rf vvC, ,ii H. I I LAST EDITION. FRIDAY EVENING. TOPEKA, KANSAS. SEPTEMBER 6, 1901. FRIDAY EVENING. TWO CENTS. Ttf ft IT iirt y 7 f iTiM Jlf M UyltfjLit Body of Miss Eolah Hounsom Found in Burning House. Skull Had Been Crushed by a Heavy Blow. HOUSE THEN FIRED. Assassin Hoped to Destroy Evi dence of Crime. Whole Place in Flames When Neighbors Came. BODY WAS IN BED. Had JBeen Carefully Covered With Cloth ius;. Woman Left Her Money With Neighbor on Day Before. Nature of Wound Frecludes the Suicide Theory. The charred and unrecognizable re mains of Miss Eolah Hounsom, with the skull fractured, were found in the runins of her home at 132 North Klein street -which was completely destroyed by a mysterious fire at an early hour this morning. She had been murdered and the house had been set on fire. Miss Hounsom lived alone in the house and all the circumstances .sur rounding' her death point to foul play. She had undoubtedly been murdered and the house set on fire by her assail ants in hopes of cremating" the body and destroying ail trace of the bloody work. The entire left side of the woman's skull is factured. The fracture could not have been caused by the falling timbers for the wound is too pro nounced. The body was found by the firemen in the ruins of the bed and covered with several pieces of heavy led clothing which enveloped her head and entire body. It is likely that the woman's skull was crushed by a weapon in the hands of some one who, after felling his victim, dragged the body to the bed, covered it up and set fire to the house. The entire inside of the house was1 a roaring furnace cf flames when the fire MISS KOLAH HOUNSOM, The Murdered Woman, from a Photo graph Found in the Ruins. was discovered. The three rooms of the house were all burning with equal fierceness which would indicate that the house was set on fire in several places. The fact that Miss Hounsom's body was found in the bed and heavily covered with bed clothing leaves little doubt of a foul murder. Miss Hounsom would have" been awakened by the Barnes, had she been alive.when the fire started, and would have been able to at least crawl from the bed to another part of the house before she was suffocated. WINDOWS NEAR BED. The bed occupied by Miss Hounsom was in the northeast corner of the house in a small bedroom. There was a window on the east side of the house and another on the north. The bed was In the corner between the two windows and a person could by cwarling not more than three feet, have escaped from the house by eitiwr window. The house was a one story frame building and it was but a step from the window sills to the ground. Dr.- H. B. Hogeboom. the countv cor oner, made an investigation of the mysterious death this morning and ex amined the body. "I found the left side of the skull completely crushed." said lr. Hogeboom. "The fracture was caused by a heavy blow on the left side of the skull near the templar bone. The fracture is severe and was caused by an exceedingly heavy blow. The tim-, tiers of the roof of the house could not have caused it for the building wa small and the timbers iight and such a fracture could not have been caused by falling timber. The woman had been lying on her side when the blow was Urutlt and when found she was on her back. I don't believe that the fracture was caused by falling timbers." By the time the parts of the roof of the house and the walls fell the fire had been burning so fiercely that Miss Hounsom would have been dead some time and could not have changed her position in the bed from lying on her right side to a position flat on her back. The bed clothing was so heavy that it undoubtedly held her in the same posi tion when the bed was burned away and her body and the mattress, which was but partly burned, and the bed eloihing slipped to the floor. The night was not particularly cool and it does not seem that the woman would have had so much clothing over her unless she had been foully dealt with and the bed clothing heaped upon her by those who placed her body in the bed. rol'LD NOT HAVE BEEN SUICIDE. Miss Hounsom could not have com mitted suicide though there are circum stances that point to that theory. Thursday afternoon Miss Hounsom look $i0 and some trinkets to Mrs. H. C od linger, at 307 Lime street, and asked her to keep them for her. as she said she was about to move and might lose them. Miss Hounsom and Mrs. Odtinger have been close friends for several years. Miss Hounsom also gave her a letter and two cents in money. The letter was addressed to Miss Niota Hounsom, Gienwood, Missouri, Schuy ler county. The letter was to a sister of t-e dead woman. She asked Mrs. Odtinger to take the letter and with the two pennies to buy a postage stamp and mail it for her in the morning as she did not expect to see the postman. The letter was closely written in pencil on both sides of two sheets of common letter paper. The envelope was un sealed. The letter was cheerful and gave all the news of the mutual friends of the sisters. In the letter Miss Houn som explained that the house she lived in had been sold and that she was look ing for a new place to live, but there was no hint of suicide. The house where Miss Hounsom lived was among those bought by the Com mercial club to make room for the new Santa Fe shops. With the exception of a Russian family living in a house at' the rear of the same lot Miss Hounsom had no neighbors as the rest of the houses had been vacated and were be ing moved away. In the letter to her sister Miss Hounsom explained that she wanted to secure a place where there was a barn so she could keep her cow. The sale of milk was her only means of making a living except doing some light' sewing. She said in the letter that her brother, Elmer E. Hounsom, who owns several houses in that part of town, had offered her a house. She said that there was no barn on the place and that she had rented the house house and given a receipt for the rent she had received and that with the rent she expected to hire a house that had a barn with it. She said that her brother had objected to that arrange ment and had told the people occupy ing the house to pay him the rent. They told him that they had paid Miss Hounsom. The brother said that he owned the house and that they must move out. Miss Hounsom explained in the letter that she did not know where she would go. QUEER MESSAGES LEFT. Besides the $60 in money which Miss Hounsom left with Mrs. Odtinger was a box containing some writing paper. half a dozen silver spoons, a necklace and locket, three inexpensive breast pins, two rings, and some small trink ets. On the top of the box containing the money was pasted a little slip of paper which read as follows: "Sadie, the ring is yours." Written on the out side of an envelope in the other box was the following: "Amy, the money is yours. Don't let anybody have it. Send the other things to Niota if any thing should happen to me. I can trust you." This indicates that she might have anticipated death. Miss Hounsom had been in the habit of having her friends keep her money and trinkets for her. At times Mrs. Edward Dustin, 131 North Branner kept them. The note explaining what should be done with her money seems more like a crude will that had been made without any thought of commit ting suicide rather than the instruc tions written by a suicide on the eve of a premeditated deed. If Miss Houn som was murdered the deed may have been prompted by the knowledge that she had some money in her posses sion. Frank Dyche. a colored laborer who has been working. with the men mov ing the houses, left his ax on the porch, inside the screen door of Miss Houn som s home Thursday at the close of his day's work. He saw her later and told her he would call for the ax in the morning. She said it would be all right at her home. The most tangible clue toward the suicide theory is that last evening Miss Hounsom took the ax to a neighbor's and left it with instruc tions that it be given to Dyche If she was not at home when he came in the morning. NEIGHBORS WERE NOT AROUSED. The house at the rear of Miss Houn som's place is occupied by a Russian named Daniel Ferlig, who is employed at the Wolff packing house. The house occupied by Ferlig was east of that oc cupied by Miss Hounsom. There is no door nor window on the west side of the Ferlig home, which is the side toward the house that was occupied by Miss Hounsom. Mrs. Ferlig. who can speak only in Russian said, this morning that she nor her husband had any knowledge of the fire until they were awakened by the people who discovered the fire. When they were awakened the house was an entire mass of flames. Mrs. Ferlig said that Miss Hounsom had no gasoline stove. Several people passed the house late last night. Miss Houn som must have been in bed as there was no light burning. Miss Hounsom's house had been plac ed on skids yesterday afternoon by the house movers employed by H. G.Tandy. Miss Hounsom was told by Tandy and his workmen yesterday that the house would be moved soon, today perhaps, and that she would have to find another place to live. She seemed somewhat excited and said that while her brother owned several houses that he had not given her a suitable one to live in and that she would not move out until she had a place to go to. ALARM OF FIRE AT 2:13. The alarm of fire was turned in from box 121 at 2:13 o'clock this morning and when the firemen reached the house it was in ruins except for a few upright pieces, which were nearly burned away, but were still standing. All the fire men could do was to wet down the ruins. Some of the neighbors thought that Miss Hounsom might be in the building as she had not been seen. The firemen made a search in the ruins and found the body in the debris of a bed in the rear room. The discovery was made by Captain John Rhodes of sta tion No. 3. The body was covered with several pieces of bed clothing. The bed clothing was so wet and heavy that Rhodes could not remove it from the body alone and he called several fire men to his assistance. When found the body was lying at full length. The left leg below the knee was entirely burned away, the arms were in a cramped position. The body was burned beyond recognition. Miss Hounsom was the sister of Elmer E. Hounsom, a painter, who lives at the corner of Chandler and Greeley streets. Mr. Hounsom lived with his sister until a year ago when he was married and moved into another house two blocks away. Mrs. Odtinger said this morning that She had known Miss Hounsom for sev eral years, and used to live in the same house with her. "Miss Hounsom came here yesterday afternoon and brought the money and things for me to keep. She said she would have to find an other house to live in, and that she was afraid that in moving the money and small things might be lost. She wanted me to keep them for her for a few days. She seemed as cheerful as usual, and there was nothing in what she said or did not indicate that she contemplated suicide. She told me that she was look- 1 D .Serf fe7 Sr. Plan of the Hounsom House Showing Lo cation of the Bed in Which the Body Was Found. ing for a house where there was a barn, so she could keep her cow. She said that the house her brother offered her had no barn, and that it was too far away from the customers she fur nished with milk. Miss Hounsom seemed in good spirits but said she wa3 sorry to move away from the house where she had lived so long." CHIEF WILMARTH TALKS. Chief Wilmarth said today: "The cir cumstances are most suspicious. It is rare to find a body in bed in a burning house. The person even if he is suf focated usually is found in another part of the house where he was trying to get out. The fact that the body of Miss Hounsom was in bed is a suspicious cir cumstance in itself." HEAT WAS INTENSE. Otto, Max and Louis Rahn. who live on Klein street, a block from the house oc cupied by Miss Hounsom, were awakened by their mother, who saw the fire. Max Rahn turned in an alarm for the Santa Fe fire department. Otto ran to the house. "When I reached there." said Otto, "there were three or four other people there. That was five minutes or so be fore I heard the fire bell ring. We tried to get into the house through one of the windows near the bed, but the fire was so intense that we were driven back." Captain John Rhodes, who found the body, said: "Some one said that the wo man who lived In the house had not been seen and that she mierht have been burned. We hunted for the body in the smoke and ruins. I found It covered with the bed clothes. I tried to pull the clothes oft, but they were so heavy that J could not. and I had to call for assistance. The body was lying at full length, except that one lear ana the arms were drawn ur. The police have done nothing on the case CABINET-TO MEET Members Will Join the Presi dent in Cleveland To Discuss the Conditions in South America. Washington, Sept. 6. Some import ant issues have grown- out of the trouble in Colombia which are likely to require the attention of the presi dent and his cabinet, and it was stated today that a cabinet meeting may be held within a week, possibly at Cleve land, where the president is going to attend the Grand Army encampment. Owing to the increasing complications along the isthmus of .Panama, it has become desirable to determine the ex act duties and responsibilities of the United States. This has presented the issue whether our treaty with Colombia makes the United States a guarantor of Colombia's sovereignty over the en tire isthmus, some 400 miles from end to end, or confines our guaranty to free transit across that particular point on the isthmus where railway and other traffic is usually carried on. The dis tinction is an important one as to ter ritory covered by the guarantee of our treaty and whether warships are likely to go to points outside of Panama and Colon, the termini of the usual route.

