Xen'S of the disastrous flirht between troops of the Ninth infantry and the insurgents in the island of Samar was sent promptly by General Hughes, commanding in tr.at Island, to General Chaffee at Ma rina, and by him transmitted to the war department. General Corbin. rea lizing us importance, at once made it pubiie, aftr sending a t ipy to the Wtdte House. The news created a sen faiiou In official circles. It was tile lirst severe reverse that has occurred for" a long time. Slid the oflk ial.s were not unprepared for news of just tiiis cliar fretr from Samar. in whi-h the revolu t.on started by Anuinaldo still con- t'.n lies. Samar is a country about as large ns th state of C'iiio an..l tire American fcr s of occuvatit)n number in all be teeti 2.9 and t'.'iO men. Tiiese are ist ri ou ted amonc- variius posts in the j-iaici, a laiye number being locat"d at til1 more important centers. Spain never mad- any efforts to occupy Samar and it only has been for prob ably three months' past that the United Si ites has undertaken the work.

The i;saster to Company C, of the Ninth Infantry, occurred, it is believed, while it was engaged in an expedition to tleur 1 he lountry of roving bands of these insui cents. The fai t tint tile Ameri cans were attacked while at breakfast indicates the daring and pluck of tile insurgents. hiini'-ivitely on receipt of the dis ratch Adjutant General Corbin cabled ier.erai Chaffee to sen:! a complete re port of the right and a list of the casual Ties A weii knov n oilieiai of the gov ernment, in speaking of this outbreak ::gainst the American forces in Samar, frctid lie regarded it as a consequence of 1a uasaaiua tion d" President McKin-1-y. in all probability the insurgents had received, he said, oniy nieaser re ts I'f th tra c-dy and posstbly be lte ea the shooting to be the result of F'.-rr.e -.neejlaroutb! eak against the pres lir.t.

Iiuring his trip General Corbin visited tiie isiand of Samar. It was just seven vceeiis ago last night, he remarked, v.het discussing the news of the dis aster to company C, that he was talk ing with General Hughes at lloiio about the condition of affairs in the islands. The point where company C was sur prised, he said, was a considerable dis tance from General Hughes' head quarters, lie was not surprised at the attack on the I mops in Samar, as that was one of the islands considered par ticularly trot blcsome. The natives along the coast are friendly, but many of those In the interior are regarded as dangerous gu"irillas. As corrected, the dispatch shows that Company C of the Ninth suitered the disaster. The serious discrepancy be tween the original and the corrected dispatches, however, is that the latter indicates that the commissioned officers of the company are missing, perhaps killed, while the former indicated that they escaped. The father of Captain Connell resides in New York City. He telegraphed to the war department today that he is in receipts of a cablegram from the quar termaster of the Ninth regiment say ing that his sor had been killed in ac tion. He asks for confirmation of the dispatch from the war department, but tiie otiicials here are unable at this time to confirm the information. HISTORY OF THE NINTH. The Ninth infantry has had an unus ually active career, and has been most unfortunate in suffering heavy casual ties. The organization served for 17 years in the far west. It was orderetT east from Arizona in lsal and located in New Y'ork. In 194 it was sent to Chicago to assist in quelling the riots there. When the war with Spain broke out it was one of tiie first regiments or dered to Cuba, and was in the Santiago campaign. It was in the San Juan Hi 11 fight, and wnen the city surrendered it mus selec ted to occupy it. It remained there until August. lv8, and was then sent to the United States for a few weeks only. It was forwarded to the Philippines, and Col. iascuna was at th head of the regiment when he was killed before the walls of Tien Tsin. CONNELL WAS A NEW YORK MAN. New Y'ork, Sept. 130. Captain Thomas W. Connell, who commanded the un fortunate company of the Ninth U. S. infantry which was almost annihilated in Samar and who is one of the 24 sur vivors, is a New Y'ork man and is a brother of Assistant District Attorney John J. Connell.. He is 2S years of age. graduated from West Point in l$i4, and was appointed to trie Ninth Infantry immediately on graduation. In IMS the regiment was sent to Cuba, where Lieutenant Connell was made brevet captain. After the war with Spain the Ninth regiment was sent to Manila and on the outbreak of hostilities in China was sent there. Toang Connell distinguished himself at the storming of Pekin and in last Feb ruary was made capain of Company C. The regiment was moved back from China to the Philippines several months ago. Captain Council's most recent let ter to hi;? parents was dated August 14, fvom Samar. INSURGENTS LOST 140. Manila, 'ej.it. 30. Gen. Hughes f-otn the isiand of Samar, reports the arrival of Sergeant Markley and one private at Tannan from the fight at Bal angiga, where over 40 men of company C, Ninth infantry were killed by insur gents, who attacked the troops while at breakfast Saturday last. The men who have reached Tannan say that the offi cers of the company who were at lirst reported to have escaped were killed with the majority of the company. The troops were attacked, while unprepared, by 4c0 Bolo men, of whom the Ameri cans killed about 140. Many of the sol diers weie killed in their quarters be fore they had time to grasp their rifles. Gen. Hughes is going to the scene of the disaster and will personally com mand the troops. A new branch of the Katipunan has been discovered at Tarlac, capital of the province of that name. The object of the society is the slaughter of the whites. Marcelino Mariville, president of Banoang, is the chief of the new branch, which includes members of the native constabulary, who were recently armed. Pne policeman admits that he was taxed a dollar and was ordered to make bolos. A regular collection has been made by the organization from the natives, either by persuasion or threats, and an uprising had been planned for an ear ly date. The conditions in Tayantj (Tayabas?) and Bntangas, are not reassuring. The worst form of guerrilla warfare pre vails there. The Insurgent forces are distributed, under cover, along every road and trail, and wait for travelers in ambush- The insurgent leader Ca ballos who formerly belonged to Gen. Cailles' command, but who refused to surrender with Caiiles is retreating to the mountains. The main forces of the insurgents are scattered in bands over the province, where they dig up rifles when there is an opportunity to use them. OFFICERS KILLED. Washlnsrton. Pepit. 30. In addition to the enlisted men, three commissioned otiieers ol company C, Ninth infantry, are supposed now, to have been killed in the action in Samar, Philippine isl ands, last Saturday. The C'llicers are: Captain Thomas W. Connell, First Lieuteant Edward A. Bumpus, Major Surgeon R. S. Crlswold. A question having arisen as to the ac curacy f the cablegram received at the war department from Gen. Chaffee, the cable company was directed to re peat it. The repetition disclosed some inaccurs cies that materially change the message. As corrected the dispatch ready s: AMENDED REPORT. Manila, Sept. 30. To Adjutant Gen eral.

