Missouri Pacific, which were the most vulnerable points yesterday. Declines averaged about :t point for these leaders, ajid Denver Ac Rio Grande preferred lost 21-.. Prices were somewhat better at 11 o'clock, but speculation was almost stagnant. Aggressive bidding up of the independ ent sted stocks attracted attention. Colorado Fuel ran up 4"'4 and Tennessee Coal 2-?s. United States Steel rallied a point. Some of the railways and indus trials showed good improvement, espe cially Atchison. Kansas VC- Texas common and preferred. Erie second preferred, and Sugar. Railways in general returned to last night's prices or above, and Rio Grande preferred rallied 2 points. Bonds were weak. The undertone of the market continued firm in spite of extreme dullness. Rock Island and International Paper rose a point and Chicago Great Western pre ferred Pj, while Colorado Southern first preferred lost a point. Blocks of from l.'Mi to 3. 0"K shares of Mexican National were absorbed, carrying it up lv. There were gains of 1 to l'- in New York. Chicago At St. Louis, Nor folk Western, Wisconsin Central. Chi cago Great Western, leather preferr-d, Baltimore Ohio, American Linseed pre ferred, and People's Gas. Some develop ments in connection with a union cf Mexican railways are expected owing to the accumulation of Mexican Central. The advance continued, the latter move ment showing a resistance which hung back early. A list of prominent stoelM rose 1 to 2 points over yesterd-ty. Roek Island gained 4Vj, Delaware Hudson 2'a and Canadian Pacific 2:1g. There were yielding spots in the final dealings, and the closing was "slightly irregular. Market Gossin. Furnished by A. G.

TO HELP IN TWO CASES In Waterworks Suit lie Will Get $2,250. Must Be Content With .$1,000 In tbe lias Litigation. G. C. Clemens Makes a State ment About His Services. J. T. McFarland lias been employed by the city to work in the waterworks condemnation case, and the dollar gas suit. In the former suit he will receive ti'.JT.O for his services, and in the latter Sl.oOo. The question of an assistant for Mr. Spencer was discussed in an executive session of the council last night, and the only name which was formally pre sented to the consideration of the coun cil was that of Mr. McFarland. W. A. S. Bird, ex-city attorney, who had been talked of, was not suggested. Judge Horton was out of the race because it was generally understood that he would not serve for less than $5,000. This was more than tile council wanted to pay. Mr. McFarland's fees will be divided into two parts. For prosecuting- the waterworks case in the lower court, he will get $1,500. If the case Is taken to the supreme court, he will get$.."i" more. In tile gas case he will receive $5u0 lor his services in the lovver court, anil $5O0 more if an appeal is taken to the United Slates supreme court. There was no opposition to the plan of hiring Mr. McFarland. though some of the councilmen wanted to delay the matter and get some other attorney. "1 don't object to paying the price," said one member of the council. "I think we want the best we can get. Hut T wish the council had looked a lit tle further before closing a contract with anyone." City Attorney Spencer made a speech to the council at the opening- of the executive session, in which he told of the large number of important cases which come under his chare.;. He said that if the council would give him help in the waterworks case and the gas case, he believed he could handle the res t. The city has allowed Mr. Clemens ami Mr. McFarland $100 each for the services they rendered in getting the waterworks proceedings under way. This, with the amount which will be expended on extra assistants and reg ular employes, will make the total cost of the legal department for this year $5.67. CLEMENS MAKES STATEMENT. C. U. Clemens is indignant because of an effort to make it appear that he was a candidate for the job of helping City Attorney Spencer in the water- works litigation. He says he would not have accepted such employment under any consideration, and states that on Monday next the waterworks company comes into possession of a new fran chise by the mere operation of the law. Mr. Clemens says in a communication to the State Journal: "For some reason, the Capital, in two uccessive issues, has seemed desirous of making it plain that Judge McFar land was- the city attorney's choice as counsel m the waterworks case. Inas much as the public understood that heretofore Judge McFarland and my self had both been employed in the case, This iteration that 'Judge McFarland was Mr. Spencer's choice,' might carry the impression that I have been beauti fully snubbed, and. not to put too fine a point upon it, have been turned down. As this affects my professional stand ing. I wish to say that It takes two to make a bargain; and that I could not have accepted employment in the water works ase to proceed on the plan that is to be pursued. I was employed to give an opinion. I gave it, and still be-iit-ve in it. The council having failed to f.'iioiv my opinion, it is now my opin ion that the city has lost the water works, and that the company, begin ning tixt Monday, will have a ten years' extension by mere operation of law. My contract required me to assist in the preparation of the papers to car ry out whatever plan the council might adopt, and I think the city attorney will bear me witness that, despite my own views w hich I did not cease to express, T did my work conscientiously and help ed materially to put the best fot fore most in the course to be pursued. "Rut it would have been rather remarkable had Mr. Spencer, knowing me as he does, even propesed me as, counsel in proceedings in -w htch I do not believe. I take sunie pride in it that bar and judges alike know- that I cannot urge what I d: not believe, and that I am net mereiy a poor lawyer, tint no lawyer at ali, in a case I do not believe in. Alwve all. I arn trying my best to turn the h.-ad of the city administration out of otiice and put Mr. Parker In. It won'd have been strange indeed had I been the a Jminis rat ion's choice for a Job.