ADDS TO DISGRACE Member of the Police Relets Place For Yera Knowles. Plato Residence Wras Rented to Sergeant Henry Carpenter. MRS. PLATO AROUSED. Says She Hid Not Rent Her Place For Road House. People in Neighborhood Organ ize a Vigilance Committee. The police force of Topeka should be fumigated. Chief Stahl's adviser and the man who is in charge when he is absent is Sergeant Henry Carpenter. Carpenter's record since he has been on the police force has been most un savory, and it has culminated by. his renting the Plato place north of To peka for the notorious Vera Knowles. Here is a record of Carpenter's dis graceful acts since his connection with the Topeka police force, all of which was published in the State Journal: Arrested for embezzling $300 from a poor widow. Dismissed by Carpenter paying back the money. Has a disgraceful fight with the driver of a beer wagon, the quarrel having started in a disorderly house. WThips Vera Knowles in her resort because of a real or fancied wrong. Rents the Plato residence for the use of Vera Knowles as a road house. All these things, except perhaps the last, have been known to Chief Stahl, Mayor Hughes and the police commit tee, which is composed of such excel lent gentlemen as James A. Troutman, S. C. Miller and S. A. Swendson. They have, all been recounted in the State Journal in the order in which they oc curred. But these men who have the control of the Topeka police have not moved a hand to change the conditions. They have allowed Carpenter to hold the im portant position of first sergeant of the police force, knowing all about his rec ord. It is next to criminal, and Chief Stahl, Mayor Hughes and the police committee are responsible. S. M. Hall was removed with reluct ance, after he had killed an inoffensive old man and had beaten another, but he is still doing special work. CARPENTER'S LATEST. It was announced in the State Jour nal last Wednesday that the large Plato residence, on Central, avenue in North Topeka, had been rented by Vera Knowles, and that she was busily en gaged in moving her furniture from her present disorderly house at 307 Kansas avenue to the new location. Vera Knowles secured possession of the Plato mansion under false pretenses according to the owner. The house was rented to Mr. Henry Carpenter, police sergeant, who represented to Mrs. L. Plato, the owner, that he wanted the building for a private residence. It now is clear that Mr. Carpenter was acting in behalf of his protege. Miss Vera Knowles. When Mrs. Plato read in the State Journal that her property was to be used by Vera Knowles for a disorderly house, it was the first information she had received in regard to the real pur pose of Mr. Carpenter in renting the property. She at once notified Mr. Car penter that she would not permit her premises to be used for improper pur poses. Carpenter had paid a month's rent in advance, but Mrs. Plato insist er that he get the Knowles woman out without delay, and this Carpenter prom ised to do on condition that his name not be made public. In spite of all the unsavory actions of Mr. Carpenter, Chief Stahl and Mayor Hughes, who claim to be exponents of a good and virtuous police administra tion, refuse to believe the evidence against him, and maintain him in his place as one of their ehiefest and most trusted officers. MRS. PLATO'S STATEMENT. Mrs. L. Plato, of whom Henry Car penter rented the house for Vera Knowles to use as a road house, sent the following statement of the case to the State Journal: Topeka, Kan., Sept. 5, 1901. To the Editor of the State Journal. In Wednesday evening's paper you had a statement that the Plato place on North Central avenue had been rented for a road hbuse to Vera Knowles, and in regard to the same I would like to say: That this house was rented to a gen tleman who paid the rent for the same and I supposed at all times that the gentleman renting the house was, going to occupy the same and It was only upon reading the article in your paper Wednesday evening that I learned who was moving into the house and the character of the party. I immediately gave notice to the gentleman that had rented the house that the property could not be used for any such purpose nor would I allow under any circumstances any one to occupy the house but respec table people and this gentleman has promised me that she will remove from the house immediately and I shall not under any circumstances whatever al low her or any one with like character to occupy this property. Hoping you will be kind enough to publish this statement so that the true state of affairs may be known, I am yours very truly, MRS. L. PLATO. Mrs. Plato refused to state who was the "gentleman" referred to in her let ter. She said she had promised not to reveal the name cf the man, but ad mitted that he is a member of the To peka police force. However, there's no mystery about it. The man was Ser geant Henry Carpenter of the Topeka police force. He undoubtedly had a right to rent the Plato residence for Vera Knowles if he wanted to but he ought not to hold more than one posi tion at once either he ought to resign from the police force or as manager for Vera Knowles. PEOPLE ARE EXCITED. Meanwhile the people in the neigh borhood of the Plato place are greatly wrought up over the affair. A vigilance committee has been organized and it is rumored that they are on the lookout i'KINLEY SHOT. Assassin Assaults Him in Tem- pie of Music. Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6. President McKinley has been shot twice in the stomach. It happened in the Temple of Music. His condition is serious. Two shots took effect in the stomach. He is now at the hospital in the Pan-American grounds. He was shot by a stranger. (Further particulars in lated eddi tionj. for Mr. Carpenter as well as his pro tege. CARPENTER DENIES IT. Sergeant Carpenter was asked this morning to state whether or not the story about his renting the Plato prop erty for Vera Knowles is true. "It is all a lie," said Mr. Carpenter with great emphasis. "There is not a word of truth in the story. I never rented a house for Vera Knowles." Mr. Carpenter appeared to be con siderably excited by the announcement that the story was to be printed, but beyond making an emphatic denial of the truth of it, he did not seem to be inclined to talk. FINAL CONFERENCE Strike Leaders Will Decide To day On What to Do. Pittsburg, Pa., Sept. 6. A conference of the executive committee of the Amalgamated association to consider what is believed to be the final pro posal of the United States Steel cor poration will be held here today. President Shaffer was early at the .headquarters, and at 10 o'clock seven of his assistants had reported. The conference will begin as soon as the other members of the board arrive. The Demmler tin plate works at Mc Keesport resumed operations at 8 o'clock this morning. Six mills out of 15 were started, with nearly 100 men, many of them being old employes. There was no disorder. The deputy sheriffs were on duty, but there was nothing for them to do, as only a few strikers were about the premises. Thirty-six men were taken into the works by boat from Duquesne, and 33 went through the gates. On account of the heavy fog the strikers' pickets who lined the river banks were unable to see the boat until the men had been landed. Manager Lauck stated that he had 54 men in the hot mill department, and by night he expects 100 men work ing, every one of them old employes. Two more mills, he said, would be started this afternoon. Five hundred more men were at work at the Na tional Tube company's plant at Mc Keesport this morning, making 1,000 men now in the plant. A large num ber of others applied for work but they were turned back because the mill was not in shape to take any more men on. There was no attempt made by the strikers to stop the men as they wrent in, and the management claim by next week the entire establishment will be in operation, and the strike to be a thing of the past. The situation at the plants at Pitts burg waa not gTeatly changed today. Twenty more men returned to the Pennsylvania tube works today, and over 200 men are now at work. A meeting of the former employes who are still out has been arranged for to morrow afternoon at Moorehead's hall, when Manager Latshaw will have a conference with the men. GRIMES AFTER NOONEY. State Honse Engineer Used Electricity Without Authority. In order to keep things marching in proper tune, State Treasurer Frank Grimes descended upon State House Engineer AINooney this morning. Since the state has begun war on Church and the executive council thrown over John Dudley, it is getting popular to keep the little fellows stirred up. Nooney's crime is that of using elec tric current from the wires run from the city plan into the treasurer's office. Lights must be kept burning in the state's money quarters all night and the state house plant shuts down at night, except during legislative sessions. Several months ago Grimes caught Nooney tapping his wires and running a lamp or two in the basement. Nooney promised never, never to do it again without getting Grimes' con sent. Last month workmen changing the wires in the basement for the new sys tem tapped Grimes' wire again so as to have light to see by to work. Nooney did not report the occurrence to Grimes. The light bill came in again higher than it ought to be according to the strict watch on this expense kept by the state treasurer. It was $4.50 and it ought to have been but $4.25. So this morning GrimesV summoned Nooney to his "strictly private" office and the conversation that followed was something like this: Grimes My electric light bill Is be yond all proportion again. Nooney (meekly) Yes sir. "Have you been tapping those wires again?" "Yes, sir. The men did it." "You didn't get authority from me as you promised." "I didn't know it till afterwards." "Why did you not come and tell me?" "I forgot it. I've been so busy." "Well, well, see that it doesn't hap pen again, sir. If one has to walk straight around here, so do all. You understand me, sir. Good morning, sir." New Kansas Postmasters. Washington, D. C Sept. 6. The fol lowing fourth class postmasters have been appointed for Kansas: L. F. Har ris. Neal, Greenwood county; M. E.

A METHODIST ROW Fiery Speeches Made in the Ecumenical Conference During a Discussion of the South African War. AMERICANS TAKE PART Debate Punctuated by Noisy In terruptions and Cheers. Quotation From McKinley's Speech Elicits Applause. London, Sept. 6. A stormy meeting of the Ecumenical Methodist conference resulted today from the reading by the Rev. C. W. Smith of Pittsburg, Pa., of a paper on "The Influence of Method ism in the Promotion of International Peace." The five minute rule was adopted and the pastors made fiery speeches for and against the war in South Africa. The campaign came in for a lot of criticism and finally the chairman ruled reference to it out of order. Many Americans took part in the discussions but none of the more prominent bishops spoke. The speeches were punctuated by frequent, noisy in terruptions and cheers and counter cheers. There was a scene of consider able disorder and the discussion ter minated without any conclusion being reached. The Rev. George Elliot of Detroit, saying he had often been called a little American, bitterly denounced the war. The Rev. R. J. Cook of Chattanooga defended the necessity of hostilities to vindicate a principle. The Rev. J. M. King of Philadelphia said the best solution of the question was in President McKinley's sentences, uttered at Buffalo, as follows: "The period of exclusiveness is past. The expansion of our trade and com merce is the pressing problem. Com mercial wars are unprofitable. A policy of good will and friendly trade rela tions will prevent reprisals. Reciproc ity treaties are in harmony with the spirit of the times. Measures of re taliation are not." The reading of President McKinley's remarks brought forth loud applause. Robert W. Perks, a member of parlia ment, a prominent contractor and vice president of the liberal imperial council, deprecated the usefulness of a clerical manifestos. He believed that some wars were necessary but the growing ten dency toward unnecessary strife was due greatly to the influence of corrupt, unlicensed journalism. The Rev. E. E. Hoss of Nashville, Tenn., said it would be impertinence for the conference to tell Great Britain what to do in South Africa. The delegates during the afternoon devoted themselves to the discussion of the question of Christianity, a pa per on which was read by Bishop D. S. "Williams of Augusta, Ga. The Rev. F. M. Borth, of New. Tork, explained at length the system employ ed in New York to promote unity. TO WHIP ENGLAND. That Seems to Be France's Most Cherished Ambition. Paris, Sept. 6. Colonel de Launey of the French army, publishes a remark able article in La Vie Illustre, in which he says the real object of the recent disembarkation of troops and other op erations in the west of France was to show the English that a possible con flict with England was taken into con sideration and precautions were being adopted for such a contingency, among them being the invasion of England. De Launey refers to the schemes of the first Napoleon for crossing the channel and throwing an army upon England's territory. What was impracticable for Napoleon, as he had not steam at his disposal, is, De Launey thinks, now within the bounds of possibility. He is of opinion of the French naval people who told him that even ii France were defeated at sea, it would still be pos sible to land invading forces along the English coast and tight wdth success. The French admiral said: "To disem bark troops in England would be the work of a single moonless night." De Launey does not think the French navy could be beaten, as it is in a highly efficient state. He says: "In considering the value of our officers and crew, the excellent quality of our ironclad defenses and the immense su periority of our naval guns, I can not help being full of confidence in view of the day our navy shall have to try con clusions with Britain's. I am glad to say I am not the only person who has this conviction, for, after the last fleet operations in the Mediterranean. Vice Admiral Gervais, the commander-in-chief, in bidding farewell to his officers and men and commemorating the great deeds accomplished, concluded with this sensational phrase: 'All hopes are permissible.' CLARK'S OIL LANDS. Located It 15 Years Ago Will Now Work It. Omaha, Neb., Sept. 6. A special to the World-Herald from Cheyenne, Wyo., says: Senator Thomas Kearns, of Utah; Senator Clarence D. Clark, of Wyom ing; ex-Congressman S. B. Elkins, of West Virginia; Perry S. Heath, of St. Louis; P. J. Queley, of Kemmerer, Wyo.; Richard Kerens, jr., and Frank J. 'Westcott, Salt Lake, and E. L. Do heny, of .Los Angeles, are the directors and principal stockholders of the Inter mountain Oil company, which is cap italized at $10,000,000, and which has been formed for the purpose of develop ing a large tract of valuable oil lands in the fossil fields south of Kemmerer, in the southwestern part of the state. Senator Clark located the-land 15 yearj ago, but has not until this time taken steps to develop its oil properties. It is understood the company has plenty of financial backing, and that the work of development will begin at once. Tests already made are said to have shown a high grade of illuminating oil.