Bean Low Talks About Things While at Washington. Senator Harris Tells Roosevelt That People Believe in Jliui. Washington, D. C, Sept. 30. "Will B. H. Tracy be appointed United States district attorney for Kansas'.'" was the all-absorbing topic among the Kansas politicians at the national capital last week. This matter had been one of constant conjecture until Saturday, when it was settled against Tracy. It is generally known that Mr. Tracy's appointment had been most vigorously pressed by Senator Burton during the past few months, and that the former's selection was blockaded by the refusal of Attorney General Knox to recom mend the appointment in view of spe cific charges being filed against Mr. Tracy. Mr. Tracy's case was again re ferred to the department of justice after Mr. McKinley's death, but the attor ney .general again refused to make" any recommendation for the appointment. Senator Burton, National Committee man Mulvane and Mr. Tracy came to Washington lat week, and all three made a formal call on President Roose velt Tuesday forenoon. At that time there was no reference made to Mr. Tracy's case. They called on the at torney general on Wednesday, and from the department of justice the party called at the White House and laid the case bwfore the .resident. Mr. Roosevelt asked to consider the mat ter, and an appointment was arranged with the Kansas delegation to meet at the executive mansion later, with the result announced Saturday. Speculation has it now that Senator Burton may recommend either George Uniker. of Lawrence, speaker of the Kansas house of representatives, or Mr. Dean, of Marion. Should either of these gentlemen be named and prop erly recommended, the appointment is likely to follow immediately. The presence of Senator Burton and National Committeeman Mulvane in Washington at this time has given rise to the supposition that President Roosevelt will be asked to consider the removal of Fourth Assistant Post master General J. L. Bvistow and As sistant Secretary Thomas Ryan of the Interior department. Also that an early change in the office of commissioner of pensions will be pressed, as well as the removal of Cyrus Leland as pension agent at Topeka. The people of Kansas need have no serious concern in any one of these cases. There is one thing certain that can be depended upon, and that is that each and every one of these officials will hold over. The politicians here have great con fidence in President Roosevelt living up to the promise of carrying out tiie pol icy pursued by Sir. MeKinley and his wishes not only in matters of interest to the country at large, but in the va rious state affairs. The members of the cabinet and Secretary Cortelyou are well versed with Mr. McKinley's wishes affecting these officials, and It is well understod that President Roosevelt will act in accordance with their knowledge of each case. As concerns Bristow, Ryan and Le land. it may be truthfully said that all three of these gentlemen were warm p.ersonal friends of the late president, and it is understood that they will be permitted to serve out the balance of Mr. McKinley's term. As to a change in the office of pension commissioner the death of President MeKinley has wrought a peculiar c hange In the situation. It is claimed to be an indefinite proposition wdth Pres ident Roosevelt as to when he may make a change, or whether such will be considered for some time to come. Mr. Roosevelt feels that to make a change in the commissionership of the bureau at this time would lead the im pression that he endorsed a change in the pension policy: that he would be looked upon as In favor of more liberal pensions. He has already indicated that he is heartily in favor of pursuing the pres ent pension policy without any change whatever. This means that H. Clay Evans is to remain for an indefinite time. Just when a successor wili be considered cannot be predicted. An other thing is, that it is not certain that when the change comes that the appointment will go to Kansas. How ever, as it is well known that it was Mr. McKinley's intention to favor Kan sas with this appointment, it is reason able to believe that President Roosevelt will not deviate from the rule that he has started out to pursue in following Mr. McKinley's desires in all things that are practical. Kansas can depend on one thing, and that is, if the state gets the appoint ment of pension commissioner when the change comes, it will undoubtedly go to Judge S. R. Peters of Newton. There are certain reasons given why Col. Dick Blue would not have received the appointment had Mr. MeKinley lived, and of course for the same rea sons would not in the future be selected by President Roosevelt. Representative Chester I. Long, of the Big Seventh Kansas district, has been in the city the past week. He returned here after attending the president's funeral at Canton, and has been busily engaged with business before the war, navy. postoITire and agricultural de partments. He called at the White House to pay his respects to President Willam Allen White of Emporia, whose fame as a writer is becoming re nowned the country over, has been an honored guest in Washington during the week. He is here on a trip of busi ness and pleasure combined. He was sent here by the Saturday Evening Post of Philadelphia to write a character sketch of Admiral Schley and a general story of the naval controversy. Inci dentally Mr. White paid a visit to Pres ident Roosevelt, and since has dined several times at the White House as the president's guest. Mr. White is a close warm personal friend of President Roosevelt, which relation resulted from his association with the president when he accompanied him on his tour of the western states this summer and on pre vious occosions. The editor of the Cen tury Magazine recently requested the president to recommend some friend of write a life sketch of him, to be pub lished in that magazine in serial forrw. President Roosevelt at once recom mended Mr. White for the assignment. The latter has been tendered the offer, but has not as yet accepted it. Clara Barton, president Red Cross so ciety, in her report of the work done by that society for the Galveston flood sufferers, compliments very highly the assistance rendered by Gen. W. H. Sears, of Lawrence, Kas. Mr. Sears chanced to be in AYashington at the time of the Galveston disaster, and be ing a warm personal friend of Miss Barton, was pressed into service for the occasion. Among other things the re port says: "It had never occurred to me that, 'relief for Galveston' did not include all storm sufferers; but I learned that Gal veston island was Galveston, and that legally it had no authority to distribute relief outside; consequently nothing could go from it to those mainland suf ferers. This was doubtless correct, but it was another of those cases where I could not quite reconcile law and equity in my mind, and knowing little of the former I have tried to keep as close to the "lines of the latter as pos sible. "I commissioned Gen. W. H. Sears at once to investigate. As an old cam paigner he proved a most fortunate se lection. The reports he brought back Li- i "7 GEN. W. H. 1it",AR3. at the end of two days were a marvel He also brought the exact needs of some hundred familes, comprising over 700 persons, with articles specified, w hich were all put up In piackages and sent within the next two days. Family affliction and death at this moment calling General Sears from the field, his place was fillad by Mr. Herbert W. Lewis, assisted by Mr. R. B. Marsh." General Seal's is also credited with being very largely instrumental in se curing the flnai passage by congress of the bill for the incorporation and pro tection of the American National fied Cros3. "Drawing only a blank instead of a lot of land in Oklahoma, my old-time opponent for congress, Jerry Simpson, continues to r?side in Wichita, where he is a live stock commissioner," said Representative Chester I. Long, of Med icine Lodge, yesterday at the Raleigh. "I know it was heralded about the country that he intended to settle in Oklahoma and run for congress, but Jerry seems to have decided that it would be preferable to remain in his old haunts rather than branch out Into a. new territory where he could not get land. His newspaper enterprise, the Bayonet, foundered. "Kansas has no politics this year," continued Mr. Long. "The legislature provided for elections in counties on the year of the general election, and so this fall there is nothing but the choice of a few officers in the townships. The Democrats are still dickering to get the Populists back into their ranks. It is hardly necessary for me to say that President Roosevelt is very popular there. We insisted last year- on nomi nating him for vice president at Phila delphia. "The people of Kansas express great faith in the intelligence, integrity, pa triotism and wisdom of President Roosevelt." Mr. Dean R. Low, of Topeka, general manager of the live stock division of the Rock Island railroad, and an en thusiastic breeder of fine horses, was in the city last w-eek. He has attended many horse shows, is an official of the national association, and was a judge at many of last year's events. This year he has been at New Orleans. Mem phis, Jefferson City, Springfield, Mo., Glenwood Springs, Col., and Denver, and has Just returned from Des Moines, where he expects next to exhibit, his string of horses, which are probably the finest in the country. "The horse shows this year," said he, "have proven great successes and the attendance has been large. These events are of great bene fit. They bring people together and in struct purchasers of horseflesh and rigs what is the correct thing to have. It should be remembered that the bent and the proper thing rarely costs more than something improper or inferior." Mr. Low says the shipments of cat tle this year are very large. "By Jan uary," he added, "we shall have our road built down to El Paso, Texaj, which will cut off 13 hours from the fastest trip that can now be made be tween the Atlantic coast and San Fran cisco. There is no tangent on thi new line, where the tracks stretch away 112 miles, straight as an arrow, with steel rails weighing 80 pounds to the foot. Another tangent is 98 miles long without a bend, and another 96 miles long. There is nothing like it else where in the world." Mr. Low left for New York city to spend several days. Among the callers at the White House last week to pay their respects to Pres ident Roosevelt were the following Continued on Seventh Page.) STREAMOFIslOflEY Slight Abatement in Flow To ward U. S. Treasury Reduction of Taxes Offset by Increased Business. LYMAN J. GAGE TALKS. Says Reduced Expenses Cause Surplus to Grow. Bond Purchases Have Afforded Important Relief. Chicago, Sept 30. Secretary of the Treasury Gage, who is staying a few days at the home of his son in Evans ton, before going to Colorado to spend his Vacation ,said in regard to the pres ent large surplus in the treasury: "The prosperous condition of the country must be most gratifying. The deorease in the expenditure of the gov ernment, however, is a salient factor in the increase in the surplus in the la3t three months. From June 30, 1901, to September 26, the revenue ajnounted to $136,000,000. The expenditures during this time were $121,000,000. This left an excess of nearly $15,000,000. During the same period iR 1900, the receipts were $139,000,000 and the expenditures the same. Of course, the fact must be ta ken into consideration that the revenue of tire last three months was under the IcAvered schedule, sc that the $136,000, 000 receipts -this year represents alarger amount of business transacted than during the same time last year when the $139,000,000 was received. "It was estimated when the present revised .revenue law was put in force on July 1, that the revenue receipts since that time would have been $5,100, 000 less or $12H, 500.0000. Notwithstanding the reduction in taxes, the receipts have diminished by less than (13,000,000 from what taey were a year ago, while the expenditures have decreased by over $15,000,000 for the same period. "Up to the present time, however, the accumulation of money in the treasury, which would e the natural effect at this time, has been more than overcome by the purchase of bonds in the open market by the government, During the last three months there have been bought bonds having a face value of $li,00,000, for which over $24,000,000 was paid. The actual cash in the treasury has thus been reduced, and the present excess of revenues over expenditures taken care of for the time eing." EVAfJSJLATED. "Fighting Bob" Will Soon be Called Upon To Testify Before the Schley Court of Inquiry. Washington, Sept. 30. The bright sunshine and fresh air had the effect of bringing all the members of the Schley court of inquiry and the attend ants upon it, to the court building rather earliec -than usual this morning. Admiral Dewey was, as is his custom, one of the first members to put in an appearance, but early as was his ar rival, he found Judge Advocate Lemly and his assistant Mr. Hanna, there in advance of himself. The admiral as usual wore only citizen's clothing upon his arrival, but he was soon transform ed in a gallant tar by donning his service uniform. Captain Lemly and Mr. Hanna were engaged from the early morning in preparing the program for the day. There is much in the way of detail to be done each morning and they have fallen into the habit of com ing direct to the court building, where they have their list of witnesses, files of documents, printed matter, and ev erything else bearing upon the case. They began the day's proceedings ac cording to custom, by recalling the wit nesses of previous days. Captain Lemly's programme provided that tiiese should be followed by Com mander Miller, who commanded the collier Merrimac in the early part of the Santiago campaign; Captain Jewell, who commanded the scout, Minneapolis Lieutenant Commander Siiarp, who had charge of the much-talked-of Vixen and Lieutenant J. G. Doyle of the Brooklyn. It was also contemplated to call at a very early period Rear Ad miral Evans, who was captain of the Iowa. Much interest was manifested in the prospect of seeing Captain Mil ler, who, it will be remembered, surren dered with great reluctance, the command of the Merrimac to Lieuten ant Hobson, who afterwards sunk the collier in the mouth of Santiago harbor. While Commander Southerland was on the stand, he was asked by the court whether if the fleet of Cervera had been in the harbor at Cienfuegos it could have been seen by the vessels blockad ing the port. He replied: "I cannot definitely say. Not unless they had anchored in the lower harbor, just inside the entrance in the deep water where the schooner to which I referred before, was anchored. I do not believe they would have anchored in that spot." The first new witness of the day was Commander James M. Miller, -who wim in command of the collier Merrimac, while that vessel was a part of Ad miral Schley's flying squadron. AN OIL STOVE FIRE. Blaze Started by Fire Too Near tha Wall. The fire department was called at 7 o'clock this morning for a fire in the residence of the late Dr. C. H. Guibor, 1015 Harrison street. An oil stove, which stood close to the wall in the kitchen, overheated the woodwork and started a fire in the walls of the house. The blaze was ex tinguished by the chemical engine. Some of the walls had to be cut into in order to get at the fire, and the damage was estimated at $50. Temperatures of Large Cities.