Arrangements have been made by the county clerk and county treasurer to keep a special ant of books for redemp tions of property bought in by the county at delinquent tax sale. By keep ing such a set of books, it will be possi ble to pay over to the various funds of the city the proportion due as soon as the property is redeemed, instead of waiting as at present for the annual settlement between thecounty treasurer and county clerk. Jt is believed that this new arrange ment will largely obviate the trouble which has been brewing between the city and county over the payment of delinquent taxes. P. I. Bonebrake and Edwrard Wrilder, representing the board of education called upon the county commissioners recently, and investigated the claims which the board has on the delinquent tax fund. They found that there is not a very large amount due, and that whatever is due will be paid on October 1, when the annual settlement occurs. Mr. Bonebrake, however, is not an ad vocate of the present system of han dling the delinquent tax business. He said today: "The law permitting the county to buy m property was passed by a Pop ulist legislature in 1891. it is a bad law- It was never enforced in this county till a year or two ago. I tried to per suade the county commissioners to abandon the plan, but Scott Kelsey seems to think it is alt right. The ef- feet of the law may be to reduce the county resources till the county is obliged to pay interest on its warrants. This has happened in several counties. If the property is sold to private pur chasers, the money comes at once into the county treasury, and is diverted in to the prop"!" channels." The board of education will not take any action against the county commis sioners, but will simply await the dis tribution of the funds on hand on Oc tober 1. IT WASN'T K1CHAKDS0N. Some One Else That Talked Imperti nently to Lady at it. K. Crossing. Sol Richardson, w-ho was In charge of tlie switch engine which kept the Fifteenth street crossing blocked Mon day night for half an hour, has the following- to say about the occurrence: "The lady came up and asked to know how long she was to be kept wait ing, and I replied no longer than is necessary for us to remain here." Mr. Richardson says he is a gentle man and has more manhood than to talk to any lady in such a manner. Mr. Richardson's statement, so far as he is concerned, is undoubtedly true, but he is mistaken in the statement that, no abusive language was used, for when the woman asked the trainmen to a'.:ow her to pass the reply she received was, "Well, do you think that we are going to be here the whole night."