Propositions Received Today Were Unsatisfactory. Award of contract for erecting the Ceres statue on the statehouse donifj has been put off until Monday, at least, perhaps longer. There were but two bids submitted t the council. One for $7,500 was put iu by the National Art foundry, of New York. This bid was only for the statu.; f. o. b. Topeka. As the specifications called for the statue in place on top the dome, this bid was rejected at once. The other bid is $6,fl"0 for the work complete. This is the offer of the Wins low Bros, company, of Chicago. Of the two designs furnished with the specifications, models one-sixth of full size, the National Art's design is far superior. The people of Kansas would not have the model as submitted by the (Micago firm's artist. It is not symmetru ,il and by far too scant of drapery. Tile New York design is good. The council put off further consider ation of the same business until next Monday, when there is not so much trouble on hand with understrappers. If the Chicago firm's bid is successful, it is evident that it will only be after a different model is designed. TO SEE THE FALLS President McKinley in Company With a Numerous Party Leaves Buffalo For a Day Sight Seeing. of Buffalo, N. Y., Sept. 6. IYesident Mc Kinley and party, a few invited guesiii and a military escort numbering in all about 100 left here at 9 o'clock on a special train on the New York Centra, for Lewiston, where they will tpke spec ial" cars on the Great Gorge road foi Niagara' Falls.

At 4 o'clock the president will hold a reception in the temple of music at the Pan-American grounds. This evening the presi dent will attend a reception in his hon or at the residence of Georgt L. Wil liams. A special to the News from Niagara Falls, says: The party arrived at Lewiston at o'clock. There was a crowd of excur sionists at the dock waiting to take ihe Toronto boat, but the president's com ing had evidently not been noised about and he and his party attracted no ex traordinary attention. At Lewiston the party boarded four special trolley cars of the (Joi-ge route and were whisked up along the liver bank to Niagara Falls without making a. stop. Alighting at Main and Seron l streets twenty-live carriages were wait ing to take the president and party on a short tour of the city. Mayor Butler of Niagara Falls, General S. M, W and Captains I'agai). Chapin and White of the Sixty-fifth regiment acted as escort. The president was driven to the steel arch bridge and then back to the inter national bridge where Mrs. McKinley alighted to take a rest until the rest of the party returned for lunch'.-nn.

Frio tve Eoralma Lost to Lord Derby at Charter Oak Park. Colors of the Boston Trotter Un expectedly Lowered. WAS A GRAND CONTEST Betting Was Yery Heary, Fully $90,000 Being Up. Lawson's Horse a Tremendous Favorite at Start. Hartford, Conn., Sept. 6. A big crowd at Charter Oak park Thursday after noon witnessed the defeat of Thomas Lawson's celebrated gelding, Boralma, by C. J. Hamlin's Lord Derby. The race between these two was one of the finest of the year and It was only after five heats had been trotted that the Boston favorite's colors were lowered. The bet ting on the race, the free-for-all trot, was very -heavy. The starters were Boralma, Lord Derby and The Monk. As much as $90,000 went into the pooL Boralma was a tremendous favorite be fore the start at odds cf 3 to 1 for the other two. His backer seemed to think he could not lose. Ed Geers was up be hind Lord Derby, James G. Gatcomb drove Boralma, and M. E. McHenry held the lines over The Monk. In the first heat Boralma led at the quarter by a length, with Lord Derby second and The ilonk third. These posittons wera maintained into the stretch, when Geii'S ahook out Lord Derby and the race to tne wire was a heart-breaker. Lord Derby nailed Boralma at the SO-yards distance and passed the wire a nosa ahead. The last quarter was trotted in 30Vi seconds. The betting then turned to 10 on Lord Derby to 7 on the field, and the money was put down very fast. The word for the second heat was given to an even start, but 50 yards from the wire Lord Derby made a dis astrous break and fell away back. Bor alma took the heat easily from The Monk and Lord Derby was just inside the distance. Boralma was made the pool favorite at 100 to 40 for the field. At the quarter Boralma led Lord Derby by a length and retained this to the half. On the lower turn Lord Derby made an irresistible burst of speed, passed Boralma and going strongly won the heat by an open length. Lord Derby was again made a favorite at 4 to 1. As in the second heat Lord Derby broke at the turn and waa simply driv en to save his distance. Boralma was lapped all the way in this heat by The Monk and won by a short length. Lord Derby still remained the favorite and, keeping his feet all the way, had little difficulty in taking the last heat and the race. In the 2:06 pace there were six start ers. Dumont W. and Edith W. were equal first choices, with Mazette and Riley B. well thought of. Kdith W. took the first heat, with Billy Andrews sec ond and the rest apparently lying back All of the drivers were cautioned by the judges. Mazette took the second heat with Riley B. a bad second and the rest jtist inside the fiag. The third heat went to Riley B., but he was distanced in the fourth which went to Kdith W. Dumont W. appeared in the fiTtn and took the heat. Before the start in the sixth the judges took Turner from be hind Kdith W. and substituted Ed Geers. Edith W. won the sixth and decisive heat handily. After the races the judges announced that they ha.d fined Turner, the driver of Edith W., $200; Ernest, the driver of Dumont W., $100, and McHenry, the driver of Hetty G., $100, for laying up heats. In addi tion Geers was awarded $100 for driving Edith W. in the final heat Onward Silver, although a 5 to 1 fa vorite in the 2:10 trot, could do nothing with Toggles, who won the race in ttraight heats. Dan Patch, a prohibi tive favorite in the 2:14 pace, added an other to his unbroken fitring of victor ies. His field was at no time danger ous and he won almost as he pleased. WADDELL LEAVES ORPHANS.

The "Iron Man," who was reinstated by Presi dent Johnson Tuesday, after he had paid a fine and had promised to offer an hum ble a.pology- to Umpire Tom Connolly when the Kaitimores reached Cleveland, has not yet fuliiiled this part of the agreement. "I have not seen McGinnity yet," said Connolly, "and I don't care to see him. If he appears in the game, all right. I'll treat him just as I wiil treat everybody else, but I don't care for his apology, and if he offers it I will simply ignore him. I can do nothing else. "If a player comes rushing up to me in the heat of excitement during a game and siaos my face or hits me a rib roaster I caii overlook it. My hand will go out to him in forgiveness In a. moment. Hut when, as in MoGlinnity's case, a man leaves the bench, rushes up to me and de liberately spikes me and spits in my face, as he did. twice in succession, I do not care for his apology. I want nothing whatever to do with him. President .John son mav not like it. Put I can certainly have no dealings off the diamond with such a person." FINE RIFLE SHOOTING.

All Western States and Points of Interest Reached with least Inconvenience via the Union Pacific. F. A. LEWIS. City Ticket Agent, J. C. Fulton, Depot Agent. 525 Kansas Avenue. During the past few months, the re ceipts of Western Union telegraph of flees on lines of the Santa Fe proper, west of Kansas City, have been making a wonderful increase. for August, it is stated that the re ceipts have been $2,000 higher than for any previous single month in the rec ords of the road. For July, the receipts were $4,000 higher than for July of 1900. "Kvery month this year," said Super intendent of Telegraph C. G. Sholes, "has shown healthy increase over the corresponding month of previous years I attribute this to the generally pros perous condition of the country cover ed by these lines. It may in part be due to the opening of the new counry in Oklahoma." The arrangement of the Western Un ion and the Santa Fe in Kansas is such that only in a few larger towns has the Western Union a separate office. In most of the towns the Santa Fe and the Western Union use the same office. Reports of all receipts are made to Superintendent Sholes. The best paying offices on the Santa Fe proper are those between Arkansas City and Purcell. There are only two large offices in this line Guthrie and Oklahoma City but in proportion to the outlay involved and the population served, the Arkansas City-Furcell of fices hold the palm. This is probably due to the big wheat crop in Okla homa. On the other hand, the offices in Tex as, on the Bl Paso route, do not make a good showing. There is a falling off recently of from $23 to $150 in almost all of them. The reason for this decrease is thought to be due to the crop fail ures in that section. The Santa Fe officials are reticent about giving out figures in regard to receipts from telegraph offices, and the total amounts for the respective months could not be ascertained. SAY IT'S FALSE. BRIEF TELEGRAMS. Berlin, Sept. 6. A special dispatch to the Lokal Anzeiger from Dantzic says Kmperor William has invited Prince Ohtiu to witness the autumn manuev ei. Detroit, Mirh.. Sept. 8. About HO members of the National Window Glass Jobbers' association hiet here and de cided to advance the price of window glass 5 per cent, the advance ta take effect at once. Guthrie. Ok.. Sept. 6. A train- load of wheat, all of which graded No. 1, passed thruugh Guthrie last evening via the Santa Fe. It was raised on the "101 ranch," Kay county, Ok., and was pur chased by Texas parties for seed. Guthrie, Ok.. Sept. 6. In an alterca tion, which occurred just across the Ok lahoma line in the Creek Nation, two prominent cattlemen, George MoEiroy and Kimble Nelson, were both shot through the body. The quarrel origi nated over cattle matters. The condi tion of both men is said to be serious. London, Sept.6. "Russian newspapers are forbidden to refer to famine condi tions in Russia," says the St. Peters burg correspondent of the Daily Mail, -because hunger, typhus and scurvy have broken out in many districts anil hundreds are dying daily." Ixmdon, Sept. 9. "A member of the Russian imperial suite asserts that Em peoror Nicholas would have liked to visit Paris," says a dispatch to the Daily Hail from Copenhagen, "but he has been dissuaded by his private po lice, who fear an anarchist outrage." Jeruselam, Sept. 8. The new- Russian poatofliee was opened in Jeruselam to day with great public ceremonies, in the presence of members of the Russian consulate, Russian clergy, Russian res idents and pilgrims. Berlin, Sept. 6. The society of mer chants and industrials of Berlin has ad dressed a circular to exporters a, -vising tiicca .wiaen f;rotesting against United States customs decisions to give the fullest possible information regarding each case thereby rendering a thorough investigation by the United States authorities possible. Constantinople,' Sept. 6. The parte, it is said, is endeavoring to come to a di rect understanding with the French claimants against the Ottoman govern ment hoping thus to deprive the French government of its grounds for action. Constantinople, Sept. 6. Brigands have carried off an American lady en gaged in missionary work and a lady companion in the district of Djumabala, Vilayet of Salonika. BRITISH MAKE A HAUL Officials All Deny the Story of Santa Fe's St. Louis Scheme. The Santa Fe officials located in To- peka all deny any knowledge of the re ported deal by which the Santa Fe would gain an entry to St. Louis over the Blair line and the St. Louis, Kan sas City Colorado. It was said in a Kansas City Dispatch that the deal would be effective in time for world's fair travel. A dispatch from St. Louis says "On the authority of President Yoa kum, of the Frisco, and President Srul lin, of the St. Louis line, or St. Louis, Kansas City Colorado, it may be stated that the dispatch from Kansas City relative to the Blair line being made a part of the Colorado system is entirely without foundation. No such deal is being considered, and there has been no offer to buy or to sell the Blair line, which is a part of the Frisco sys tem. The course of the St. Louis Ine extension is known to be a point within sixteen miles of Clinton, but beyond that point the direction has not yet been announced." RATES DEMORALIZED. No Changs Yet in the Western Grain Troubles. Chicago, Sept. 6. The statistics of the western grain movement last week were cut short one day by the holiday Saturday, henoe the showing of receipts by the western lines was the smallest for the period in over four years. The aggregate receipts here were 5. 108.00) bushels, a decrease of 899.000 from the previous -week. There was also a loss of 938 bushels from last week, of 2,639, 000 from 1S99, and of 2,705,000 from 1S9. Rates are more or less demoralized at southwestern Missouri river points. In the northwest the roads are getting all the business they can handle, and although all roads are busy with their grain movement and have no surplus cars, the situation in this respect is not bad.