It Will Come Up For Hearing Tomorrow. The hearing of the application of the gas company for an injunction to pre vent the city from enforcing the dollar gas ordinance, which was to have oc curred this morning in the United States circuit eourt, was postponeci till Tuesday at 2 o'clock, owing to the fact that Judge Hook was unable to come to Topeka today. He has been hearing court for Judge Phillips, who has been sick. Judge Hook will arrive in Topeka Tuesday noon, and Clerk George F. Sharitt states that tire gas case will certainly come up at 2 o'clock. That i-3 the only business which Judge Hook has in Topeka. Owing to the postponement of the hearing of the case, the men who are agitating the plan to have a mass meeting of citizens to agree on concer ted action concerning the dollar gas or dinance, have decided to wait till the case comes up in court, and the situa tion has developed a little more before calling the meeting. HOUSES ARE SOLD Last of Those on Santa Fe Land Disposed Of. Total Received For Them Will Be Over 1700. As a result of the sale of the nine houses remaining on the Santa Fe land purchase, the city will realize the sum, of $1,721.50, and possibly a little more. About sixty bids on the houses and a few outbuildings were received. W. S. Bergundthal, who is the agent for the city in the disposal of the houses and purchase of the land, states that the amount received was more than he ex pected. The following were the houses sold, the purchaser, and the price paid: 102 Klein street, H. F. Stover $236.00 10B Klein, W. G. Tandy 215. 0 112 Klein, W. G. Tandy 6S.00 116 Klein, Fred Fensky 221.00 ?1'4 Klein, C. H. Wheeler 87.00 22S Klein, S. M. Evans 77 5) 101 Branner, Mrs. Gibbons 35". 0) 103 Branner, W. G. Tandy 77.00 121 Branner, W. G. Tandy 265.00 Barns and outbuildings, about... 100.00 The bids on the houses were received tip to Saturday night, and this morning Mr. Bergundthal received over $500 in cash from successful bidders who came to claim their purchases. The competition for the houses was "something fierce." On the house at 101 Branner there were 13 bids, ranging from $75 to $355. Four bids of over $3io were received. They were $301, $315, $325 and the winning bid of $355. All the kouses sold will be moved off the land at once, and the land turned over to the Santa Fe. The deal is prac tically closed now, with the exception of the sale of the bonds. At the next meeting of the council Mr. Bergund thal will make a full report to the council of his expenditures and re ceipts. This report wdll show exactly the amount of bonds which will have to be sold to pay the bill. It is thought that out of the $70,000 authorized, not over $60,000 w ill be needed. The amount wdll probably be about $58,000. CAN'T HAVE TAYLOR. Gov. Durbin Will Refuse the Keutuckians' Request. Indianapolis. Sept. 30. Arthur Goebcl and the' other men from Kentucky, who on Saturday applied to the governor for a requisition for the return of W. S. Taylor and Charles Finley called at the governor's oiiice at 10 o'clock today; Governor Durbin told them to return this afternoon. The governor's secre tary said it was probable that no for mal answer would be made by the gov ernor today but it is practically under stood that he will decline to consent to the return of the two men. HEISTAND CASE BEGINS. Committee of Which Harris is a Mem ber, Sits. Washington, Sept. 30. The senate subcommittee of the committee on mil itary affairs, consisting of Senators Hawley, chairman: Proctor, Burrows, Cockrell and Harris, at 11 o'clock today began the investigation of charges against Lieutenant Colonel H. O. S. Heistand of the army, in connection with the alleged Manila hemp combina tion. The charges were preferred by Major E. L. Hawkes, formerly a vol unteer officer and were deemed of suffi cient seriousness to warrant an investi gation by the senate. Col. Heistand was present today at the opening of the inquiry in company with his attor ney, Chas. W. Needham. The commit tee decided that the? proceedings should be public, that course being regarded best for all concerned. In brief the charges against Colonel Heistand are that he in connection with other officers in the army and some officials in the civil departments of the government, attempted to form a com bination to control the output of hemp from the Philippines, using their official positions and influence to further their ends. Major Hawkes preferred the charges to the secretary of war and also to the senate committee on mil itary affairs. They were denied by those against whom the allegations were made.

The murder occurred on the third floor of Mrs. Shuster-s rooming- house at 7ct5 Wyandotte street, in a room which was rented some weeks ago by Curry ini l Mrs. Irma Hudspeth, Charles Huds peth's wife. Curry was shot almost in the center of the top of the head and died thirty minutes later in the surge-on's room at police headquarters. Hudspeth made no effort to escape, but waited in the room until officers arrived and took him to the station. Hudspeth apparently lured Curry ti the room in order to kill him. tricking his wife the ins trument to entice l::r victim to his death. Hudspeth forced his wife, according to her story. r write a note to Curry asking him to come to the room, from w hieh he lv: 1 absented himself because he knew t!;e husband was here. Curry reached tie room about 11:30 o'cloc k and a feu- min utes later the other occupants of 1 he house were aroused by the sound or' a shot. Mrs. Hudspeth, ran out of ti e room calling for nrelp, and those who first responded found Curry lying oa the floor and so c lose to tiie door- 1 1 i t i could be opened but a short ihstnnee. He was unconscious and remained so until the end. Hudspeth was standing calmly at the opposite side of the room, KILLED HIS WIFE. Aged Indiana Farmer Then Fatally Shoots Himself.

Ken nedy was on his feet, but wan leaning helplessly against the ropes, and boin unable to defend himself, Keferee John, R. Lennett. of Toronto, stopped the fitrht and jrave Matthews the decision. Loth men weighed in at 1-45 pounds at 3 o'clock. Kennedy was seconded by Billy Cor coran and Jack McClelland. while Johnny limine was Matthews' chief adviser. Kennedy objected to Mat thews' wrists and hands bcins band-ae-od. but anally doubled his own on the hands and went on. The men fotifrht clean, no hittinsr in clinches, and this favored Matthews, who is ac customed to this style. Kennedy fouaht Pimely and was the ag-gressor most of the time, but Matthews was never i lie, licrhtins? back hard and landing oftener than his opponent.

CHICAGO HAS THE PENNANT Comiskey's White Sox Are Two Time American League Champions. Chicago, Sept. SO. The American League's championship fig-fit is over, and Charles Augustus Comiskey's Chicago White Sox once more clinched the flag. The only rank settled by the contests of the closinsr day ot" the race was third place, and the Detroits managed to linish there with a four-point margin, for the Athletics took a double fall out of the Clevelands. After a most dis astrous start Conny Mack's team fin is! led in a respectable position. The race was one that aroused con siderable interest, and in at least four cities the pennant bee buzzed at one time or other. The Senators started olf like champions, and cut out the pace for a little while. Then Detroit dream ed of the flat,-. Boston was another city that enjoyed the same delijrhtful vision, but Comiskey's old salts were too much for Collins' freshmen, and they shot their bolt on the last western trip, al thotitrh they won distinction as the only club that took a series from the cham pions. They lost but two themselves to Hetr.oit and Baltimore. "MeGraw the Great" had to be content with topping the second division. Hugh Duffy's Mil waukees. who were touted as sure pen nant winners, managed to take a ma jority of the games from the Senators, losincr all the rest. Cleveland proved an awful disappointment, despite the accession of CraMley, McCarthy, and Scott. Status of Yacht Race. Xew York, Sept. 30.

President Ban Johnson, of the American League, re turned to Chicago this morning after spending a day in Philadelphia fixing up his fences there, two days at tne Buffalo exposition and four nights on slecperF. He was noncommunioative about his trip, but when asked regard ing the announcement he had made in the Quaker City that the Milwaukee teani would be in St. Louis next year, he said: "I think the Brewers will be located in St. Louis all right next year. I did not see Col. Rogers while I wan in Philadelphia, nor did I see any of his players. His team will be hit pretty hard next season if all the men leave him that have been reported to have jumped to the American League. I think Connie Mack will not let all the Phillies go to "Washington, as the report has it, but he is likely to keep some of the good things himself. I didn't see Wolverton, but I see that he is going to Manning's team next year. It Is too early to say much about the plans for next year, however, and there is noth ing new to give out." Sullivan-Broad Match Louisville, Ky., Sept. 30. Dave Sulli van finished training Saturday after noon, and will rest until he climbs into the rinjf to box Kid Broad before the Southern Athletic club tonight. The bout is scheduled for 23 rounds. straight rules. lie is confident of winning. Broad is so determined to win that he is overlooking nothing calculated to im prove his condition. Sullivan is a slight favorite. Extraordinary interest is being shown. Patsy Hogan, of Cin cinnati, and "Freckles" O'Brien prom ise a peppery preliminary. Tim Hurst will arrive from New York to referee both bouts. Eastern Football Games. AT CAMBRIDGE. Harvard opened the football season Saturday afternoon by defeating Wil liams 1 to 0 in a close and interesting game. AT PHILADELPHIA. Pennsylvania played its first game of football Saturday afternoon with Le high. The latter team was in poor con dition and the red and blue simply scored at will.