Tokohama, Aug. 21, via Victoria, B. C. Sept. 4. To say that a hornefs nest has been stirred up in Japan would but mild ly express the news of the alleged out rageous treatment of Japanese ladies on the Xippon Maru by the quarantine offi cers of Hawaii. Xothing in the course of all the relations "between America and Japan has aroused so much press indig nation or such strong popular feeling. Whatever else this nation n.ay be. it is an eminently self-res.iecting nation, and the encomiums recently passed upon it by western pf-oples have actuated the feeling to an extraordinary degree The latest expressed contracts between the moral conditions between the W -Ft and East have also received a strong fillip because of the occurrence, which will make the task of western missionaries and moral ists harder than ever. In fact, the in fluence of Occidental morality has. be cause of it. reached a very low ebb. That which cuts the deepest is the discrimina tion which was made between foreifl" l:ulics and the Japanese, and the inci d"rit thus shows clearly what difficulties are before the American government should this peoole be discriminated against in the framing of immigration laws. Any such measure would also de stroy the extraordinarily friendl v relations which hate always existed between th two governments. One of the leading Tokio papers points out how jealously western powers guard their nag and their national reputation against every indignity or iniustice. It cites the action of Kngland In the affairs of the Lorcha Arrow and of iJon Pa cihco. and while not insisting that Lord I'almerston's procedure should be taken as a model of foreign political methods, it does hold that Japan lacks self-assert-iveness and that she migjit win a larger measure of respect if she insisted on re ceiving it. The postponement of the return of the Chinese court to Pekin until October on account of the prevailing heat, is per fectly understood here and recognized as a part of the programme of delav which will ultimately end either in the reten tion of the present stopuing place, or the choice of some otTier interior ity as the capital of the empire. That the court will ev.-r return to Pekin while that city is completely under the domination of for eign troops is not reckoned with favor among the possibilities. In the meantime the growing inriuence of Japan over the Chinese government is videnced bv the appointment of a Japanese officer to or ganize the police force of Pekin. and by the acceptance of the recommendation of Yuan fchlkai that the Chinese armv be modeled upon that of Jaoan. Mn.ior General Fukushima has started for Shanghai, and it is renorted that this Is preliminary to the dispatch to that place of a battalion of Japanese troops, so that the nation may range itself along side of Kugland and Germany in anv de velopments which may occur In the valley of the Yanirtse. The roshisha college of Kyoto, in which many Americans are interested, has been in very serious trouble ever since the for eign management was withdrawn, and re cently disturbances there have culminated in the resignation of its president. Its a fairs are rapidly going from bad to worse. OFF FOR THE FAIR. Members of too Diplomatic Corps Leave For Buffalo. Washington, Sept. i.

The court finally told Mr. Hungate that he could try Jean Hastings, Ed Timon, Watson and Ray nor Monday. This was allowing Mr. Hungate a very small per cent of the IS cases 011 his private ledger. After disposing of the controversy, the court proceeded to go after "Sing" Mitchell, who pleaded not guilty of as sault and being drunk. Mitchell still insisted that he was not drunk, and didn't remember of slapping his better half and also his maternal ancestor. The women stated that the son and husband had prevaricated in his state ment. The prisoner interposed with the further information that the "old lady" had drawn a gun on him.

Queer Actions of Miss Maria Joseph ine Eastwick. New York, Sept. 4. E. P. Eastwick, Jr., president of the Eastwick Engi neering company of this city, in an in terview explained the condition of his sister, Miss Maria Josephine Eastwick, now under arrest in London on a charge of forgery involving $500,000. Mr. East wick said: "My sister suffered from typhoid fe ver about four years ago and while at no time was her life in danger, her ill ness was a protacted one with peculiar effects on her mental powers. As soon as she was able to be out she showed an abnormal desire for outdoor exerciso, especially horseback riding and driving. Always a good horsewoman, she was encouraged in the hope that the recrea tion would benefit her, but she carried it to such an extreme that finally she had to be restrained. "She was induced to enter a sanitar ium near Philadelphia, but after a stay of several months she showed little im provement, and she was removed to an other retreat in Connecticut, where one of the most eminent specialists of the country could watch her. When she was released from there, we were as sured that, though she would continue to have vagaries which might annoy us, she was harmless. Soon after that my father took her to Europe and ha3 been with her almost constantly." Mr. Eastwick denied that his father and sister ever had become estranged. She did leave her home Eeveral times, but always he said, with the full con sent of her father, and almost always to visit relatives. m YELLOW INK Is Written Letter to Kaiser Head by Prince Chun.