These Facts Must Convince Every Topeka Reader- That which follows is the experience of a resident of Topeka. Incredulity can not exist about the statement, because it can easily be investigated. Mr. E. McPherson, of 425 Chandler street, brakeman on the Santa Fe rail way, says: "Nearly all my life I had more or less trouble from my kidneys, and was seldom free from pain across the small of my back. Railroading at its best is very hard on the back and kidneys, as everyone knows who has tried it. I used remedies of different kinds, but they all failed to reach ihe cause. Procuring a box of Doan's Kid ney Fills at Rowley Snow's drug store, corner of Sixth street and Kansas avenue, although I did not take the treatment as regularly as I oiight. thev did the work just the same.

Clapp, night dispatcher at the Missouri Pacific offices, is a candidate for vice president of the national Order of Railway Telegraphers. The telegraphers of Atchison, St. Joe, St. Louis and Omaha have instructed for him. The national convention will be held in Indianapolis in October. Atch ison Globe. F. M. Burson showed us a sample of black sand this morning he got in the western part of the state. He says it has been analyzed and shows gold and silver to the amount of $3.20 and $1.80, respectively, to the ton. This sand came from Ne3S county. Great Bend Register. Mr. Burson is one of th.e Santa Fe's most popular conductors, unning on the Great Bend branch. Newton Kansan-Republican. The Santa Fe company has a force at work reducing the grades between Olathe and Ottawa, Kas., and has an engineering party in the field making surveys for a reduction of grades on the line between Las Vegas, N. M., and the Glorieta mountains. The company is also double-tracking the line from Trinidad, Colo., over the Raton moun tains, and is building a new line from Pueblo, Colo., north nine miles to re duce the grade. Railway Age. The Kincaid Stoker company, of Cin cinnati, Ohio, is trying to get one of their locomotive stokers placed on a Santa Fe engine. This stoker is to fire the engine. It is now almost impossible for a human being to fire the big bat tleships the railroad companies are using in these days. This stoker feeds the fire gradually and has been very successfully tried on eastern roads. It does not, however, take the fireman's job, such as ringing the bell and flirt ing with ladies on the left hand side of the cabin. Emporia Republican. A new town has been started a dis tance of about ten miles from Santa Rosa on the Rock Island. The baby has no name as yet. but has excellent qualities to recommend itself. It is located in the basin watered by the streams tributary to the Pecos. All the ground is taken up and many buildings are in the course of construction. Water can be found at a depth of six to ten feet and the ground is free from alkali. It would make an ideal place for orchards and gardens, and no doubt the near future will see this spot trans formed into well cultivated acres. The promoters of this new townsite are con fident of being on the right side of the fence. The place has certain advant ages, as the railroad passes right through its center. The time may not be far off before the settlement grew? into lively little town. Las Vegas Record. ABOUT RAILROAD PEOPIE of the cab department is Reed "Wells sick. John B.

While the trade of the United Kingdom since 1883 has increased less than one and one-half fold, that of the United States and that of Germany has each grown ten fold, and the most strenuous efforts are being made by the last named two countries for trade extensions in. the j future.

The news is received In th. State Jour nal building over wires for this sole pur pose, busv through the entire day. A complete copy of tha night report is also received. The trial yacht races present a situ ation in which the Constitution follows tiie. flag of the Columbia. The president is not making- many speeches lately, but he never fails to put in a word for the ship subsidy scheme. The embalmed beef again has got in its work on Uncle Sam's soldiers. The hospital at Fort McPherson holds 2-6 victims of ptomaine poisoning.

When Colonel Roosevelt goes out to Ioa to make campaign speeches in the interest of the state ticket, as he has promised to do, the event probably will put an end to the Shaw boom recently started by Senator Dolliver. Indianapolis News: The free deliv ery system introduces a new era in ref erence to roads. It might be in sparse ly settled communities that the system of road building and care of roads which prevails in this state would be sufficient, but the needs of modem life, the increase of our population and the development of our industries alike de mand better service. St. Louis Star: Leading Republicans of Kansas have already proposed Gov ernor "William E. Stanley to succeed "W. A. Harris, Populist, in the United States senate. Undoubtedly the next senator should be Republican, and this being the case, we know of no better man for the place than the gentleman who knocked out our former cake walking governor, Lonnie Stephens, in St. Louis, a year or two ago. Governor Stanley will be acceptable to the Re publicans of Missouri. Exports to China are beginning to resume their normal proportions. The July figures of the treasury bureau of statistics show the total exports to China from the United States as $2,622. 473. against Il.249.6ti7 in July. 1900. In the seven months ending with Juiy, 3?'-lv the total exports to China are $9, 7w3,:?7. against 100,321 in the corre sponding seven months of the preced ing iisral year. Taking the exports to the I'r:'. i-.-'n and Russian possessions in Chh;;t also, the total for the seven mor.ths is $lfi,OP0,S16, as against 24?, 10 in the correspond ins period oft last year, Our exports to Ciiina in July, Iff'l, are larger than in any preceding July, a fact which seems to indicate that the commercial relations with China are not likely to permanently suffer as a result of the events of the past year. The average July exporta tion to China from the United States in the past few years has been about $1, 2 50, 000. or about one-half the total for July. 1P01; and in July of the years im mediately preceding the hostilities they reached only about $1,500,000. LET JUSTICE BE DONE. 'An eastern paper became facetious ever the recent business venture of Mr. Bryan, and a Democratic paper in Chi cago copies the article with evident rel ish. The first cause of these remarks is that Mr. F.ryan haa purchased an eastern paper publishing about the same matter as doe3 the Commoner. Now, if Mr. F.ryan had not spent so much time in assailing combinations and trusts, nothing would have been eaid of the consolidation of another pa per with his own. His purchase simply shows that while Mr. Bryan denounces combinations, when it comes to getting rid of a competitor he is as eager to do it as is the head of the steel or the coal oil combination. Mr. Bryan saw that the paper which he purchased would probably interfere with the influence and prosperity of his Commoner. The competing publisher might reduce the price or offer a premium to get sub scribers to the injury of Mr. Bryan's venture. So he bought up the competi tor and adds its subscription list to that of the Commoner. If there were a half dozen papers trying to occupy the same field as the Commoner, Mr. Bryan would have purchased them if he could, because, like Mr. Rockefeller or Mr. Fierpont Morgan, he would get rid of every competitor to the end that he may manage the business at a profit. Indianapolis Journal. The foregoing having little or no foundation in fact, serves to show to what lengths partisanship will carry eome newspapers in an effort to injure a posit ical opponent. The facts are that tia National iSYatchniau, the paper al- luded to which has been consolidated with the Commoner, was about to go out of business. The paper, since Sena tor Stewart quit ""putting up" for it has had a precarious existence but it has remained steadfastly loyal to Mr. Bryan, and the principles which he ad vocates. There is a well founded be lief that the Nebraska n even has con tributed liberally in cash to its main tenance. Certainly, he has never re garded it as a competitor and what more natural than that he should rescue it from total extinction. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe.l Lots of good men are worthless with out a leader. "When a woman begins snorting around about her rights, a, man wants his. It is easy to say, "Be a man, and quit your bad habits," but it is mighty hard to do. You can tell the price of feed at any time by looking at the ribs of some men's horses. When a widower puts a black band around his hat, the women say: "The old hypocrite!" An Atchison man has fifty-seven kin, all first degree, and not one gets more than $75 a month. "We are beginning to have weather not warm enough for Hies to play out doors, and not cold enough, to kill them. As we get older, we find our eyes as good as ever, but that publishers are growing more careless about giving their papers a distinct print. "When a man can't get rid of a foolish notion, and sticks to it. right or wrong, it is a sign that he will never be able to earn more than two dollars a day. Look out for a binjr, bang, a cloud of smoke, and the fire bells. An absent minded Atchison girl, who is in love, is using a gasoline stove to do the cook ing on. Nearly every man once sang in the choir, and nearly every girl at one pe riod wrapped an old sheet around her, and had her photograph taken in "classic" style. "When a girl gets married, the neigh bors regard it as a barometer to her father's financial condition if she gets one petticoat more or less than her sister, who married several years be fore. A Kansas man named Baldwin is now in the Arctic regions. Is the gov ernment to do nothing toward rescuing him? Is he to be left there to freeze? Are we not a humane people? (The Globe Hatters itself that it got in this yell first.) An Atchison girl is so necessary to the comfort of the family that she has been induced by her parents to put off her wedding three times: once to take care of some member of the family who was sick, once to take care of her father while the rest of the family took a vacation, and once to put up the fam ily preserves. POINTED PARAGRAPHS. From the Chicago News. Bankrupts are broken, but idiots are only cracked. Better do a few things well than at tempt to do many. "When some people are unable to do a thing they boast of it. Many a woman studies Iter glass to the neglect of her heart. If a girl has teeth like pearls she's never as dumb as an oyster. All women are born equal, but some spoil it by getting married. Nothing aggravates a girl so much as her inability to make a man angry. If some men would work more and hope less they would get along better. The bachelor guests at a wedding are compelled to contemplate matrimony. A genial man is one who enjoys fun and comfort at the expense of other men. Love is responsible for a good many frosts in summer and for a few hot waves in winter. Never enter into a partnership with a man whose wife is president of a woman-suffrage club. Lucifer was the star of the morning, but the wise theatrical star sticks to afternoon and evening performances. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New York Press. Most people show a marvelous forti tude over the suffering of their friends. Thy can raise babies with incubators, but, thank the Lord, they can't make them that way. Maybe a woman can love a fat man if lie g-ot that way after she married hint, but how in the world does she do it before? Whether a woman's playing on the piano is called artistic depends on whether her friends know how much she paid for her musie lessons. Sympathy you'd like, but you can't get it; consolation you'd take, but it isn't offered; pity you hate, but it's thrown at you by the basketful. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. From the Philadelphia Record. People who live in glass houses have a rocky road to travel. The prodigal son is a sort of com bination of black sheep and fatted calf. The superstitious gambler finds it easier to change his mind than to change his luck. Painless dentistry will be assured just as soon as we are born with ache less teeth. According to the feminine point of view, no secret is so slight that it won't bear repeating. Hubbubs "I suppose you raise all your own vegetables." Cubbubs "Yes; when the dumb waiter isn't out of or der." "A man may have horse sense." says the Manayunk Philosopher, "and still, when occasion demand, be may kick like a mule." Blobbs "Wiwag must be making an awful lot of money." Slobbs "I shouid say he is. I actually believe he is mak ing more than his wife can spend." He Tanque "Better stay away from Atlantic City. They are having a water famine down there." O'Soaque "Well, I guess I can manage to take mine un diluted." If your liver is out of order, causing Biliousness, Sick Headache, Heart burn, or Constipation, take a dose of f m mm m id Hu0 iJ HJ ff'isjei wb m On retiring, and tomorrow your di gestive organs will be regulated and you will be bright, active and ready for any kind of work.