New York, Sept. SO. In the matinee of the Road Drivers' association at the Empire City track C. K. G. Billings' brown nacer. Little Boy, broke the world's record. Accompanied by a run ner and driven by an amateur reins man, F. G. Jones, of Memphis, Tenn., in an effort to break his own record of 2:03?4 to wagon, Little Boy went to the quarter in 31; the half in VOOH; the three-quarters in 1:31, and passed the wire in 2:02. In the free for all trot Fred Gerken, in the second heat, drove the black gelding, The Monk, a mile In 2:10. equaling the record of John Y. McKerron in his race at Boston. Past Motor Cycle Mile. New York, Sept. 30. At the Vails- burg, N. J., cycle track today the match between Jimmy Michael, of Wales, and Floyd McFariand, of San Jose, Cal., was won by Michael. The two men met in five mile heats, paced by motor tandems. In the first heat the men kept close together, not over thirty yards separating them, until one of the tires on McFariand's wheel went flat, and Michael went on and won in 7:42 3-5. Michael was said to have rid den the last mile in l:25:i, which is the fastest mile ever made in a competition of this sort. In the second heat Mc Farland again had troubie with a tire and switched in beliind Champion's motor. Michael won easily in T:o9 4- Champion's ride against the world's record on a motor bicycle was one of the most thrilling- spectacles ever seen on the track. While the track is not banked for speed of this sort, the Frenchman let the machine fairly fly around the corners. He covered the mile in 1:15 flat, beating the record made by G. R. Butler, atHufxalo recent ly, by 7 1-5 seconds. Soma League Averages New York, Sept. SO. Since the Aug ust averages were published Hartzell, who then led in batting with .373, has lost 15 points and dropped to fourth place. Burkett, who ranked third in August with .365, now leads with .371, a margin of ten points separating him from Delehanty and Keeler. It is a pretty race, but Burkett must make a bad slump to lose at this late stage. Brooklyn and Philadelphia, both passed St Louis in club batting. Boston jump ed into first place in club fielding, with a gain of five points. A record is given whan 20 games have been played. KAIISASJIEWS, Argentine's Smelter Opening Is Yet Indefinite. Bat 300 of the 1,200 Formerly Employed Now Remain. Y O It K ELSEWHERE. Y. M. V. A. Gymnasium Earns Up at Lawrence. Early Sunday Morning Flames Destroyed Entire Property. Argentine, Kas., Sept. 30. But 300 of the 1,200 men empleyed a few months ago at the plant of the American Smelting and Refining company at Ar gentine are now at work. Many of this number expect to be thrown out of em ployment on the next pay day of the company, October 7. While nothing is known definitely, it continues to be the general belief in Argentine that the piunt is to be shut down absolutely. Although 900 men have been thrown out of employment in the past two months, there axe no idle men to be seen on the streets of Argentine. Man ager Page was instructed at the time the first cut was made in the big force, to inform the men that they could find employment at other plants maintained by the smelter trust in various parts of the country, but few cf the employes took advantage of the offer. This was due to the fact that nearly all of the married men who were employed for any length of time at the Argentine plant own homas in that town. Instead of going away to work they have se oured employment at the jiacking houses and other industris of the two Kansas Citys. Mr. Page announced not long ago that the future of the Argentine smelter would be decided at the meet ing of the executive committee of the trust in New York city. The corrLrnit tee met and adjourned a few days ago but as yet nothing has been made pub lic. Manager Page and the representa tives of the company at the plant in Argentine profess complete ignorance of the plans, if the future of the big plant has been settled no one knows it for publication, The work of cleaning the pipes and chimneys of the smelter is in progress. Besides the force engaged in this way, the ordy men now employed are at work in the vitriol department. Fur naces are being taken apart and cleaned, and it was statd at the smelter offices yesterday that consid erable ore was being secured. It is be lieved that the clean-up will mean many thousands of dollars to the com pany. As the majority of the men thrown out of employment at the smelter have secured employment in the two Kansas Citys the merchants do not feel as dis heartened as they did when the first cut was made. The lowest daily wages paid at the smelter are $1.50, and from that amount wages ranged to several dollars per day. Wahile many of the men have been unable to secure as lucrative employment, they are making sufficient at new work to continue to live comfortably. ESTATE CONTESTED BY WIVES Judge Madden Decides an Interest ing Law Case. Burlington, Sept. 80. A, civil action having some novel and interesting fea tures was decided at this term of court. Judge Madden filed his findings of fact and conclusions of law with a written opinion, from which the following his tory of the caee is gleaned-: In 1554, Job Huise marrteia the plain tiff, Jane Huise, in England. They came to Pennsylvania, where they lived till 1SC3 and accumulated 93 acres of land. Hulse then left his wife, with her consent, in possession of ttve farm and went to Illinois. She has always lived there and never remarried, but did not know where Hulse was, though she knew he was alive and, shortly after his death, learned of that event. Hulse left Illinois in 1869 and came to Anderson county, Kansas. In 1870, he married the defendant, Matilda Ivy. They lived as man and wife till his death, about two years ago, raised a family and owned 160 acres in Anderson county, worth $3,200, and 40 acres in Coffee county, worth $7,200. The plaintiff brought suit to recover a widow's share of this property. Evi dence was offered to show that in the courts of the various counties where Hulse had lived, no record of any di vorce from his first wife had ever oeen made, but the court found that he was so divorced before his marriage t the defendant, holding that the evidence offered was not sufficient to overcome the presumption of divorce. The court also found that the defendant had con tributed materially- to the accumulation of property in this and Anderson coun ties. The conclusions of law are that the defendant was the lawful wife of Job Hulse and is entitled to one-half his property and that her children are en titled to the other haif. The plaintiff will appeal to the supreme court. MUST STAY IN PRISON. Judge Hook Denies Demiog's Appli cation For Release. Leavenworth, Sept. 30. What promi ses to become one of the most interest ing cases in military circles was appeal ed from the federal court here, over the decision of Judge W. C. Hook, in the Peter C. Deming habeas corpus case. Judge Hook late Saturday afternoon refused to release Deming from the federal prison at Fort Leaven worth, al though he was not able to decide whether Deming was entitled to his freedom or not. In rendering his decis ion Judge Hook said that the question brought forth in the case was fraught with doubt, and he felt that he could decide the case either way-without do ing harm to the law. However, Judge Hook decided In fa vor of the government and against the petition asking for Deming's release on a writ of habeas corpus. In doing this Judge Hook followed the custom that when a case of this nature is tried and the result is in doubt, the judge shall render his decision favorable to the judgment that is being attacked. Deming was appointed from New York as a captain in the volunteer sub sistence department. While sr.ationed at San Francisco, in the early part of 1900, it was alleged he had embezzled the government funds of about $3,000. He was tried, convicted and. sentenced to a term of three years in the federal prison at Fort Leavenworth. The court martial which tried Dent- line was composed entirely of res-ulareturtiin as lata as October army officers, and the -contention of Deming's attorney is thata volunteer soldier cannot be tried by a court mar tial composed of regular army officers. Judge Hook, in rendering his decision, said that, after the most careful inves tigation of the law, he was unable to place the proper construction upon it, therefore his decision was against the prisoner, as it is always the custom in cases of this kind when the Judge is in doubt. Judge Hook said that a decision Jn Deming's favor would mean the release of four-fifths of the volunteer soldiers in the country now serving sentences, who have been convicted by court mar-tiaL FIRE AT LAWRENCE.

He was employed in a res taurant owned by his father, George Lange. When White entered and called for a glass of beer, young Lange re plied that he never violated the pro hibition law by selling intoxicating liquors, and White is alleged to have used vile epithets in disputing this statement. He was ejected and invited the Langes to fight it out. Howard accepted and brought White down at the first shot. The latter was brought to this city last night, where an op eration was performed in an effort to save his life. riKEMEN'3 ASSOCIATION. Fourteenth Annual Meeting at Junc tion City Oct. 15.

Gives Limit of Sentence. Burlington, Sept. 30. John Howe, aged 19 years, who was convicted in district court of criminal assault, has been sentenced to five years' confine ment in the state penitentiary. Judge Dennis Madden, before pronouncing sentence, reviewed the testimony.which, he said, showed that the young man had deliberately planned the assault. had admitted it to several witnesses and on the witness stand, and had used force to accomplish his purpose. The law gave the trial judge the discretion ary power to send him to the industrial reformatory, as it was his first offense, but he made a distinction between a premeditated crime and one committed under the influence of passion. There being no extenuating circumstances, the court gave the penitentiary sentence as a punishment Colored Conferencs Atchison, Sept. 30.

Ieduetine this sum, the ratio is found to be 57.57 per cent, instead of r.f.23 per cent. Too much prominence is given to the operating ratio by a large portion of the investing com munity, as well as by some experts in railway affairs. A very low operating ratio can be obtained by various meth ods, which do not conduce to the true prosperity of the carrier the refusal to take tratfie at rates which pay only a small protrt. but which will not other wise move at all the charge to capital account of that large class of better ments which tend toward future econ omy, but which ilo not show immediate definite and visible results the post ponement of necef s try expenditures or the practice of spreading them over a series of years ail conduce to a low 'operating ratio.' but are none the less mistakes in practice. It frequently happens that the revenue of the stock holders may be increased by measures which tend directly to increase- the op erating ratio." The most remarkable feature of the annual report of the Panta Fe is the record made by the trariic department, especially in view of the fact that the rate situation was frequently disturbed, and. on the whole, rates were only fair ly well maintained by all lines during the year. BOOK FOR SCALPERS. Cut Kate Ticket Men Can Profit by tha "Party Kate." Xo hope Is now entertained that the application of party rates can be con fined strictly to regularly organized j arties in any part of the western ter ritory. Any group of ten or more per sons traveling to a common destina tion can combine for the sole purpose of securing a reduction in rates. It will not be the first time that such a con dition has existed in western territory. For years the plan was in operation, and it proved one of the most fruitful sources of demoralization that ever ex isted. Yet it was with the utmost dif liculty the roads were able to get rid of it even temporarily, and now they are confronted with it again in a way which seems impossible for them to prevent. Open party rates are the most effect ive instrument which could be placed in the hands of ticket scalpers. One of the worst features of the case is that it is rates to the large trade centers that are most affected by the demorali zation thereby created. It is easy to get a party of ten or more persons any day who may want to go to the large centers. All the brokers have to do is to be on the lookout for these, get them to buy their tickets in a bunch, and forthwith a considerable reduction in rates is available. There seems to be only one way of dealing with the evil effectually, and that is to abolish party rates entirely. This is regarded as an impossibility under existing conditions. There are some roads that depend on them for a large part of then- pas senger revenue. "WAS IT ROCKEFELLER P Iola "Register Scents a Plot to Run a Railway Into Town. The Iola Register says: Ever since the days, way back in the '70s. when (ieo. A. l?owius and Joe Richards, at tired in silk hats and Prince Albert coats, strutted up and down Wall street in Xew York hobnobbing with million aires and spending money like race horse owners to induce the eastern moneyed men to buy the bonds of the Topeka. Iola and Arkansaw railroad which was to run southeast from Iola to the corner of the county, the build ing of such a road has been planned. It has been talked of frequently, but never carried out. Today the story is revived. People living in the southeast part of the county report that recently two buggies drove across the country, each contain ing two men. They cut right across country, opening fences that came in the way. and those persons who hap pened to be on the windward sid" of the bugsries. heard railroad talk floating: off on the breeze. This railroad business is getting too rapid to keep up with and possibly tiit-re will be a line trying to come up Washington avenue from the south in a few months. BAKTA FE PROMOTIONS.

Powerful Headlight Prevented Col lision on Rock Island. An incident near Marion, Kan., says the Wichita Beacon, indicates the su periority of the electric headlight. It w as the moans of pr eventing the wreck ing of a southbound Rock Isiand train near that point. Two mules had at tempted to cross a bridge and were cauelrt between the ties at about the center. The gleam of the electric headlight disclosed the struggling mules to the view of the engineer in time to stop the train. The trainmen, aided by Conductor Billy Thomas, got out and tried to g-et the mules off the bridge, but every time they released them the mules would break away and fail through again. Finally their legs were secured and they were roiled off the bridge. As they went down the em bankment Conductor Thomas said: "Xow stay there and learn what it means to delay the passenger service of the Great Rock Island route." The train wu delayed about forty minutes by the mules, but the engineer said that with an ordinary headlight the train would have been ditched. RETURNS FROM SCOTLAND. Peter Riach and Family Spend Three Months Across the Seas. Peter Riach, a Santa Fe cabinet maker, his wife, son and daughter have returned from a three months' visit at the old home in "Bonnie Scotland." Mr. Riaeh and his family first saw the Glasgow exposition; and Judging from the representations which they give that alone was well worth the trip. Af terward, they went to Murrayshire in the north, and spent the remainder of the time in different parts of the coun try. On the way over they saw Sir Thomas Lipton's Shamrock II at an chor along with his private yacht Krin. Mr. Riach says that as soon as people in the old country found out he was from Topeka. Kansas, they questioned him frequently about Carrie Nation and Rev. Charles M. Sheldon. He says that the people over there were deeply shocked at the news of President Mc Kinley's assassination, showing much more interest than would be expected. Mr.. Riach and his family had not been in Scotland for 14 years and nat nraliy the visit was a great event in their lives. They were glad to go back for a time, but seem to be pleased at being home in Kansas again. A part of the return voyage was anything but enjoyable to the 1,200 or more passen gers on board the "Furnessia." After about two days out the vessel struck a storm period which made all kinds of trouble, as it lasted a good portion of the trip. In mid-ocean a steamer in distress was picked up and taken in to St. Johns, Newfoundland. After that there was a smooth sea and fair weath er prevailed.

Some old-time records may be smashed into smithereens in the next few weeks. While Mr. Dick has said nothing in regard to the matter, it is dollars to any old thing that he would much rather have one of the old eight wheel McQueens, when it comes to making up lost time.

A heaithy appetite and common sense are excellent gruides to follow in matters of diet, and a mixed diet of grains, fruits .--..t and meats is Tindonbtedly the best. In spite of the claims m;ide by vegetarians and food cranks trt'ner tilly. As compared with grains and vegetables m':u turnisht-'-s the most nutriment in a highly con cvnt rated form and is digested and assimilated more quickly than veg etables or- irrains. Ir. J'.iiius Kemiisson on this subject says: ZSVrvons persons, p-''ple run down in health and of low vitality should tat fltnty uf meat. If the digestion is too tWHe at first it may b easily strongthf-n-ed bv the r.'irnlar up of Stuart's Dyspep sia Tablets after each rmal.

That large class of people who come nnbr the bead of nervous dyspeptics should eat plenty of meat and insure its complete ti j ares t ion by the systematic use of it safe. hnrmle dio-tive medicine like Stuart's Dyspepsia Tablets, composed of the natural ditresuve principles, peptones and diastase, which actually perform the work of diffestion and give the abused stomach a change to rest and to furnish the body and brain with the necessary nutriment. Cheap cathartic medicines masquerading under the na-me of dyspep sia cures arc useless f-r relief or cure of indigestion because they have absolutely no effect upon the actual digestion of food. Uyspepsia In all Its forms is simply a failure of the stomach to digest f-od and the sensible way to solve the riddle and cure th indigestion is to make daily use at mealtime of a safe preparation which is indorsed by the medio"! profes sion and known to contain active digestive- prinrioles. and ail this can truly be said of Stuart's rvspeosia Tablets.

FAILURE OF PEOPLE. Have Not Done Their Duty hy Bible and Saloon. Lack of Reverence For Majesty of the Law. Rev. J. D. Countermine, pastor of the First Presbyterian church.Sunday ev ening asked and answered the ques tion: "Who is responsible 'for the death of President ilcKinley?" His text was from Proverbs 2S:13: "He that covereth his sins shall not prosper, but he that confesseth and forsaketh them shall have mercy." Rev. Mr. Countermine said: "Two weeks ago in ray morning ser mon I stated that no one man killed President McKinley. Since then others have affirmed the same. The assassin may have been without accomplices. The overt act may have been his and his alone, but nevertheless both he and the act are products. They are prod ucts, first, of long centuries of injustice, wrong, oppression, misrule, and tyran ny, not in this country but in lands be yond the seas. There the awful seeds of malice, hate, revenge, and murder were planted, and replanted, till at length they were brought to this coun try by men and women too ignorant and morally twisted to discriminate be tween the government of the United tSates and the appressive rule of their own home land. "Secondly, the man and the act are products of a false philosophy of life, and of government. Life to the assas sin and his consorts is a low, narrow, circumscribed, limited thing; a thing of the present without any future or idea3 of God and right, heaven and hell; a mere animal existence with the gross est passions unchecked and appetites unrestrained. All government with them is grievous. They do not want any of any kind. It stands in the way of what they believe to be their liberty. Hence away with it. This is their phil osophy and their practice. "Thirdly, the man and the act are products of a corrupt national litera ture, and degenerate and false journal ism. Free speech and a free press are among our greatest blessings. Their value cannot be fully estimated, but they have been most grossly prevereted and used in different ways to corrupt the corruptibleand unbalanced the men tally weak. On this kind of literature and journalism the assassin and his as sociates have confessedly been feeding. Hence the awful deed, the supreme crime of the centuries. "Fourthly, the man and the act are products of the lamentable failure on the part of the people of the United States to do their most imperative duty relative to the Bibie and the saloon in terest. Instead of leaving the Bible, where our forefathers religiously placed it, in the schools and making it the great text-book of the nation, we have thrown it out and licensed the saloon, that gate-way of hell, where anarchy and all other vices and crimes nourish. Hence barbarous manners and feroci ous deeds, dead presidents and a weep ing world, children ignorant of God, children candidates for the gallows, in stead of candidates for good citizen ship. "Fifthly, the man and the act are products of a great lack of reverence in the United States and elsewhere, on the part of even good people, for the majesty of law. Law is beneficence acting by rule., 'Its seat,' says Hooker, is the bosom of God, and its voice the harmony of the universe.' We have not always listened to the voice, we have broken the harmony, we are one and all more or less guilty. What shall we do? Let every one, from the presi dent down to the humblest servant. seek a true philosophy of life, and honestly endeavor to live up to it. Let every one honor the law and use his utmost influ ence to persuade others to do the same. Stamp out the saloon and exalt the Bl- THERE is a mother in Xopeka that has a boy 3, 4f 5, 6, 7 or 8 years of age, we offer a chance Tuesday to clothe him at the sum of We have just J83 suits.

Presumably, as an evidence to his sanity he declares that he has tiot communicated with his wife since the divorce. Postori Traveler: The estate of th late j.it-sident pioves the absolute hon sty of the man. The poverty of the icead ruler is the best answer to the ;.bes of the bitter partisans, who for tevera.1 years back have had for their rir.iia shout how the nation's chief had soli out to the trusts. There are thousands of small shop keepers in this country who have saved more money th&ji was accumulated by the president t f ;r fcis lou and honorable career.

President Jtooseve't will leave Mr. Evans where S.e is and Mr. Evans does not propose to JrUre." THE CASE OF J. B. PAKKEE. 'Amona- the incid-jnts reported in the frets of the shoot inrf of 1 "resident Mc 5vii.W', foiiw ii the assassination, vas the a'ieK- d important part played 1 J. i-. i'fiik-r, a cohired man, who v. as clo.-fe to tht scene f the tragedy hen it te;.k j lace. The ti iai h..s been held and not a Ft intiila cf eviCi.-nc e had been develop ed to show that Parker prappled with stolrosi or k:ny ked tiie weapon out of Us hand. On the contrary, it was Fhuwn t.'i:tt other i ectatora interfer ed and at. t. d the j-art which Parker is ttf n.pt hsfr to claim for himself. The l!u:TH Courier w hich holds itself In a measure responsible for the pub lication of the original story-, says: Af-t-rr the s!:...otinjr, Mr. Parker called at t.,e Courier utliee with the information that Le stoo l near the assassin when the shots were fired and that he knock ed the revolver out of Czolgoss's hand. I.-evcntincT him from firing a third time. On account of the excitement, inci dent to t! event, Mr. I'arker's state ment was published without confirma tion and the Courier's account also found its way into the Associated J'Tesa reports and was printed through put the country. "Very soon emphatic fieciais of tha accuracy of the Parker Wjiaod wjra ,nuui,uy, ea witnesses, of. the shooting. Letters to this effect were printed in one or two of the Buffalo newspapers, but the Courier refrained from comment until the trial had taken place and the testimony had brought out the facts. The Courier Is prompted to make these remarks because certain of our colored citizens are disposed to criticize it for making public what tha official record of the trial shows to be the truth. Thus far, it is a case of veracity between J. B. Parker's unsupported statement on one Bide, and the sworn testimony of several unbiased witnesses on the other. Parker Is said to be making capital out of the notoriety, which the press unwittinerly but renerously gave him by exhibiting- himself as the man who saved the president from being shot a third time. I'nder the circumstances, the people ousrht to know the facts. It is not a question of race prejudice, as all fair-minded colored men will readily admit, but of the simple facta in the premises. These facts are of record, and Mr. Parker and his well-meaning friends are invited to inspect and calm ly consider them before they utter rash accusatoins. GLOBE SIGHTS From the Atchison Globe. Lots of selfish people never have anything-. We wish we were as willing to work as Caarlay styles is to sing. An Atchison man has had the wool pulled over his eyca so much that h la nearly blind. Have you a, fool spot? Ever notice how much trouble it causes you? Why not cut it out? It is as pood as settled that a man who can find time to play golf hasn't enough work to do. The great trouble is. if you start In to be kind, the subject of your good offices will want MOltE. After a boy passes sixteen, he can scratch his head and his mother will attribute the action to thoughtlessness. An Atchison woman has had a very fortunate life; tjoth of her husbands have been fond of her way of making soups. A man iivina: in the vicinity of Atch ison is on a bi drunk, and his folks think he has been murdered lor His Money. As a rule, a visitor doesn't have to remain longer tiian two days to be able to carry away some tale of her host's terrible harshness to his wife. After a man passes forty he should piek out a wife with her ability to make a mustard plaster in view, rather than iier parlor accomplish ments. Jim Orr quit smokim? four weeks pro, and says he does not care for to bacco now. We know all about this sort of exaggeration to "encourage others." Some one asks what is meant by the term "'strenuous life," so often met of late. It is usually applied to a poli tician. Sister, but in your case when you have an ironing, fruit preserving and a teething baby, all going on at the same time, that might be called leading a strenuous life. A visiting girl in town gads around so much that she is always late to her meals, but her hostess makes her hus band wait till she comes, though, he gets cross, and loses time-that is need ed at his work. Still, a woman must never be discourteous to a guest to please such common clay as men are made of. REFLECTIONS OF A BACHELOR From the New Tork Press. One thing that money cannot buy is a clear conscience. An old man fallen into love is an old man fallen into folly. Some men are never old enough to know better than to go and get married again. The way for a man to get a proper estimate of his importance in his own. house is to bring a baby into it. You can terxcdi a woman how to for give the sins of another woman, but you can never teach her how to forgive another for wearing better clothes tnaai She does. QUAKER REFLECTIONS. tFrom the Philadelphia Record.! Mania y nay be a failure without ba nkruptey. A fat woman never realizes how fat she really is. A woman never quarrels with her self unless as a last resource. A woman may be hard of hearing and still not be deaf to flattery. The suburbanite knows his station in lite, but sometimes he is carried be yond it. The fellow who neglects golf to at tend to business can never iiope to be much of a player. Perhaps the reason Ajax defied the lightning was because he had no mother-in-law to practice on. A college education can generally be depend'-l upon to fit a young man for a life of laziness, but it isn't essential. Hoax "There's an Indication of an early fall." Joa x "W hat Hoax "That banana skin on the sidewalk." Wigg "It's the eaxly bird that catches the worm." Wagg "Oh, I don't know. Maybe there's an early bird trust that gobbles 'em all up." Scribbler "Smithkins seems to be making a great hit as a writer of fic tion." Scrawler "Yes, tie has one of the best press agents in the business." The ttndertakt-r ami the dyer met in a narrow passageway. "You first." said the dyer politely. "After you." replied the undertaker, not wishing to be out done in the matter of courtesy. He had gone to ask her father for her hand in marriage. "Well, sir, what is it?" snapped out the old man. "Re member, I am a man of few words." "I don't care if you're a man of only one word, if it's the right one," replied the suitor. He got the girl. The football season is at hand. With broken ribs and legs and knuckles.