Los Angeles, Cal., Sept. 6. Five pack ages of $.100 bills amounting to $29,000 were stolen yesterday from a trunk in a cottage at Long Beach, a seaside re sort, twenty miles from this city. Up to a late hour last night no trace of the missing money had been found. The money was the property of John Keinpley, who came to Long Beach from Fort Lodge, la., about five months ago, accompanied by his wife and mar ried daughter, Airs. Hannah AVongers. Kempley concluded to sell his 240 acre farm in Iowa and remain in Southern California. He had concluded the bar gain with Dr. O. T. Woodworth and a deed was prepared, to be delivered to the doctor upon the payment of $29,000. Yesterday morning an advertisement appeared in a Los Angeles paper in quiring for John Kempley. The ad vertisement stated that a childhood friend was desirous of meeting him and appointing the following morning as the time and the newspaper office as the place of meeting. Kempley was anxious to greet the friend of his child hoodand came toLosAngeles Thursday morning for that purpose. He failed to find anybody awaiting him. Shortly after his departure Dr. Woodworth called at the Kempley cottage with $2it, 0t0 and asked for the deed to the Iowa farm, which was given upon the pay ment of the money. Mrs. Kempley and her daughter placed the money in a trunk and both were called out of the house shortly afterward. They were only absent a few minutes but on their return the money was missing. The warrant was issued at Long Beach for the arrest of Dr. Woodworth. IIOOSEYELT IN YER310XT. The Vice President Spends a Day at Rutland. Rutland, Vt., Sept. 6. Rutland yes terday had as its guest Vice President Roosevelt. During the forenoon, under escort of Senator Redfield Proctor he visited the marble quarries at West Rutland and the mill of the Vermont Marble company at Centre Rutland. Afterward he was driven about the city and the fair grounds. The streets were'lined with cheering people, and at the entrance to the fair grounds the Vermont National Guard received the carriages. The vice president was given a heaa-ty ovation. Ha made a short ad dress. From the fair grounds Vice President Roosevelt was escorted to the private car of President Clements ofthe Grand Isle railroad, and then taken to Proctor where he ate luncheon with Senator Proctor. At a:30 p. m. he left for Bur lington. Burlington, Vt., Sept. 6. Vice Presi dent Roosevelt arrived here from Proc tor, where he was the guest of United States Senator Proctor at luncheon, after speaking at the state fair at Rut land. Senator Proctor accompanied him to this city. They were met at the railway station by Legrand B. Cannon, whose guests they are. Troops E and H of the Eleventh United States cav aly, from Fort Ethan Allan, acted as escort and there was soma cheering as the procession marched through the streets to Colonel Cannon's residence. Colonel Roosevelt delivered an address at the public meeting of the Vermont Officers' Reunion society, held at the Howard opera house. The building was crowded to the doors. Former Gov ernor E. J. Ormsby was in the chair. Mayor Hawley gave a brief address of welcome and the vice president was then introduced. He spoke of the meas ure of obligation of the country to the union soldiers of the civil war and the lessons that the war taught. Touching upon the recent war with Spain, he said "The lesson taught by the great war could only be imperfectly taught by any lesser war. Nevertheless, not a little good has been done even by such struggles as that which ended in en suring independence to Cuba and in giving to the Philippines a freedom to which they could never have attained had we permitted them to fall into anarchy or under a tyranny. It was a pleasant thing to see the way in which men came forward from every walk of life, from every section of the country, as soon as the call to arms oocurred. The need was small and easily met. and not one in a hundred of the ard ent young fellows who pressed forward to enter the army had a chance to see any service whatever. But it was good to see the spirit of '61 had not been lost." IOWA SOCIALISTS Meet in State Convention and Nomi nate a Ticket. Des Moines, la., Sept. 6. The Social ist party of Iowa met in state conven tion and nominated the following ticket: Governor James Baxter, of inte rna n. Lieutenant Governor W. A. Jacobs, of Davenport.

We declare our unalterable opposition to competition for bread and to the capitalistic, control of the means of production and distribution, and. to secure a system whereby want, misery and poverty shall be forever eliminat ed, we pledge ourselves to the final and complete overthrow of all competitive and capitalistic systems and the sub stitution therefor of a co-operative commonwealth and collective owner ship of all means of production and dis tribution."

At 2 p. m. today a grand excursion, with low rates to all, started from the city hall for the city dump and crema tory, with a side trip across the Kaw to the place proposed by the Topeka Desiccating company as a site for the new crematory which has been official ly indorsed by the sanitary committee of the council. Those who went on the excursion were members of the city council. The conveyance was the "hoodlum" wagon. The object of the trip was to find out whether the city dump is as bad a place as the people of Oakland make out. It was also to see whether the s te for the proposed crematory and desic cating works is likely to be satisfac tory. The work of repairing the broken down cable at the dump win begin Sat urday morning. J. W.

Samuel Gompers. president of the American Federation of Labor, says today that the work of the conciliation board had oome to an end.

It has Just developed that a "boss busters" conference was held in Kansas City on Wednesday. There was too much of a crowd around Copeland county, so Senator Burton went down to the mouth of the Kaw with the others. In the conference were D. W. Finney, Dick Blue, Farmer A. W. Smith, Major Tom Anderson. O. H. Coulter, Captain John Sea ton, W. T. F. Donald, Judge Albert Horton, Pat Coney and a half dozen lesser lights. Col. Dick Blue presided. Senator Bur ton was called up on the carpet and asked to explain why he could not get Cy Leland removed. Burton told them the president was in the road, that was the principal and only obstacle. Leland had gone to Mc Kinley's rescue in '96 at a critical time. "Therefore McKinley told me," said Burton, "ir Leland wants anything bet ter he can have it. He can certainly have what he wants, and he wants to stay pension agent." Burton asserted to the "boss-busters" that it would be folly for him to fight Leland's confirmation in the senate. He would only offend the president and place himself in the box of Wellington, of Maryland, who opposed the admin istration. Tom Anderson began to roast H. Clay Evans. Coulter came in on this proposition strong, too. Anderson was told he had better hush up, for he holds a federal office himself, statistician, at $720 per year. Pat Coney finally advocated adjourn ing for a day or two, but Judge Horton had it amended to an adjournment sine die. leaving all matters where they had been before in Senator Burton's hands.

President's Remarks at Buffalo Attract English Press. London, Sept. 6. Additional English press comments upon President Mc Kinley's Buffalo speech continue to at tract attention. The Post, among other things, con siders that it bears a resemblance to the one delivered on Wednesday night by the English home secretary at Not tingham. Both speakers urged the ne cessity of opening new markets for trade and each admitted that his gov ernment had a certain responsibility in the matter. The Standard says that the aim of the United States to be the predomi nant political audi commercial power is decided by an economic need of finding an outlet for her increasing surplus products. AN ALPINE TRAGEDY. Daughter of a British India Official Slips to Her Death. New York. Sept. 6. A dispatch to the Journal and Advertiser from Berne gives the following additional details regarding the death of a traveler in Switzerland: There was another Al pine tragedy at Erstfeld, canton of Uri, yesterday, the victim being Miss Margaret Crawford, the 26-year-old daughter of a British Indian official who had been staying at Engelberg for the benefit of her health. Accompanied by her sister. Miss Crawford left Engelberg early on Wed nesday without a guide, intending to sleep at the Alpine club hut and pro ceed via the Schlossberg glacier into tlie Erstfeld. valley. They accomplish ed most of the descent and actually reached the extremity of the glacier when the elder sister slipped and fell into a crevasse in the glacier. The fall was witnessed by a shepherd, who obtained the assistance of five men and recovered the body after much difficulty. The other sister had entirely disap peared. A search was made and she was discovered by a goatherd, in a half demented state from fright and grief, having fled wildly from the scene of her sister's death. TO BUILD MORE STEAMERS.

Pennsylvania railroad officials in Jersey City made public the fact that the company will soon replace its present piers at York, Grand and Sussex streets in that city with two modern iron piers. They will be 700 feet long and two stories high, and will be used by the Red Star line steamship company, which is part of the Pennsylvania system. It was also announced that-several new steamships are being built for the company. These it is said will be the largest vessels coming into New York harbor, except the White Star line steamers.

The Berlin corre spondent of the Times says great sur prise is felt here that the semi- official press has not thought it necessary to give an account of the negotiations at Basle from the German point of view.

A special to Intermountain from Deer Lodge, ont., says: I James MeArthar, alias James Flem J.g. was hanged here this morning for the murder of Capt. Oliver Dolson last February. The execution was wit nessed by neatly every sheriff in the s-iate, and a large number of invited ijuests. McArthur kept his nerve to The last and walked to the gallows without a sign of weakness. After taking- his place on the platform he was griven permission to make a statement. Facing the si-ectators he launched into is. torrent of abuse of the men who had leen instrumental in sending him to Ids death, and declared again and again that he was innocent. He rambled on for several minutes, and Jinally the sheriff, seeing there was no chance to stop him. gave the signal fur the trap to be sprung. The drop fell at 10:16. and McArthur was pro nounced dead seven minutes later. The crime for which James Fleming Buffered the death penalty is one of the moat remarkable in the history of criminology, involving a most revoit-J-.s and diabolical conspiracy. on August 8, l!S!t, Eugene Cullinane. sn aged resident of Washington Guh h, Fowell county, was found murdered. For this crime Clinton lVilson, Charles Oliver Benson and Ellis Persinger were i v icted. Dolson was sentenced to life imprisonment, and Benson. who made a ?rtal confession, and Persinger were r teuoe-.l to ten years. last January Persinger informed -"Warden Cor.iey. of the state prison, that Clinton Dolson and a convict iinown as James McArthur, but whose real name was James Fleming, had conspired to murder Capt. Oliver Xol pon, Clinton Doison's father, an old man living in Washington Gulch. Fleming, whose term was soon to expire, was to kill Capt. Dolson, leave a forged con lession and will, and arrange the sur roundings in such a way as to lead to the theory of suicide. The contents of the confession were to be to the effect that Capt. Dolson had killed Kugene Cullinane: that his son.

Fleming's reward for the murder was to be a share in $15, 00 which Clinton Dolson claimed to have cached away in Wyoming, the proceeds of an alleged train robbery. So wild was the plot that the prison officials paid no attention to it. Early in January of this year Flem ing was released. On February 15 he was seen at Washington Gulch. On February 20 the dead body of Captain Dolson was found In his cabin with a bullet wound in his head. On the wall was fixed a ritle with a string attached to the trigger leading to a point near the dead body. The arrangement of the furniture and other articles about the place indicated suicide. The pur ported confession as previously out lined was found on a table, also a will bequeathing Captain Dolson's entire estate to his son. Fleming was captured near Missoula. On trial the circumstantial evidence showed that he had concealed himself in the Dolson house, and through a hole in the partition had tired the fatal shot. The handwriting In the alleged confession was identical with other specimens proved to be written by Fleming. The defense's alibi theory was completely demolished, and tne conviction was secured within an hour on July 13. Clinton Dolson was also convicted and sentenced to be executed Septem ber 6, but in his case a respite to Oc tober 25 was granted by the governor on technical grounds.