"I am going to the Astor library this very minute, and the next time Mr. Van Schalk comes to see me he will not go away and tell that horrid dowdy, Nell Denham, that I am 'a pretty little featherhead.' Oh, dear! Oh, dear! I he had only said it to any one else in the world but to that girl, who still wears tour-in-hand ties and big sleeves, as Noah's family did when it came out of the ai-kaiui doesn't know this year's style of sailor hat from last year's!" And so she hied herself off to the Astor library. Amaryllis was looking very sad when Frivolve arrived. She didn't have Fri vole's rose and cream complexion or Frivole's merry laugh. But Frivole didn't appreciate her blessings that morning. The first thing she did was to begin to sob. "Frivole, dear, what is it?" "Oh, nothing, only I wish I wish I could have a little wrinkle in my fore head like you, and then people would say I thought sometimes." Annryilis rang for tea. "I'm so discouraged, Amaryllis." And she rolled her handkerchief into a ball and dabbed each eye. "I want to be sensible and serious, and I don't know how. I want to be clever and improve my mind. I want to be like you!" And such a picture of appealing misery the silver teapot had scarcely reflected before. Amaryllis looked horrified. "Air. Van Schaik, the awfully clever one, who writes books and is a lawyer and is going to congress and all that, you konw well, he called once in awhile, and he said I was a f-feather-head. Oh, what a dreadful word!" "And you wish to please this gitted creature?" said Amaryllis, dropping a lump of sugar into Frivole's tea. "Sup IKse you read some. Take up a course of history. Dolly Madison is a fad just now. Kead up Dolly and the war of 112. War makes good small talk these days, and if he is going to congress" "it sounds very hard," faltered the ambitious one, "hut I'll try." "That's r'ght, dear. Now I'll confide in you. Frivole, I want to be frivol ous." "oh, Amaryllis!" "I'm tired of being learned. I want to konw how to be attractive and pleasant when people are tired as well as when they are fresh and ready to listen and argue. I want to be like you. Now, tell me how. You never weary people or task their intellects or upset their nerves. You amuse theui and refresh them." "Oh, talk nonsense and wear pretty dresses, and when the atmosphere is sad just curl your hair all over! I think you are awfully foolish, though. I don't know much about anything else, but mamma always paid a flirt was born a tiirt, and I think you would not be halt so nice If you. wers mvolous, Amaryllis." So they parted. It was fragrant and softly gloomy in the lampllghted music room, and Fid vole, looking rather white and anxious, sat bolt upright on the piano stool. All day she had been "studying liter ature" and "improving her mind." Kings and queens were to her as so many puppets. Paganism and civiliza tion were mere words to play with. She was well up in literature. It was a nov el position for Frivole, and when Mr. Van Schaik was ushered in he was sur prised. She didn't run into the hall to meet him with some absurd welcome which he heard, misunderstood and an alyzed as charming. She didn't laugh and shake her hand vigorously and then sit down with a cloud of frills around her and chatter to him. Alas, she did nothing of the kind! He awoke her from a scene of carnage when he entered, and she raised two brilliant eyes and a flushed face from her book, advanced with intense suf fering depicted on every feature and, wringing his hand, said: "Oh, Mr. Van Schaik, how glad I am to see you! Wasn't it perfectly dread ful about poor Mary, queen of Scots?" It was very unkind of him, but Mr. Van Schaik went away to the moun tains next day. He declared that his nerves were completely shaken up. Amaryllis shook the silver tea bell an grily, and Frivole allowed two mean dering tears to caxess her pink checks. "Well, it's a consolation anyhow, Amaryllis, to know that you were, not a success." "Thanks." said Amaryllis. "What did they say when you tried to be like me?" "Well, I don't like to seem rude, Fri vole, dear, but the family wouldn't listen. They pimply absconded. The girls all said I had turned into Dodo. You remember Dodo in the book, who talked about her baby- as a landed pro prietor and wished she could be a Christ tan martyr, so that her fingers would curl up like bacon when they burned her at the stake' "Then my iaugh you know you laugh all the time. Frivole well, my iautrii scared Bob so that h knocked over a vase which father brought from Egypt, ami they all concluded that I whs hysterical and had better take a vacation." "Poor Amaryllis!

Why, he almost fainted, and well, I don't think he appreciates clever, cultured women. It all depends on v, ha t one is used to, I suppose." And then they drank some more tea.

Johnson Jordan and Jess Harper Got It. Used on the Sight of the Murder. The Statement Conies Second Hand, However. John Collins' attorneys have in their possession a statement, supposed to be the death bed confession of Thomas Hawkins, a colored convict who died in the Kansas penitentiary at Lansing last April, to the effect that young Col lins is innocent of the murder of his father, J. S. Collins, May 13, 1898, and that Johnson Jordan and Jess Harper were the real murderers. Welch Welch, the attorneys for John Collins, who are try ing to secure a new trial on the grounds that he was denied the right of appeal, have in their possession a written statement made by Ellsworth Hacker purporting to be the death bed confession of Hawkins. Hacker was a nurse in the hospital at the penitentiary when Hawkins died. Attorney Welch refuses to discuss the new phase in the Collins case and wdll not allow the written statement to be seen. The attorneys will not state whether tiiey place any credence In the supposed confession or not. Hawkins died at the penitentiary April 26 and on May 2 Hacker wrote what be claims was Hawkins' death bed confession. Tha confession was sent to Mrs. J. S. Collins soon aXter it was written without the knowledge of the prison authorities. The confession is combined with statements made by Hacker to the effect that Hawkins was employed in a Topeka livery stable in and that the evening betore the crime was committed Jonnson Jor dan and Jess Harper, the two notorious negroes who figured in the Collins case, came to the barn where Hawkins was employed and hired a horse and buggy, and that the buggy was not returned to the barn until the next nay, and then by others "than Jordan and Harper. The statrtjrient is made by Hacker that while Hawkins was in the hospital he talked of an innocent man being confined in the penitentiary, and in his delirium he talked of John Collins. The night he died he was very weak a.nd told Hacker the story. He said that afterwards he went to Lawrence, and while there Harper came to him and told him thtt he and Jordan were trying to tlx tile crime on John Collins, and that if Hacker told of the buggy that Jordan and Harper might get into trouble, and threatened him if he told. Hacker claims that Hawkins used the names of several men and women in his confession which he can not remember. He says that Hawkins said that Harper told him that he and Jordan went to the house to rob, and that Collins woke up and that they had to kill him. Hawkins was sent to the penitentiary from Lawrence November 23, lSi9, for highway robbery. He was in the hospi tal six months before he died on April 2S. Hacker is a life man sent to the penitentiary from Pratt county in ISs-t for complicity in a county seat fight mu rder. Hacker claims that Hawkins said that Attorney Hayden talked with him during the Collins trial but that he did not like Hayden and would not tell him his story. Another convict named Clark, from Hutchinson who is a lawyer, says that Hawkins told him he knew of an innocent man in the penitentiary and asked him if he should tell what he knew. Clark told him he ought to. Hawkins told him the man was John Collins but did not tell the story. E. L. Hawkins, an officer at the penitentiary, also claims to know something that will substantiate the Hawkins story. It is claimed that John Collins never saw Hawkins. The story has its weak spots and the weakest is that Hawkins kept quiet so long- REDDEN UPHELD. Judge Haze n Refuses a of Prohibition. Writ Judge Hazen in the district court this morning denied the writ of prohibition in the Waldo-Calvin case. Calvin was subpoenaed by Assistant Attorney A. L. Redden under the in quisition law to give testimony against liquor sellers. G. C. Clemens got out a writ of prohibition to prevent Redden from compelling Calvin to testify on the grounds that Redden in issuing a subpoena exercised judicial authority when he has no such right Judge Ha zen held that in issuing subpoenas Redden was not assuming judicial au thority but that the act was purely ministerial and that a writ of prohibi tion will not issue against any but a judiciary officer. Judge Hazen announc ed that the question of whether Redden had the right to subpoena witnesses was not before the court and that he would make no decision on that point at this time.