Executive Council at Last Ousts Custodian. Dismissed Because lie Neglected Ilis Duties. AN EXCITING TIME. State Officers Make Lengthy Speeches on (Question. Col. Geo. W. Veale is Elected in Dudley's Place. Custodian John Dudley was discharg ed by the executive council yesterday. Two hours were consumed in the inves tigation, from 3 to 5 o'clock. D. W. ftlulvane was present as Dudley's attor ney and talked to the council as if H was a court, while Secretary of State Clark said he guessed the council could discharge a janitor without calling a lot of witnesses to substantiate the charges filed when every member of the executive council had personal knowl edge of the facts. There was as much of a circus as when the railroad commissioners were elected. The forces were lined up the same way. Grimes and Nelson were left out on a limb with Dudley, while Clark, Cole, Stanley and Godard insist ed on his dismissal. Afterward Colonel George "W. Veale was elected custodian by a unanimous vote. The change will be made October 1. The action of the executive council is the result of the long-standing griev ance that the janitors are bigger than the state house. There were 13 specific charges filed in the formal complaint offered by Seoretary Clark. They were trifling matters, because, as Clark says, "That's the kind of work janitors do compared to railroad officers and other officers, but they are trifles that want to be done right." The charges embrace the following specifications: Failure to make semi-annual reports of his department; failure to keep track of towels', disregard of instructions re garding the weighing of ice; neglect ex hibited in keeping building clean; flood ing of building through mismanagement of force; permitting electric lights to burn for several weeks after close of legislature; allowing rubbish to accum ulate in corridors; failure to brand COLONEL GEORGE W. VEALE, The New Custodian of the State House. furniture as instructed; negligence shown in keeping of state house grounds; permitting flowers and shrubs to be stolen; failure to clean entrances to building; permitting hoodlums to en ter attic of building: allowing persons to hitch horses to posts along walks In grounds. Messrs. Grimes and Nelson defended Dudley's record with vehemence. Grimes denouaeed the fight on Dudley as "bun combe," "boy's play" and "peanut poli tics." He waxed greatly wroth and made an excellent impromptu speech telling how a custodian was a mere Blave to the exacting members of the executive council, oppressed and hard worked. He had five typewritten pages cf prepared speech to follow this and Nelson came in the game with an other column. Nelson laid it onto the fishermen who enjoy themselves by the brooksides and then come home tocriticise the custodian for not doing as good a job as nature with his flower beds. "It is nt to be assumed however," said Debater Nel son, with fine irony, "that the state house grounds, where there is room for euch a fine aesthetic tase, can be made to met the ideal of the very refined peo ple and especially of those whose ap preciation of the beautiful has been highly developed by coming in touch with nature's beauty In those secluded spots where fishes live and swim and where they fall a prey to the skilled and beguiling hand of the fisherman." Dudley was put through a course of questioning by his lawyer and the mem bers of the council. He denied every charge and gave explanations, claim ing that the law did not require written reports, that the engineer was responsi ble for lights and that those turned on in committee room for weeks need not be reported to the janitors. He claimed his working force was too small. Auditor Cole compelled an admission that he had four men to work on the lawns instead of one. as stated, and that flowers and shrubs were picked after Dudley had declared that "not a shrub or flower" was ever carried away. Attorney General Godard made the crucial speech. He declared that his position in this matter was the most trying- He told how he had called Dudley into his office repeatedly and warned him that he was letting things go too loosely. In expressing his re grets at the way he should now vote. Mr. Godard said: "John had good intentions, but he has not the mental make-up. That is the whole difficulty. The idea that it was a political snap he had on hand was too prominent and there is no doubt that the men are not under his con trol." Dudley says he has been used as a cat's paw by the council and that he is not yet through. He says he made his opponents show their hand. The fight on him was started as long ago as last February. He says he was traded by Clark and Godard for Railroad Com missioner Walker. Governor Stanley and Auditor Cole said that the fact that there is friction between a member of council and an employe was sufficient cause to their xninds to change custodians were there no charges pending. Cole said: "As between a member of the council and an employe, it is my place to stay by the fellow-member." Secretary Clark and .Dudley "do not speak" and have not for months. That is an incidental matter to Dudley's dis charge, however. Two members of the state house grounds committee, Cole and Godard, Grimes being the third, maintained that the grounds are not properly kept and that settled it. Col. George W. Veale, who hasbeen selected for Dudley's successor, is an cld-time resident of this city. He is a veteran of the civil war and has taken much interest in civic and state affairs. He has been a member of the legislature several times and was last winter sergeant-at-arms of the senate. Col. Veale is regarded as a competent man and it is believed one who will not be bossed by the janitors whom he is ex pected to control. R. R. Y. M. C. A. STATEMENT.

SECRET SESSION. Working Heads of Ererj Road in the Harriman Syndicate. Chicago, Sept. 6. It was learned to day that since last Monday the working heads of every road embraced in the Harriman syndicate have been holding secret sessions in Chicago, and these meetings are to continue till the end of next week. Among the officials pres ent are: J. C. Stubbs, general traffic director of the Union Pacific, Southern Pacific and Central Pacific systems; K. O. McCormick, general passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific; E. I Lornax, general passenger agent of the Union Pacific; Ben Campbell, general traffic manager of the Oregon Railway and Navigation company; A. L. Craig, general passenger agent of the same road, and D. E. Burley, general passen ger agent of the Oregon Short line. All of these officials brought with them their stenographers and secre taries and are quartered at the Audi torium Annex. None of them is reg istered and the greatest secrecy has been preserved concerning their movements. When it became known in railway circles that the meeting was being held it was said that its object was to start a vigorous campaign for the purpose of bringing to the Pacific coast and from there to the eastern centers of com merce every dollars worth of traffic that can be diverted to this country from the orient. E. O. McCormick, general passenger traffic manager of the Southern Pacific, said: "The little stream of trade that start ed across the Pacific with the opening of the Philippine campaign is beginning to increase to such an extent that it will rapidly develop into a mighty river. We believe that we have made such provision for this magnificent trade as will at least take care of its beginnings. W'e have the Occidental and Oriental line of steamers, the Pa cific Mail and the Japanese line and vessels the equal of any on the Atlantic ocean will soon be added to each of these fleets. Our agents are now travel ing all through the Orient seeking trade in every city and hamlet and planting the seed of what we believe will soon be a vast and rapidly increasing: com merce." None of the other participants in the conference would discuss its real char acter except to state that schedules and details of passenger traffic were being looked into and equalized. It is known, however, that one of the principal ob jects of the meetings outside of the main and all important item of oriental trade extension, is the settlement of the proportions of traffic between the var ious lines embraced by the combine. BUILDINGS AT HASKELL. Bids Were Opened For Their Con struction Testerday. Washington, D. C, Sept. 6 Bids were opened Thursday for furnishing and delivering the necessary materials and labor required to construct and com plete a stone domestic building with plumbing, steam heating and electric lights and a frame employes' quarters, with plumbing and steam heating, at Haskell institute, Lawrence, Kan., in accordance with plans and specifica tions prepared by the Indian office. Only two bids were submitted, both of which were less than the amount appropriated by congress, which was $25,000 for the domestic building and $5,000 for the construction of the em ployers' quarters. Wiliiam E. Lies of Lawrence, Kan., offered to construct the domestic build ing in accordance with the department's plahs for $23,474. If he adds an extra story to the building, making it a three story instead of a two story building, it will cost $2,125 additional. Lawrence S. L. Schneider of Law rence, Kan., proposes to construct a two story stone domestic building for $24,000. If an extra story is added it will cost $1,200 additional, making the total cost of the three story building $25,200. Mr. Schneider also proposes to complete and build a block of five cot tages for domestic quarters for $7,500. OA.STOTIIA..

Strike Order at Pittsburg,KansaB, Ex pected Today: Pittsburg-, Kan., Sept. 6. The miners strike situation looks more serious to day. The miners' national board has authorized the district boards to use extreme measures if necessary to force the "Big Four" operators to terms. President Richardson, of the miners' union, said last night: "We will order a strike tomorrow If we can find no other way of securing a settlement. Ninety per cent of the men will walk out." State Labor Commissioner Johnson is here, and has offered his services as arbitrator. The district board decided, however, that arbitration is not want ed for the present. All the companies are preparing for trouble. Stockades are being built about the mines and guards are being posted. There is a bad feeling between union and non-union men, and serious trouble may come. The miners' district board will meet today and canvass the situation. The calling of the strike can hardly be avoided now, as failure to do so would, in the minds of the miners, mean the disorganization of the union. The com panies have offered the men every con cession except the recognition of the union. J. R. Braidwood, formerly superin tendent of the Fidelity Land and Im provement company, has been appoint ed to the position of superintendent of the Kansas and Texas Coal company's mines in Kansas south of Pittsburg. The appointment of J. R. Braidwood to the superintendence of the Kansas and Texas mines south of Pittsburg is con sidered by the U. M. vv of A. district board as a hopeful indication that the Kansas and Texas company may yet sign up the Kansas City contract. Mr. Braidwood was a member of the con ference committee which met in Pitts burg and later in Kansas City and he is said to have been one of the most earn est workers in favor of the adoption of the Kansas City contract and he was one of the first to sign up the contract for his company. He is now, however, under instructions of a part of the Big Four company, and while individually he might wish to Eign up with the dis trict board, he is not in a position to do anything unless his superiors tell him. The district board was in secret session last evening and may not finish its labors before tonight. TODAY'S MARKET REPORT. Chicago.Sept. 6. WHEAT Wheat open ed dull with prices steady.

Newspaper experts have recently been figuring that importa tion of bar gold or American eagles from the Bank of England could begin at about $4.M for demand sterling. This figuring is too low. As a matter of fact gold can be had from the Hank of England at prices which, in connection with the time monev rate here and abroad, would make the importation without loss at $4. S3. Better terms are to be had in tht Lon don open market, and there is good rea son to think that a number of houses will import at $4.851-. This is just about 30 be low the present price. The imports of gold on the Pacific coast are alreadv going on and almost offset the telegraphic shipments of ourrenrv to the interior from the subtroasury. What ever loss in cash which the bank state ment will show this week will arise from direct shipments hv the banks themselves. Wall street is preparing for a poor state ment, which undoubtedly accounts In part for the reactionary tendency of tne stock market vesterdav afternoon. There is an even chance of more or less' money flurry this afternoon, although it is practically impossible that it should be serious.

Occasionally there were declines from specilic causes, such as that which took place in Brooklyn Rapid Transit. The July statement of this company was a disappointment, and Inasmuch Bs tbe stock has been neglected in all the rise of the past month, the more speculative class of holders would naturally taka alarm easily. There is supeestiveness, too in the remarks of President Vreland of the Metropolitan Street Railway company before the referee in the franchise tax litigation Wednesday afternoon. The Met ropolitan Street Railway company ia sup posed to be the strongest of ajl the trac tion systems. Mr. Vreland said that If the franchise tax were imposed in full many leases would have to b surren dered, and that if the connecting; lines ot the system are to be separated, srarcelv any could earn fixed charges. If tliis is true of the Metropolitan Street Railway company, it can be equally trwe of the Brooklyn Rapid Transit. Arguing on these lines, an astute room trader hammered the price down and wa rewarded by liquidation in abundance. On the other hand general business over th country is excellent and there is no break in the remarkable record of increase in railway gross earnings. Better traffic ex tends, from Canada to Mexico.

XH of the. latest departures in joint doings is the al leged druggingand subsequent rob bery of a man named W. J. Hal loway in (ieorge Klauer's joint on Kansas avenue. About two o'clock Halloway walked into police head quarters and said that be had been drugged at Klau er's place and re lieved of $72.00 net. He also managed to state that he only drank two glasses of Klauer's best before he was "touched." lie was sick and growing- rapidly worse until he be came unconscious. City Physician. .Tudd was called and he worked with the victim about an hour before he was pronounced sale, after which- he fell into a deep sleep, and was not aroused for several hours. When Ilalloway told his disjointed story at the station the chief and several officers at once re paired to the Klauer institution and "raided" the place in the same old way, bringing the masterof ceremonies down and locking him up. Then Officer 1'avey went to see Mr. Klauer's part ner, whom he found in North Topeka, having departed after the arrest of Klauer. This man. Will Shaffer, de nied stealing the wad from the person of Mr. Ilalloway, but alleged to Mr. 1'avey that he won it in a game of craps. Mr. Ilalloway has fully recov ered from the bad dose of something he didn't order with his beer, but is not very anxious to prosecute the par ties implicated. He didn't remember as much about it this morning' as he did while in the embrace of the "knock out drops." Thirty-six shekels a glass was the in ice Sir. Halloway paid for his two "gaysers." A sad accident occurred to a hoy named Win. Curry, who was tending bar at the Iiwsou hostelry when the place was raided Thursday evening. The youth was inexperienced, and when asked the customary question startled every one, especially his attorney, by pleading guilty. The attorney hastily apologized for the foolish answer of his client, and asked for a withdrawal of the plea, on the grounds that his client didn't know the fatal meaning of The Lawson Ives Was Well Concealed. "guilty." He stated that the youth was not as bright as gold, and was not aware of his danger. The court couldn't see why the boy didn't know the meaning of guilty, and was in clined to let the capital "3" opposite Curry's name stand, but a good-sized talk won the day and Curry was al lowed to say that he was mistaken. Curry was used as a catspaw by the management of the joint, and chanced to be present when the police, after a careful search, found the key hidden in a hole in the wall. It was by accident that the keg was discovered. It was "Lawson day" in police court. Three counts followed each other in rapid pucression. The score was: some thing like this: No. 1, nuisance. iiOj please, with day trimmings: No. 2. riitto: No. come again. Total, $1,500; 27cj days on the side. Consequence, im mense appeal bond. Burt Russell and Geo. Anderson fig ured in the t;r.st Thursday raid, which occurred about 3 p. m. C. McGregor Ruck Campbell and Burt Russell were the proceeds of the next call, a few hours later. Kegs, glasses, etc.. were of course included in each haul, and the police will continue to gather in the inhabitants of Castle Tim on at reicuiar intervals as long as they con tinue to get fresh kegs. Kight differ ent Su bonds have been filed with the jailer in the past 30 hours, and still the good work goes on. Krause's Headache Capsules are unlike anything prepared In America.