"fighting Boh" Evans Testifies Before Schley Court. Washington, Sept. 30. When the Schley court convened for the after noon session Rear Admiral Robley D. Evans, who as captain, cotnmasded the battleship Iowa, during the battle off Santiago, was called to the witness stand. He stated that he had first join ed the flying squadron off Cienfuegos on May 22, at 1 p. m., when he took tha dispatches from Admiral Sampson to Commodore Schley. These dispatches he had sent to Commodore Schley by his executive officer. Commander Rog ers, he not seeing the commodore him self. As the dispatches were sealed, he did not know their contents. Judge Advocate: "Please state what, if anything was done while this squad ron was oil Cienfuegos toward develop ing the fact as to whether the Spanish squadron under Admiral Cervera was or was not in the harbor oi Cienfue gos?" "There was nothing dons, so far as I know. What if anything, within your knowledge, was done toward destroy ing, or preventing the further comple tion of the enemy's batteries in the vi cinity of Cienfuegos?" "On Sunday afternoon, I am quite sure it was. Commodore Schley formed his squadron in columns and stood in to a range of about a mile and a half from shore, made a turn and stood out again. That is the only thing: I know." "Was any attack made upon the ene my, or by the enemy at that time?" "No. They all got up and stood on the breastworks and looked at us. We steamed out again. There was no firing on either side." "Were you then within range of the batteries in the vicinity of Cienfuego3 with the heavier guns of your ship?" "I did not see any batteries. There was a work they were completing there." "Were you within range of this?" "Quite easy range, yes. "The battery of the Iowa consisted of what?" "Four 12-inch, eight 8-inch and twelve 4-inch guns." "Were these embryo batteries with in range of your 8-inch guns when you steamed in?" "They were within easy range," "Were they within range of the 4-inch guns "I should think so, yes." "Did the Iowa coal ship while In Cienfuegos, and if so, how much did she take "We took in 20 tons of coal on tha 23rd. We begun about 7 In the morn ing and stopped at 6 in the afternoon. We took coal from a collier alongside the Merrimac, I think." Admiral Evans said that he had coal ed the Iowa from the Merrimac on May 23, while off Cienfuegos and that ho had no difficulty in doing so. Speaking of the report of the condi tion of the weather, made by the Iowa on May 24 and 25, the witness said that on the evening of the 24th it was squal ly; that on the morning of the 25th the sky was overcast and that the weather was again squally. On the afternoon it was worse, there being considerable rain. After leaving Cienfuegos the vessel had steamed to a point about 30 miles south of Cienfuegos, arrived there on the evening of the 26th and at that time the squadron was heading to the east. The weather at that time, he said, was not such as to prevent the coaling of ships at that date. The Iowa at that time had about 825 tons of coal aboard, or sufficient for steaming 3,000 miles. On blockade the ship used 30 or 40 tons of coal a day. "Why was the retrogade movement made asked Judge Advocate Lemly. "I do not know," was the reply. The witness said he could have coaled at sea on the 27th, as the sea was smooth. Admiral Evans said that before Jeaving Key West, on May 30. to join tha flying stpiadron at Cienfuegos, Capt. Chadwiek had communicated to him the secret code arranged by Capt. McCalla. He had not. however, reported this code to Admiral Schley upon his arrival, supposing that the admiral knew about the code. Admiral Evans said that he had not gone in nearer to the -Mon on the occa sion of the bombardment of that vessel because he was "in formation following the flagship." During the examination of Admiral Ev ans the judge advocate asked the witness concerning a statement by a lieutenant of the Stanish navy, printed by the navy de partment, to the effect tiiat at dark the American ships withdrew to the south ward, tlisappearing. The introduction of a. book was objected to, and Admiral Dewey said: "The wdtness has not told what distance was maintained by the fleet. We don't care for tha.t kind of in formation. Admiral Evans was thre and can answer for himself. We want facts; not newspaper articles." ALLEN SELLS' ESCAPE. Dragged by a Stirrup While Playing Cowboy. Allan Sells would have been dragged to death Saturday afternoon but for the gentleness of the horse he was riding. Allan Sells rode out to the football game at Washburn college Saturday afternoon on the old family horse Chesterfield, that his father, Willie Sells, used to do a bareback act on in the Sells Bros.' circus. On leaving the game the boy rode out in the crowd. The first that was seen by the throng was little Allan hanging head down wdth his left foot fast in the stirrup. His head did not quite touch the ground. He made no cry but tried to extricate himself. Several men made a rush to catch the horse, but old Ches terfield was well aware of the danger to his young master and stopped and stood still until the boy was rescued. Had the horse become unmanageable young Sells would have been killed be fore assistance could have reached him. BULL FLED IN TERROR. Refused to Fight Pica dor Mounted on an Automobile. Bayonne, Sept 30. The bull fight here in which the picadors rode in an automobile, a scheme suggested by M. Deutsch, proved a grotesque fiasco. The bull fled in panic from the machine, which, while pursuing him, nearly squashed against the barrier. The public was first amused by the scene, but afterward became enraged. The automobile was a small one, of twelve horse power, sheathed in iron to prevent the bull from catching his horns in it anywhere. The indignation of the assembled Spaniards was only appeased by the re moval of the motor from the ring. The bull was afterward killed in the usual way. Packing House Burned. New York, Sept. 30. The pork pack ing establishment of Henry Muhs, at Passaic, N. J., was destroyed by tire to day. The loss is estimated at aDout $175,000.

Ca.nr.vell, who for the last three years has be-n in the revenue cutter service in Alaskan waters has returned to this city and is about to be: work on his official report to the tit- jury depart ment. He was warm in his praises of this undeveloped northern country and predicts a great future for it. He made tets of the coal found along the Yukon river. It was found to be unsuitable to burn on steamers, unless the latter are fitted with special funnels. There is a large amount of carbon in the coal. In Kuyukuk river district and in that of Tan a ni. river there are large tracts of rich land, which are undeveloped, m-ing to the enormous expense of get ting in food. From what little prospect ing has been done in the districts, it has been proved that the land not only contains large quantities of gold but that there are liberal deposits of cop l"r. The prospects in Nome are favorable and Lieut. Cantwell says the newly built city will doubtless be a permanent one. A pilot chart of the Yukon has been perfected by Cantwell and will no doubt be issued shortly. HE DOESN'T KNOW. Superintendent De Bernardi, of Mis souri Pacific, Is Skeptical. Supt. A. IJeBernardi, of the Missouri ltc-irie lines in Kansas, arrived in To I'eka in his private car and spent Sat urday forenoon visiting- the general offices of the Santa Fe and Rook Island. .Mr. Lel rrtardi's headquarters are at isawptomie. He was interviewed by a Siate Journal reporter in regard to "the M issouri Iaciflc plans for Kansas. He aid: "I do not think there Is much founda tion in the stories about an extension of the Missouri Pacific from Topeka. Nor do I think that the story of a through train from Joplin to Topeka is an;, thins? but newspaper gossip. I have recei ed no official information of any ha ng"S." Mr. HeP.ernardi left Saturday In his car. which was transferred to the Santa fe tracks. EMPORIA NEEDS WATER, Supply in the Neosho River is Very Low. Kinporia. Kan., Sept. 30. The water situation is again causing- alarm. Wa terworks Kngineer Bacon, says there is enough wpter to supply the town for 13 days j t. tae rate it is now being: used, .r would last 2'J if the people would be economical. By last night the reser voir, which holds about 14.000.001) gal lons, had been tilled. Today the city is 1. Hinninir to diti h the pools above the iam. There are several large deep pools f water up the river that are shut off from the pumping- station by riffles. The idea is to ditch these riffles, begin ning: with the furthest pool and start the water down the stream. Many of the riffles, hov. ever, are too rocky to ditch. At these a stationary eng-ine BUSY MEN Shouisl Weigh This Question, and Profit by Topeka Citizen's Experience. A lame or aching- back is a handicap. lrive the ache away and make work a i'leasure. Learn what backache means. Iearn that the backache is kidney at he. Iearn how to shake it off. Kead how a Topeka citizen did it. Mr. J. It. Black, of 1005 East Sixth street, paper hanger and painter, says: Inning the three years that I suffered from kidney complaint, the grumbling i.::ar pain across the small of my back greatly inconvenienced me when reaching and straining, as is necessary to do in j.L,per hanging. I aiso had a very distressing and annoying weak ness of the kidenys, particularly notice able at night, when it greatly broke my rest. and 1 arose as tired in the morning as when I went to bed. When I saw I loan's Kidney Pills advertised I got a box at liuwley Snow's drug store, corner of Sixth street and Kansas ave--nue. They gave me the greatest satis faction, and in a short time the pain in my back disappeared. For sale by all dealers. Price, SO rents. Foster-Milburn Co., Buffalo. N.

The same means was resorted to four years ago. Of course some of the farmers along the river are kicking. The city paid one farmer $50, to be per mitted to place an engine ,or ditch the stream on his farm. The investigation of the stock yard well which the city fig-ured on, proved fruitless. A committee went to confer with the Santa Fe people the other day and the manager of the stock yards said it was useless to test the six-foot well, for he pumped it dry threee rimes last Monday watering 600 head of cat tle.and had to wait each time two hours for it to fill again. The Wright well i in the same vicinity and If a test on it gives no better results than did the Santa Fe well, the city will either have to use the Cottonwood river or whistle for water. LIQUOR ANARCHISTS. That is What Judge Garrer Calls Joiatlata. "These fellows who are breaking the liquor laws should be classified as anarch ists." said Judge T. F. Carver in a tem perance address at Euclid Avenue lleth idst church Sunday evening. "Recently," said Judge Garver, "a cry has gone up over the country against an archists. It is a. late cry, but I hope it la stil! in time. Come to think of It, though, when we denounce those who are killing our rulers we are very narrow. The as sassin who sent the murderous bullet through the body o President McKinley had ndLhing, as he has stnoe declared, against McKinley personally, but was shooting at government. Our city here is full of anarchists of this class. "A vry erroneous notion." he continued, "regarding right and wrong is that every thing right emanates from law. But we must remember that the eternal fiat has gone forth that certain things are right and some are wrong, and it is not in the power of any man to curtail them. The greatest thing we have to contend with Is the seliishness of men. If we could only get rid of selfishness what a glori ous world it would lie to live in. "Of all the evils we have to contend with perhaps there is none that come upon us w ith such power as the liquor traffic. It is like the cyclone caused by the cold air and warm air rushing to gether from opposite directions. There is the appetite of man on the one hand and the i;reed of the liquor dealer on the other which makes it more difficult to contend with because we have this com bination of forces. Thus the man w-ho sets up a liquor shop In our midst n.t only damns his own soul, but hurts others. By the prohibitory law we are trying re ni'ive these dingers, but it can't lie done without our help. A pestilence may pass, but here is something grinding away as a grent glacier, and yet what are we trying to do ai-Kiut it? Our legislature has taken pains to watch particularly in the south ern part of the state against cattle infect ed with f'ver. .Should we not do as much f-r our hnvs?' And when these fellows from St. Louis and Kansas City load up their poisonous liquors should we not pro tect our boys against it? "I am glad to know," continued Judge Carver, with much earnestness, "that we ore making a great advance in Topeka. 1 am glad we have the mayor we have, and the chief of police, Mr. Srah!. who wiil eventually trample these fellows in the dust. The greatest curse we have now is the drug stores: and perhaps we can't do much until we have a new Tiro bate judge. There is somebody blunders a good deal. I don't think it is the pol.ce and I don't think it is Judge Hnzen. There has been a good deal of talk about Judge Hnzen, but .so far as I can see he seems to administer the law as it comes. I am glad to know there are so manv e-on- people in Topeka. The trounle is there are so many cowards. If only all the church people would stand up and be counted we wouldn't be having anv such contest in the supreme court as is coming up this week to decide whether Mr. Par ker was elected, or Mr. liuirhes is going in by a scratch of a few votes. Rut we have hope for Tor5fca and for Kansas. Ev and by we shall have a prohibitory law all over the land. And if necessary we wiil herd these anarchists that are strik ing at the law with all other anarchists aud will banish them all." DIED iri POOR HOUSE Sad Fate of a Woman Who Had $40,000 Willed Her. Wilkesbarre, Pa.. Sept. SO. Rudolph Pock, a bookbinder of Brooklyn. N. Y.. died November 27, lSitii. leaving an estate of $40.o00. A banking house of New York was named as executor of the estate. They could find no relatives of the dead man unt.l some months ago, w hen ti was learned that a distant rela tive named Mrs. Christiana Mathias, was once a resident of this city. A representative of the banking- firm came here to investigate only to find that the woman had died in the poor bouse last November. Harry Bone has returned from Ash land. F. G.