The vast ambitions of the United States as deduced from what the St. James Gazette calls Pres ident McKinley's sensational speech at Buffalo, continue to be the theme of the London editorial writers. "As military power and commercial enterprise must go hand in hand," says the St. James Gazette, "the import ance of the statements upon the world of politics as revealed in the new epoch upon which America is entering must be immense." The Evening Standard inquires if the reference to the isthmian canal is a hint to England, that the Clayton Bulwer treaty will have to go. "It looks like it." The paper considers that the "determination of the United States to be uppermost in Central and South America, both commercially and polit ically, is one of the hardest facts of our times." The Globe thinks President McKin ley's programme forecasts the severe rivalry which Great Britain must ex pect from the United States, amounting as the paper believes to a definite aban donment of extreme protection.

Petition Will Be Filed in London In a Few Cays. New Tork, Sept. 6.- According to the London correspondent of the Her ald, the divorce petition of Lord Fran cis Hope will be filed here in a few days, immediately after his return from the continent, whence he has been summoned in order to sign the peti tion. His solicitors, Messrs. Maddison. de cline to furnish any particulars of the allegations put forward in the petition or to mention the name of the co respondent until the document is filed, when it becomes public property. It is reported that the decision to begin divorce proceedings was an afterthought, owing to the publicity given to May Tohe's movements in Cal ifornia and Yokohama, as well as to paragraphs to the effect that she was about to sue for her freedom. It is understood that one reason for the proceedings not having been begun Booner was owing to the Luke of New castle's opposition to his brother's name being paraded through the courts. The husband had been anxious since his wife left him to begin the suit immediately, but, being deiendent on the head of the family, he refrained out of deference to the duke's wishes. Since the newspaper reports ap peared, however, it is said the Duke of Newcastle has withdrawn his opposi tion. FINISH FIRST FLOOR. Contracts Awarded to Finish Part oj State House.

"I have used coffee many years; in fact, ever since I was a child, until a few months ago I became satisfied that it hurt me caused the miserable drowsy feeling and the bloated condi tion of my body. I was very fleshy all the time, unnaturally fleshy. Since I left off drinking coffee and use Postum Food Coffee, the effect has been wonderful. I feel like a different person. The bloating has all gone. I am very much thinner and more nat ural in shape, have a better appetite and do not feel sleepy and drowsy as before. I shall never use any more reg ular coffee. When I first tried Postum, I was not satisfied with it, but decided that the fault must be my own, for so many people used Postum and liked it that I knew there was some trouble in my preparation of it, so I examined the directions carefully and found that I should boil it long enough to bring out the flavor and the food value. When I prepared it right, it was elegant and I am more than pleased with the delic ious beverage I have for breakfast ev ery morning." Mrs. E. M. Pope, licS 23rd St., Detroit, Mich. ft.

New Yorkers Talk of Kansas Wheat. Many Favor Removing Discount on Grade. Has Become Most Important Factor iu Wheat Market. New Tork, Sept. 6. The Journal of Commerce says: Interest in the pro posed addition to the grades of wheat in order to make more difficult the cor nering of grain in this market is at tracting much attention in local grain circles. The meeting of the trade to be held on September will, it is expect ed, be an excited one, as the committee themselves are divided, and tne mem bers of the trade are taking sides. The question at issue is whether JNO. 2 hard winter wheat shall become de liverable on exactly the same basis as No. 2 red winter and No. 1 hard noitn ern spring, or whether it shall be de liverable at a discount of two cents per bushel in the price. The majority of the committee favor the discount, but there is a. strong minority in favor of equal ity m delivery. The point made oy tne committee is that with such large sup plies of deliverable wheat to draw from corners will be too risky and will not be attempted. Mr. Henry B. Hebert. a member of the committee, is particularly favor- ible to the idea of including No. 2 hard winter wheat in contract grades on the same terms as No. 2 red winter or No. 2 hard spring in other words, without the discount. Mr. D. Van Vleit, another member of the committee, also favored the in clusion of No. 2 hard winter wheat in New York contract grades without any discount. "This No. 2 hard winter wheat," he said, "is chiefly the wheat grown in the southwest, particularly in Kansas and Oklahoma, and to some ex tent in Texas. It is becoming a larger proportion of the crop every year, and will this year amount to something like 0 million or i00 million bushels. It s becoming the surplus winter wheat. The old states from which we used to get No. 2 red, such, for instance, as Illinois, Indiana, Ohio, Pennsylvania and New York, have become so thickly populated that they almost consume all lieu- home-grown wheat, except in oases of special large crops. This tends to eliminate No. 2 red winter from our contracts, so that under current condi tions, most contracts are filled by No. 1 northern spring wheat. The commit tees propose to make No. 2 hard wint jr a good delivery on contract. So far a the intrinsic value of this wheat has concerned in comparison with No. 2 red winter, it has sold on this crop at a premium over No. 2 red during almost the entire life of the crop, and is now selling at a trifling discount. "The European markets, and prac tically all the continent, have a prefer ence for No. 2 hard winter over o. red almost all the time. This No. 2 hard winter partakes very much of the nature Of the northwestern sr:nir wheat, and large quantities of it were last year made into flour by the Min neapolis and northwestern millers in combiTiatin with northwestern spring wheat."

WASHBURN'S COACH. Now Reported That XV. L. Allen Will Supersede Owens. Washburn will probably have a new coach for its football eleven .this year. The man now under consideration by the management is Mr. W. L. Allen, coach for Michigan at Ann Arbor, hi 'S!S and 'fi9 and later with Seattle uni versity in a state league. Mr. Allen is a model built athlete, standing 6 feet 4 and weighing lit.j pounds stripped. The player in ques tion has the best of recommendations' and according to these knows the game from "A to Izzard" and is a capabia player. It is said that Manager Geo. B. Huron and Captain Gill have agreed upon Al len if they find references satisfactory. Manager Huron is in Denver today closing up a tour of the west making dates and looking after players. Layne of Arkansas City is one new man with much the build of Allen. Roberts has been seen also. Wade Moore will mart age the Manhattan team this year and will not be seen, of course, with Wash burn. There is a story out thatBennie Owen made an opposition eleven to Washburn a proposition to coach for them this year and take two of Washburn's star players with him, if a certain salary rt'ere given. The statement may or may not be true but it is given some cred ence at Washburn and has not improv ed Owen's chances to act aa coach for the Blue thi3 fall. Yesterday afternoon, Clark Rr-ed. Stewart brothers, Ritchie and Crook of last year's Ottawa were out for prac tice. Allen gave some pointers ,n catching punts, starts and spent consid erable time with quarterback.

Createst astonishment at the news of the attempted assassination of Presi dent McKinley was the reception of the news among the state officers. The in formation was given "them by a State Journal reporter before the extras got there. Every one expressed the pro foundest sorrow and the acutest fear that the attempt be successful and William McKinley become the third martyred president. Morton Albaugh, state bank commis sioner and chairman of the state Re !H President McKin Sey Who Was Assassin STn a HP fin Hands With ti i in i X Ml vr u u publican committee, said: "It is almost impossible to believe the news. I cannot conceive how any one could be pro voked to such an act. If he is killed, it .means that he was more of a martyr than the great Lincoln. For there is no contention on hand now. What could provoke the attack. If it had been at a time of high feeling-, or the time of the Spanish war. I could con ceive some passion for the act, but at this time when everything is most peaceful it is incomprehensible. Attorney General Codard: "William McKinley as a statesman and politician has been held in more esteem than any president since Washington. I should not hesitate to say he is the best presi dent we have ever had. I certainly hope we shall not have to change that 'is' to the past tense." Auditor Cole: "Do you know that when I saw that picture in the State Journal last niglit of Mr. and Mrs. Mc Kinley together, I had a presentiment. I thought of their going to Buffalo, and I thought of the danger. I think it must have been some insane person." ABOUT THE PRESIDENT. Brilliant Kecord of the Assassins Victim. William McKinley was born In Niles, Ohio, February 2t, 1844. He enlisted in the Twenty-third Ohio and was must ered out in 1S65 as a brevet major. He was elected to tne house of representa tives from Ohio in 1870, and served 14 years with one brief interval, being de feated in 1890 as the result of a "gerry mander." At the national Republican conventions of 1SS8 and 1S92 his name was mentioned but he declined to be a candidate for the presidential nomi nation. He was elected governor of Ohio in 1891 by a plurality of 21,511, and re-elected in 1833 by a plurality of 81, 995. He was elected as the twenty-fifth president of the United States Novem ber 3, 1S96, and re-elected last No vember. HIS PERSONAL LIFE. Such is the brief outline of the life of the twenty-fifth president. William McKinley has been called the representative American. In features, thought, and in life he has probably merited the term better than any of the other twenty-four men who have mounted the steps of the White House as president of the United Statesmffek Ing the supreme military eminence achieved by Grant, the sublime quail ties that are associated with the mem ory of Lincoln, and the greatness of Washington, there is but one other, Garfield, so nearly typical of the repre sentative average American as the present president and nominee. McKinley's life until the day In June, 1S96, when he was nominated for presi dent wa3 not much different from that of any other of his fellow citizens who had arisen to prominence and enjoyed honor at the hands of the public. He had a creditable war record: he was a congressman, re-elected seven times, and had been governor of Ohio for two terms. His career had not bean me teoric, and his chief claim to prom! nence lay In the fact that he was the greatest living exponent of the protec tion side of the great economic question that was then dividing the two great parties. A sober, serious life of earnest pur pose that has been the life of William McKinley. According to family tradi tions he came of Scotch and Irish an cestry, and he is popularly supposed to have combined in him the character istic qualities of both races. James McKinley. the president's an- if' Shot Today at Buffalo. cestor, landed in this country about 174o, and settled later in Chanceford township, York county, Pa., where David McKinley, great grandfather of the president, was born in May, 1755. The records of the pension bureau show that David McKinley was a soldier in the revolution and participated In the capture of Paulus Hook and the en gagements of Amboy and Chester Hill. He died in 1S40, in Ohio, at the age of 85. A son, James McKinley, moved to Columbiana county, Ohio, in 1809. At that time W'illiam, his son, born in Pine township, Mercer county. Pa., was but two years old. Jamsr McKinley was an iron manufacturer or furnace man and his son William followed the same vocation. When William was 22 years old he married Nancy Allison of Canton, O., the couple having nine chil dren, of whom William Jr the presi dent, was the seventh. iWilliam Mc Kinley, Sr., died in November, 1892. hav ing lived to witness the rise of his son from a school teacher through posts of national prominence to lie governor of Ohio. The president was bora at Niles, Trumbull county, Ohio, on January 2'.K 1843. He attended the public schools in that town until he wk nine years old, at which time his fat;:-.n- moved -to Poland, Mahoning count, Ohio, where the future president entered Union seminary, pursuing his studies in taat institution until he was Jt years old. He is said to iiave excelled in mathe matics and languages, and to have bested all his fellow stuiie.pt In debat ing the public questions s day. In I860 he was sent to ,-jheny col lege, Meadeville, Pennsylvania, but gave up the course after e few months on account of poor hefeHh. After a period of rest he became a teacher 'in the public schools of the Kerr district. near Poland, having joirl the Metho dist Episcopal church in i-otend. In the spring of 1861 he was ex clerk in the postoffice at Poland, which position he gave up to enlist at Colutmbus on June 11 of that year, in company E of the Twenty-third Ohio volunteer infantry. William McKinley twice refused the nomination for president previous to the time when, on the first ballot at the Republican national convention held in St. Louis in 1896, he was finally nomi nated and accepted. His first refusal was at the convention of 1888, when he supported Mr. Sherman, to whom he was pledged, forbidding- the use of his name at a time when his formal as sent or negative acquiescence was all that was necessary to secure his own nomination. At the ensuing convention of 1S92 he received 182 votes for the nomination, his name not having been presented, as It was well known he was an ardent supporter of Harrison and would immediately withdraw his name should it have been proposed. Being the permanent chairman of the convention he was great ly embarrassed by the efforts of his sup porters to make him the presidential can didate, and, leaving the chair on the an nouncement of the result of the first bal lot, made a motion to make tiie nomina tion of Mr. Harrison unanimous. His mo tion was carried. On April 16. 1S90, McKinley introduce into the house the g-eneral tariff meyt(i'fi which has sine been known a the ''Mc Kinley bill." For four njmths the meas ure had been under crms. deration. au! every interest in the cC'inlry. including manufacturers, laborers, merchants, far mers, importers, agents. fre traders and protectionists, had been freely, fully and patiently heard, the minty having been given as good an opportunity to present their views as had the majority. His speech on May 7 in support of the meas ure sustained his reputation as an orator and dispassionate advocate, and seldom has such hearty applause been accorded any leader a-s greeted him upon the con clusion of his address. Hl record m congress was an en viable one. He spoke in behalf of and ad vocated the eight hour day. and proposed anti-trust and anti-option laws. His abid ing faith is in the people, and his personal popularity has been unbounded. His speeches have been remarkable for their good nense, originality, versatility and ef fectiveness. In, his campaigns, both, as gubernatorial and presidential candidate, his mental resources and powers of physi cal endurance have been put to the sorest trials, but no hearer has ever left tha scene of a public address by him without bearing away some new text for contem pln 1 ion. McKinley's home life has been that of the representative American. and almost ideal. He married on January IS. 1S71, Miss Ida Saxton, granddaughter of John Saxton. for sixty years editor of the Ohio Repository, still published at Canton. Two girls. Christine Ida and Kate, were born to Mr. and Mrs. McKin ley, both of them dying at early ages. FOB HER BIRTHRIGHT. An Emporia Woman Files aSen sational Suit. Emporia. Sept. 6.

Skull Had Been Crushed by Heavy Blow. a HOUSE THEN FIRED. Assassin Hoped to Destroy Evi dence of Crime. Whole Place in Flames When Neighbors Came. BODY WAS IN BED Had Ueen Carefully Covered With Clothing. Woman Left Her Money Writh Neighbor on Day .Before. Nature of WTound Precludes the Suicide Theory. The charred and unrecognizable re mains of Miss Eolah Hounsom, with the s4ull fractured, were found In the runins of her home at 132 North Klein street which was completely destroyed by a mysterious fire at an early hour this morning. She had been murdered and the house had been set on fire. Miss Hounsom lived alone in the house and all the circumstances sur rounding her death point to foul play. Ehe had undoubtedly been murdered and the house set on fire by her assail ants in hopes of cremating the .Ijody and destroying all trace of the bloody The entire left side of the woman's skull is factured. The fracture could not have been caused by the falling timbers for the wound is too pro nounced. The body was found by the firemen in the ruins of the bed and covered with several pieces of heavy bed clothing which enveloped her head and entire body. It is likely that the woman's skull was crushed by a weapon in the hands of some one who. after felling his victim, dragged the body to the bed, covered it up and set fire to the house. The entire inside of the house was a roaring furnace of flames when the fire The Mtirdered Woman, from a Photo graph Found in the Ruin3. was discovered. The three rooms of the house were all burning with equal fierceness which would indicate that the house was set on fire in several places. The fact that Miss Hounsom's body was found in the bed .and heavily covered with bed clothing leaves littla doubt of a foul murder. Miss Hounsom would have been awakened by the flames, had she been alive when the fire started, and would have 'been able to at least crawl from the bed to another part of the house before she was suffocated. WINDOW'S NEAR BED. The bed occupied by Miss Hounsom was in the northeast corner of the house in a small bedroom. There was a window on the east side of the house and another on the north. The bed was in the corner between the two windows and a person could by ewariing not more than three feet, have escaped from the house by either window. The house was a one story frame building and it was but a stepkfrOm the window sills to the ground. Dr. H. B. Hogeboora, the county cor oner, made an investigation of the mysterious desth this morning and ex amined the body. "I found the left side of the skull completely crushed," said Dr. HoKeboom. "The fracture was caused by a heavy blow on the left side of the skull near the templar bone. The fracture is severe and was caused by an exceedingly heavy blow. The tim bers of the roof of the house could not have caused it for the building was small and the timbers light and such a fracture could not have been caused by falling timber. The woman had been lying on her side when the blow was struck and. when found she was on her MISS EOLAH HOUNSOM, p I" j back. I don't believe that the fracture was caused by falling timbers." By the time the parts of the roof of the house and the walls fell the fire had been burning so fiercely that Miss Hounsom would have been dead some time and could not have changed her position in the bed from lying on her right side to a position flat on her back. The bed clothing was so heavy that it Undoubtedly held her in the same posi tion when the bed was burned awa and her body and the mattress, which was but partly burned, and the bed clothing slipped to the floor. The night was not particularly cool and it does not seem that the woman would have had so much clothing over her unless she had been foully dealt with and the bed clothing heaped upon her by those who placed her body in the bed. COULD NOT HAVE BEEN SUICIDE. Miss Hounsom could not have com mitted suicide though there are circum stances that point to that theory. Thursday afternoon Miss Hounsom took $60 and some trinkets to Mrs. H. C. Odtinger, at 307 Lime street, and asked her to keep them for her, as she said she was about to move and might lose them. Miss Hounsom and Mrs. Odtinger have been close friends for several years. Miss Hounsom also gave her a letter and two cents in money. The letter was addressed to Miss Niota Hounsom, Glen wood. Missouri, Schuy ler county. The letter was to a sister of tiie dead woman. She asked Mrs. Odtinger to take the letter and with the two pennies to buy a postage stamp and mail it for her in the morning as she did not expect to see the postman. The letter was closely written in pencil on both sides of two sheets of common letter paper. The envelope was un sealed. The letter was cheerful and gave all the news of the mutual friends of the sisters. In the letter Miss Houn som explained that the house she lived in had been sold and that she was look ing for a new place to live, but there was no hint of suicide. The house where Miss Hounsom lived was among those bought by the Com mercial club to make room for the new Santa Fe shops. With the exception of a Russian family living in a house at the rear of the same lot Miss Hounsom had no neighbors as the rest of the houses had been vacated and were be ing moved away. In the letter -to her sister Miss "Hounsom explained that she wanted to secure a place where there was a barn so she could keep her cow. The sale of milk was her only means of making a living except doing some light sewing. She said in the letter that her brother, Elmer E. Hounsom, who owns several houses in that part of town, had offered her a house. She said that there was no barn on the place and that she had rented the house house and given a receipt for the rent she had received and that with the rent she expected to hire a house that had a barn vri' sr. She said that her brother iected to that arrange- rent ant-i old the people occupy ing the lSus'e"td' pay him the rent. They told him that they had paid Miss Hounsom. The brother said that he owned the house and that .they must move out. Miss Hounsom explained in the letter that she did not kiicw where she would go. QUEER MESSAGES LEFT. Besides the StiO in money which Miss I Jlounsom left with Mrs. Odtinger was a dox containing-Bomg"l"ifiiiwy paper, half a dozen silver spoons, a necklace and locket, three inexpensive breast pins, two ring, and some small trink ets. On the top of the box containing the money was pasted a little slip of paper which read as follows: "Sadie, the ring is yours." Written on the out side of an envelope in the other box was the following: "Amy, the money is yours. Don't let anybody have it. Send the other things to Niota if any thing should happen to me. I can trust you." This indicates that she mignt have anticipated death. Miss Hounsom had been in the habit of having her friends keep her money and trinkets for her. At times Mrs. Edward Dustin, 131 North Branner kept them. The note explaining what should be done with her money stems more like a crude will that had been made without any thought of commit ting suicide rather than the instruc tions written by a suicide on the eve of a premeditated deed. If Miss Houn som was murdered the deed may have been prompted by the knowledge that she had some money in her posses sion. Frank Dyche. a colored laborer who has been working with the men mov ing the houses, left his ax on the porch inside the screen door of Miss Houn som's home Thursday at the close of his day's work. He saw her later and told her he would call for the ax in the morning. She said it would be all right at her home. The most tangible clue toward the suicide theory is that last evening Miss Hounsom took the ax to a neighbor's and left it with instruc tions that it be given to. Dyche if she was not at home when he came in the morning. NEIGHBORS WERE NOT AROUSED. The house at the rear of Miss Houn som's place is occupied by a Russian named Daniel Ferlig, who is employed at the Wolff packing house. The house occupied by Ferlig was east of that oc cupied by Miss Hounsom. There is no door nor window on the west side of the Ferlig home, which is the side toward the house that was occupied by Miss Hounsom. Mrs. Ferlig. who can speak only in' Russian said, this morning that she nor her husband had any knowledge of the fire until they were awakened by the people who discovered the fire. When they were awakened the house was an entire mass of flames. Mrs. Ferlig said that Miss Hounsom had no gasoline stove. Several people passed the house late last night. Miss Houn som must have been in bed as there was no light burning. Miss Hounsom's house had been plac ed on skids yesterday afternoon by the house movers employed by H. G.Tandy. Miss Hounsom was told by Tandy and bis workmen yesterday that the house would he moved soon, today perhaps, and that she would have to find another place to live. She seemed somewhat excited and said that while her brother owned several houses that he had not given her a suitable one to live in and that she would not move out until she had a place to so to. ALARM OF FIRE AT 2:13. The alarm of fire was turned in from box 121 at 2:13 o'clock this morning and when the firemen reached the house it was in ruins except for a few uptight pieces, which were nearly burned away, but were still standing. All the tire men could do was to wet down the ruins. Some of the neighbors thought that Miss Hounsom might be in the building as she had not been seen. The firemen made a search in the ruins and found the body in the debris of a bed in the rear room. The discovery was made by Captain John Rhodes of sta tion No. 3. The body was covered w ith several pieces of bed clothing. The bed clothing was so wet and heavy ttnit Rhodes, could not remove it from thn body alone and he called several lire men to his assistance. When found tit" body was lying at full length. Tne b it leg below the knee was entirely burned, away, the arms were in a cramp d position. The body was burned beyond recognition. Miss Hounsom was tho sister of Elmer K. Hounsom, a painter, who lives at the corner of Chandler and Greeley streets. Mr. Hounsom lived with his sister until a year asro when he was married und moved into another house two blocks away. Mrs. Odtinsrer said this morninir that she had known Miss Hounsom for sev eral years, and used to live in the sam--house with her. "Miss Hounsom lam-; here yesterday afternoon and brouRnt the money and things for me to kec;. She said she would have to find an other house to live in, anil that she wat afraid that in moving the money small things might be lost. She wanted me to keep them for her for a few days.