That was shown in Gill, Cave, Anderson and Worseley iri Saturday's game at Wash burn. Roy Pratt says that the story given out by the police that he was drunk when he was robbed by Wm. Plue is not true. He says he was drugged by Plue. Blind Boone is in town, and will give a concert at the Farkdale Methodist church this evening. He is fleshier and wears more diamonds than ever before. Auditor Cole is trying to hurry up the state house heating plan builders by threatening to impose the contract penalty of $10 a day for every day after October 15 that the job is unfinished. The social which was to have been given Saturday evening at Knights of Pythias hall, corner of Sixth and Qiiincy, has been postponed for a month, on account of the inclement weather. Charles M. Sheldon will read his po litical story, "The Wheels of the Ma chine," to the Young People's Christian Temperance union of the First Con gregational church of Kansas City Tuesday evening.

Tom Cave went into his first football game at Washburn Saturday a green man. He came out a star. Cave's run down the field following up a punt will be remembered as one of the neatest plays seen on the Washburn field. W. H. Kemper, of Horton, will be a candidate for the position of grand secretary of the I. O. O. F., made va cant by the absconding of D. W. Kent. Kemper was defeated by Kent with a small majority a few months ago. A football team is to be organized at the Medical college.

Tracy is "still out." Sterne, unworried, says: "They seem to have their hands full of trouble getting the fellows out whose terms have already expired. Why should I lose any sleep?" T. 9. Williams, the Topeka free em ployment -agent, is going to have a blackboard made to set in front of his office at the city hall. On the black board he will write the offers of posi tions which he has on file at his offiee. F. D. Coburn voted against the set of resolutions passed by the regents of the Agricultural college and sent out to the papers which said in effect: "We have been running this college and we have been running it just about proper, don't you think?" There is one piece of boardwalk in Topeka that bears a charmed life. It is in front of a grocery store at Sixth and Western avenues. This morning a young woman was tripped on one of the loose boards and narrowly escaped a serious accident. The sidewalk men are evidently blind when they pass this walk. E. B. Cowgill, of the Kansas Farmer, is not convinced by laudatory resolu tions that the regents are not running the agricultural college away from fine farming and toward tine arts. The reg ents have voted money to carry on "seed breeding," but the work is given to the professor of botany and is not given into the care of the agricultural department proper. Walter L. Holcomb, until a few months ago stenographer in the office of Labor Commissioner W. Lee Johnson, has turned up at Kendallville, Indiana. He is writing on the Kendallville Sews, a, weekly paper. He interviews farmers that come' into the town and furnished a column and a half to two eolums of matter, giving the farmers an inter change of opinions on the handling of crops and a symposium of what they think of that town as a trading place. The Mt. Carmel Coal company has bought the lease of TCo. 5 coal shaft. This is the mine owned by W. F. Dera ing and operated by Arch Hile. The. lease runs for 20 years and was held by J. H. March of Topeka. The Mt. Carmel company is owned by C. J. Devlin of Topeka. It is his first en trance into mine operating in Burlin game. For a good many years he prac tically controlled operations in Scran ton and Osage City. Of late he has abandoned Scranton, but has retained pome hold in Osage City. Burlingame Chronicle. MAJ. AKDRSOS'S BLANKS. Xhey Wili Be Used by Department of Agriculture. Major T. J. Anderson, statistical agent for the department of agriculture at Washington, has adopted a new form of blank. The idea for the blanks was entirely original, and Special Agent Thomas B. Baldwin, who was in Topeka last week, has expressed him self as well pleased with it, and will recommend its adoption by the depart-, ment and its ultimate use by all the agents of the department. The blanks provide for a record of the reports made to the state statis tician by the agents in each county. In Kansas there are over 300 agents, and quite a number do not report promptly, and some have entirely stopped. The blanks contemplate the keeping of a record of the number of reports received from each agent, and when he fails to make the required re ports during several consecutive months, the record will clearly show It and his name will be dropped from the list and another substituted. The blanks will prove more valuable in states where the number of agents making monthly reports exceeds 500. Co., we will oner our October 15, the Time of Removal. STOCK CONSISTS OF: Watches, Diamonds, Rings, Silverware, Cut Glass, Optical Goods, everything usually carried Avenue. SUTTON IS KEADI. Revenue Collector Expects to Soon Know His Successor. Mike Sutton is ready to move out of the internal revenue office at short no tice. He expects, since Tracy has been turned down, tnat Senator Burton will go ahead with the appointment of Simpson to show that he can really get a man appointed. When asked what he thought the rejection of Tracy for dis trict attorney augured, Sutton said to a Kansas City reporter that he guessed it meant that there will now be a rush for nis place, as Burton will have to make a showing of some kind at once. "Whom do you think he will recom mend for your place?" was asked him. "Jim Simpson, and I don't suppose there will be any objection by the pres ident to his appointment." FEW i.l Efl ENLIST. Kitchener's Call For 25,000 Troops Gets Slow Response. New Tork, Sept. 30. Explanatory of the enlistment problem the London cor respondent of the Tribune says: The re-enlistment of the imperial yeo menry is not proceeding at a rate to suit the military authorities. Very few sound men are forthcoming and it is doubtful whether the order will have any real effect. Numbers of unfit men have offered to rejoin, but as Lord Kitchener does not want them the war office has to refuse them. During the last 14 days only 100 men have been re- enlisted. The men of the old yeomanry do not think the terms, five shillings a day. good enough, as there is no sep arate allowance for families. Medically unfit yeomanry have been arriving in shoals from South Africa, every trans port bringing some home. Out of 15,000 men over 1,W0 nave been sent oacK as useless. No doubt when ihe parties re sponsible for passing tnese men are found censure will be very severe. There seems to be no doubt that Lord Kitchener has requested 25,000 more mounted men and larger powers for dealing with the Boers in the field. All ports of rumors are in circulation and it is even said that the king summoned a meeting of the cabinet to consider the question of Lord Kitchener s proposi tion and that he closely questioned Mr. Broderick in regard to recruiting which has fallen off so much of late. All that is known definitely is that the British commander is eager to bring hostilities to an end as quickly as possible. JDenmark Wants Money. Copenhagen, Sept. 30.

New Tork SeDt. 30 This will rank as a bad year for the farmers through out Great Britain, says the Tribune's London correspondent. Alike In l-ng- land and in Scotland the acreages sown to wheat and barley are smaller than thev were last year, and there is a de cline in the number of cattle, sheep and piss kept In England. Nor is the de cline an unimportant one. In many resnects it leaves British agriculture in a more restricted plight than for years. In Scotland the position is not so tiau as in Kngland. TRANSVAAL SITUATION. Sir Charles Warren Discusses the British Mistakes. New Tork, Sept. 30. Discussing the South African situation, the London correspondent of the Tribune says: Verv little has been beard aDout rr Charles Warren since -he was recalled from South Africa after his disastrous defeat at Spion Kop. The October number of the National Review mm. however, publish an article which oe has written, entitled "Some Lessons from the South African War. Charles criticizes the preparations that were made by the war office and asserts that the efficiency of the army was lim ited to bringing troops into the field. To what extent mistakes in the conduct o. the war had been caused by the cabi net now and again taking direct con trol of the army operations has, he says, not vet been ascertained, but it is known that political questions have in some instances over-ruled military ex pediency. A well organized army should be capable of adapting its operations 10 the ever changing views of the cabinet, although these changes may lead to lavish expenditure and greatly deferred success.The increased number of troops I Pi V o the Clements Clothing t 4- i n n n fl in a f irstclass t 5 i fl for one week beginn per emng, required was due to i n perfect training of the British sohliers and the absent---of regulations defining the duties and functions of the general officers in thlr several grades. Sir Charles Warren, probably speak ing from personal experience, point? out that the keeping of an officer sec ond in command of aba.ttaliohon tenter hooks four years may so sap his char acter of the most essential qualities for command that he may when his turn comes be of less value when selected for command than he would have been under a system of seniority. RUSSIAN RANK FAILURES. Financial Failures N umerous in South Provinces. London, Sept. 30. The Odessa corre spondent of the Times says that the recent bank failures in south Itus.-ua were caused by the general feeling of insecurity among commercial circles in the south. The collapse of the SCliarkoff land bank, with liabilities of 7,Xo.ouu rouble $3.u70.0i and almost no assets, had a specially injurious effect. Kharkoff business concerns have tot their reputation to such an extent that Odessa traders have told them openly that if they want goods they must pay cash down. O uSk.
